Reviews of Griffin Houghton (Interior Designer)

Andrew Muller

We have been working with Emily Griffin Design for over 10 years now, making custom furniture for their projects. They are professional, great designers, and advocate for their clients. I have been so impressed with their work, my family has used their services for the design of our cottage. We have been equally impressed working with Emily as a client as we were when working with her as a supplier. I'd highly recommend her!

We purchased our house knowing that we had a major renovation ahead of us, and what struck us most with Emily Griffin Design Inc. was their genuine excitement and vision around the possibilities with the existing "bones" of the house. We had never gone through a major redesign or even worked with a designer before. They were patient with us, really listened to our needs, and came back with an incredible design - something we could never have imagined on our own. The result is that they gave us such a beautiful home, one that we couldn't imagine getting to on our own, but it feels 100% "ours". They were respectful of our budget and made the space luxurious while keeping the project costs under control. Thank you Emily Griffin Design Inc. for helping create our dream home and making the process so much fun.

I hired Stephanie Houghton of Emily Griffin Design Inc. and I couldn't be more delighted with the outcome. She had an amazing vision for my house which started out as my kitchen and quickly crept to me soliciting Steph's help to update nearly the entire house. Every suggestion and design idea was spot-on. Anything from repositioning items in my kitchen for better space efficiency, to opening up a doorway to the ceiling which added so much flow to my upstairs landing, to little touches like custom pillows and beautiful hardware for cabinetry - Steph thought of it all, and it's made a huge difference. Stephanie also worked so well within my restricted budget. She was always respectful of what I could afford, and pushed me in the right ways to invest where it would really matter (like the new hardwood floor I put in, which COMPLETELY transformed my main floor and was worth every penny!). I can't say enough positive things about Stephanie and Emily Griffin Design Inc. Highly, highly recommend!

It was a pleasure to work with Emily. Her attention to detail, project management skills and killer creative sense made our renovation meet every hope we could have had for it. We loved this collaboration and the results. We’d highly recommend her.

"With great vision and sense of style, Emily guided us through so many decisions for our new country home. She is extremely organized, efficient, and respectful of a budget. She pulled together a mixture of new and old that is perfectly suited to the space and our wish to have a comfortable gathering space for friends and family. We couldn't be happier!"

Emily oversaw a complete kitchen, powder room and master bathroom renovation at our home in Toronto. We were so pleased with her design choices. Emily is both easy to work with and a talented professional. The kitchen was actually shot by House & Home! We look forward to working with her again on future projects in the house.

I've worked with a couple of designers in the past, but Stephanie has been the best. Not only does she listen to my needs and budget, she has great taste and is able to enhance my own natural style. She is fun to work with and very thoughtful. She even has my husband talking design and letting her move some of his things around (big, big breakthrough). I can see working with her for years.

We hired Stephanie Houghton of Emily Griffin Design Inc. to help us furnish our new home. She is an accomplished designer with an abundance of talent and insight, not to mention a delight to hang out with throughout the process. She understood our budget and guided us through her vision for our home and we are thrilled with the results. Would highly recommend her as she's a total pro with amazing taste!
