The approach

Design begins with understanding you

My training spans art, design, and Life & Wellness Coaching, giving me a deeper understanding of both spaces and the people who live in them.

The coaching side is what taught me to ask the right questions and listen properly. So I look beyond how a room looks, to understand how it needs to work, feel, and support the person living there.

The result is a home shaped around you, not a showroom or a passing trend.

Home Consultation / Colour Consultation by MAD Design Interiors

Home Consultation / Colour Consultation

Two separate consultations. A home consultation gives you direction for the space. A colour consultation gives you the palette. Take one, or take both together.

Space Planning & Custom Design Solutions

Space planning solves how a room works, not how it looks. Where nothing off the shelf fits, I design the piece that does.

Planning & execution

Plan first. Build with confidence.

A renovation is many connected decisions. A beautiful result begins with a clear plan made before construction starts — not on site, under pressure.

I coordinate the layout, cabinetry, finishes, lighting, fixtures, and furnishings so every element works together — which gives you clarity with your contractor and far fewer rushed decisions along the way.

Philosophy

Your home is part of your well-being — it should support your life and feel like yours.

What you already own

We don't have to start from scratch

Your home may already hold furniture, art, or pieces that deserve to stay part of your story.

Wherever it makes sense, I work with what you have, find what's missing, and add new pieces with intention — so the result feels collected and personal, not bought all at once.

“We absolutely love our kitchen! Madona was so easy to collaborate with and always open to my input on design. It turned out better than we could’ve possibly imagined. Thank you, Madona!”
Julianne Inglis
“Working with Madona was fabulous! She combines her superb artistic vision with a gentle approach, which fully takes into consideration her client's preferences and needs. It was a pleasure having Madona design our new kitchen and having her expert guidance in terms of the many options available to us, from layout, countertops, flooring, cabinetry, paint and furniture. Highly recommend!!”
Martine Durier-Copp
“Amazing work from Madona. A professional approach, she understood what we wanted and delivered the perfect layout for our open concept. From the planning to the end of the project, she provided us with insightful recommendation and ensured the cohesion of the entire project. I highly recommend her for any remodel project.”
Ian-Éric Foisy
“Had a wonderful time working with Madona on our bathroom renovation. She was very attentive and helped guide us through the whole process. She also communicated directly with the contractor which streamlined that side of the process for us. In the end we ended up with the bathroom of our dreams.”
Justin Patriquin
“I recently listed a property at 36 Gail Avenue that was designed and furnished by Mad Design Interior, and WOW—what a transformation! The staging was so incredible that both the buyers and the other agent wanted to buy the furniture. Madona was truly born to be a designer. She has an amazing eye for detail and knows exactly how to bring out the best in any space. I’ll definitely be using Mad Design again and highly recommend them!”
Jordan Greige
“Madona did an outsanding job designing our showroom. She is professional and outstanding in communicating. She will go above and beyond to make sure the job is done with excellence. I highly recommend Mad Design.”

Design notes

Before we begin

What is the difference between a consultation and a full home design service?
A consultation is one focused session — I look at the space and give you clear direction you can act on yourself. A full design service carries that direction all the way through layouts, selections, sourcing, and the build.
Can you help if I am building a new home?
Yes, and the earlier the better. Layout, storage, and lighting are far cheaper to get right on paper than after framing.
Can you help with renovations?
Yes. I plan the layout, finishes, and selections before demolition, then coordinate your contractor so the build follows the plan.
Can I hire you for just one room?
Yes. A single room is a common starting point — most often a kitchen, living room, or primary bedroom.
Do you help with furniture and accessories?
Yes. Furniture, rugs, lighting, window coverings, and the finishing accessories are all part of what I source and place.
Do you provide kitchen and bathroom design?
Yes. Both, and often together, so the finishes and the budget stay coordinated.
Can you work with items I already own?
Yes. I start with the pieces that already matter to you and fill the gaps, so the home still feels like yours.
Do you source and purchase furniture for clients?
I can source the pieces and coordinate ordering and delivery, or simply give you the list to buy yourself — whichever you prefer.
How are your design services priced?
It depends on the size and scope of the project. After our first conversation I give you a clear quote, so you know what you are committing to before anything starts.
What areas do you serve?
Halifax and the broader HRM, including Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville, and Hammonds Plains.
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes. For clients outside Halifax, or where it is simply easier, we can do the consultation remotely and work from photos, measurements, and a video walk-through.
How do I get started?
Call or email me and tell me a little about your home and what you would like to change. We will start with a conversation about where it makes most sense to begin.
