Rael’s work is wonderful. She has a great eye for colour and design and I couldn’t be happier with the end results. I would highly recommend her as I found her to be extremely personable and professional.

I have worked with Rael on a few of her projects with window coverings. Her attention to detail is impeccable and her ability to problem solve far exceeded my expectations. I highly respect her opinions and her abilities, and goes without saying I would recommend her.

I so enjoyed working with Rael! She was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so grateful for that. She helped me out of a real pickle I had gotten myself into! Wrong choices for colors..... She helped me pick colors that were very much more suited to my taste. I love, love, love the colors she chose! My house now feels so peaceful and right. I was also offered the company's prices which was a bonus! I highly recommend Rael and this Company .

Rael helped us finalize a colour palette for our first house. Her vast knowledge and experience with colour paired with her enthusiastic, personable approach and attention to detail was exceptional. I was so relieved to have her professional input and am eager to see the space painted!

I live in a 55 plus Condominium in need of some updating. We hired Rael to come up with two colour concepts for our building as we will be painting our interior walls. Rael put together a package that also took into consideration flooring and carpeting for our owner's to view. On top of that she gave us two concept colours for our outside entrance door. Rael's attention to detail is wonderful and her work very professional.

Before I had called Rael I had started some minor reno's - kitchen countertop, backsplash, and countertops in both washrooms. That turned out beautifully. However, I also had new shower tile and backsplash installed in the main washroom. The shower tile job was a disaster and needed to be redone. I didn't want to go through the same tile company and needed advice. That is when I called Rael. (Rael to the rescue!) I wanted her professional opinion on choosing new tile colours, design, wall colour and drapery. This is certainly not a large job, but Rael approached this with enthusiasm. You can tell that she has a passion for what she does. Her attention to detail and natural creative flair made this process so enjoyable. . I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Without hesitation we would highly recommend Rael for any design or Colour project! We had just moved to Kelowna and had purchased a house in a great location but it needed a new facelift to bring it up to modern day. Soon after purchasing the house I was in touch with Rael and planning our new renovations. Rael was very quick to respond and happy to help with the project.Rael helped us see things that I would have never have thought of changing to make the space more functional and her taste for design and colour was outstanding. Rael helped us with ideas on opening walls, kitchen counter choices, kitchen cabinet colours, luxury vinyl and carpet choices, enhancing the colour on our brick fireplace, window and door options, fireplace mantel suggestions, ceilings, also the entire house paint colours. Rael also designed a space in the house with two options of how we should use it and how eventually it can be changed if we choose to do so. Rael also provided us with several contacts to help us with our renovation which extremely helped with the timeline speeding up the renovations. Rael is a wonderful talented designer! Her service was outstanding as well as her professionalism. It was a pleasure to work with her and we will continue to do so... Thanks for everything Rael!

I hired Rael to do a colour consultation when I was re-painting the interior walls and trim of our house. Before I hired Rael, I had been going to the paint store multiple times per week brining home numerous paint swatches. I agonized over the many variations of white and off-white to the point where I was at my wits’ end and feeling terribly stressed-out. With so many different undertones in the paint colours not to mentioned trying to complement my existing flooring, furniture, and lighting, I realized I was at a real risk of choosing the wrong colour and not being at all happy with my final product. The painting project was going to cost me several thousand dollars so it felt more than worth it to spend a couple hundred dollars to hire Rael for some advice. Enter Rael. She was a dream to work with. Her communication and punctuality were top-notch. We arranged a time where she could come to my house to help me decide on paint colours to make my vision of a ‘light and air yet warm and cozy’ come together. She came over with loads of paint swatches, ideas, and enthusiasm. We spent time going over the colours for each area of my home and we also discussed affordable ways to repurpose some of my existing décor items and furniture. The following day Rael emailed me beautiful design boards that included details of the paint colours that we selected and visual samples for the various design ideas she had suggested to help complete my vision. Thank you, Rael – for sharing your design talent with me and taking a huge load of stress off my shoulders!

From working with Rael, we found that she possesses an unique skill and ability to find effective solutions for every obstacle or challenge that we came upon. Until we met and worked with Rael, our initial thought of hiring an interior designer wasn't high on our list of To Do's, when we were planning our move from our home on the coast to our new home in West Kelowna. Our initial thoughts were that interior home designers were expensive and possibly difficult to work with. To our delight we had a great working relationship with Rael. We found her very easy to work with. She was honest, genuine and very personable. From my first conversation with her on the phone, I knew she was the person for us. To our amazement, she saved us more money than it would of cost us if we did the designing and planning ourselves. (with her creative ideas, budget solutions and her contractor discounts with numerous companies).

I was nervous about having a decorator in my home. Rael was so kind and helpful choosing colours and suggesting changes that would work with our existing things. Looks great thank you!

We engaged Rael to help with a major renovation to our lakefront home. She listened to our ideas and provided beautiful coulor choices as well as expert design advice that saved us both money and time and money.

Rael's passion for renovating and design is evident within minutes of speaking to her. She turned my drab, dark, old fashioned kitchen into my dream space. I love it so much and so does anyone who has seen it. It couldn't have turned out better and she exceeded expectations on every level. I would recommend Rael for any job, big or small.

Raelistic was the best call we could have made when we bought out new house. Let me start by saying Rael was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail along with her understanding of what we were trying to achieve was spot on! What we really loved about Rael was her enthusiasm! Pulling together the different pieces, her face would just light up! We would not hesitate to refer her to our friends and colleagues.

Don Sugimoto

Thank you Rael for refreshing and updating our home. Your talent for colour selection helped brighten our walls and floors and really opened up our living space! We really appreciated that you listened to what we were hoping to achieve and directed us in a friendly, professional manner, stretching our ideas and incorporating new design ideas. We would highly recommend her for your next home project. Don and Dorothy

We had the pleasure of having Rael design the colours for our new home. With having a custom built home it was hard to even imagine what colours to even start with. But Rael not only helped us choose what went best for us but what went best in our whole home. Right from the start Rael choose examples from the exterior to the interior that not only were beautiful but were colours that suited our tastes and lifestyle. Now we have an amazing home thanks to a very talented designer. Thank you Rael!!

Marie Federico

We were extremely happy with Rael. We found her to be very professional, talented and easy and pleasant to work with. She certainly knows her business. We highly recommend her. Thank you Rael.

Cheryl Knight

I booked Rael for a consultation to help choose new paint colours for the interior of our house. Rael not only supplied new colours to update our house, she was also a wealth of information to bring all the elements together of previous updates to create one look. She suggested resources that are cost effective and that can be done by ourselves. Rael is enthusiastic and communicates extremely well. I highly recommend her and am excited to see our new look!

Carla Woods

Rael helped me with my Reno when I really needed some ideas for color selections. She is such a talented designer and her eye for color is amazing! She took my 90’s kitchen and living room and transformed them into a modern look with just color! Her understanding and patience made the whole process so incredibly easy. She was my guiding light when I was not sure what to pick. Can’t thank her enough for her suggestions and attention to the little things even giving us suggestions for Quartz countertops and decorating. I would highly recommend Rael!

Pam Cote

Rael was amazing at visualizing what I was looking for. She has great taste and style and is a pleasure to work with. She would make any project she worked on a masterpiece. Many thanks!

Vanessa Johnson

We recently met with Rael to get some ideas on painting the exterior of our house. Rael was very helpful, confidant in her recommendations while also listening to our ideas. She took into account the era of the house, the neighbourhood and the landscape and then gave great recommendations of colours for all surfaces (siding, wood features, windows, chimney). She also provided a very detailed description of ideas and supplies needed for our project. We will be commencing this soon and can’t wait to see how it turns out! Thanks Rael!
