Our Philosophy

At MJ House of Design, we believe that a home should be more than just a place to live—it should tell a story, evoke emotions, and shape the way we experience everyday life. Our approach is rooted in the idea that interiors should be both functional and deeply personal, blending timeless aesthetics with thoughtful details that create warmth and character. We embrace color, texture, and contrast to craft spaces that feel inviting, never sterile. Unlike trends that come and go, our designs focus on longevity, authenticity, and curated elements that make a space feel lived-in and loved.

We specialize in transforming blank spaces into vibrant, cozy, and personality-filled environments, whether it’s a private home or a short-term rental designed to attract guests. Our philosophy goes beyond decoration—we shape interiors that enhance mood, encourage connection, and reflect the identity of those who inhabit them.

Here’s what to expect from the design process!

UNDERSTANDING YOUR VISION

Our process begins with a discovery call, where we take the time to understand your vision, goals, and aesthetic preferences. This conversation helps us align with your expectations, discuss initial ideas, and determine how we can bring your dream space to life. Whether it’s a simple refresh or a complete transformation, this step ensures we’re on the same page before moving forward.

EXPERT GUIDANCE & SPACE ASSESSMENT

To provide professional, tailored recommendations, we conduct an on-site consultation for a standard fee of $150. During this visit, we assess your space, take precise measurements, and offer expert design insights that help you visualize the possibilities. This consultation allows us to address any challenges and ensure that every design decision is both functional and aesthetically compelling.

CUSTOM DESIGN & 3D VISUALIZATION

Once we have a clear direction, we move into the custom design phase, where we craft a detailed plan for your space. This includes 2D drawings and 3D models that bring your vision to life, allowing you to see exactly how the design will look before implementation. We refine the details, ensuring the layout, materials, and aesthetics align seamlessly with your preferences.

BRINGING YOUR VISION TO LIFE

With the design finalized, we move into the implementation phase, where we coordinate and oversee every detail of the project to ensure it aligns perfectly with the approved design. From managing installations to supervising contractors and handling final styling touches, we make sure the process is seamless and stress-free. This phase brings your vision to life, delivering a beautifully curated and functional space.

FAQs

What is the cost of a consultation?

Our initial discovery call is completely free, allowing us to understand your vision, discuss your needs, and determine how we can best help bring your space to life. If an on-site consultation is required, we offer it at a flat rate of $150, which includes a detailed space assessment, expert design guidance, precise measurements, and tailored recommendations. This ensures you receive professional insights before committing to the full project, helping you make informed design decisions with confidence.

Can you help with Airbnb or short-term rental (STR) setups?

Absolutely! We specialize in turning bland, generic rentals into vibrant, personality-filled spaces that attract more bookings and higher nightly rates. Unlike the typical all-neutral Airbnb, we infuse color, texture, and statement design elements to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a true home away from home. From curated furniture and bold accent walls to thoughtfully selected decor and guest-ready essentials, we ensure every detail enhances the guest experience. Our goal is to make your property stand out from competitors, drive higher occupancy rates, and boost your rental income effortlessly.

How long does the design process typically take?

Project timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of the work. A simple accent wall installation can be completed within 1-3 days, while a short-term rental setup typically takes 1-2 weeks. For full-room transformations that involve custom design, sourcing furniture, and detailed execution, the timeline can range from 2-4 weeks. Larger-scale projects may take longer, but we always provide a clear schedule upfront to ensure a smooth and efficient process. Our goal is to deliver high-quality results while minimizing disruptions, ensuring your space is ready as quickly as possible.

What areas do you serve?

We proudly serve clients across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Hamilton, and the Niagara Region, bringing thoughtfully designed spaces to homes, short-term rentals, and commercial properties. Whether you’re in Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, or surrounding areas, we are ready to transform your space with expert design solutions. For projects outside these regions, we assess the complexity and scale to determine feasibility—when possible, we are happy to take on projects anywhere in Canada!

Can I hire you just for design and do the execution myself?

Yes! We offer design-only packages for clients who prefer to handle execution themselves. This includes custom mood boards, 2D layouts, 3D renderings, and curated furniture and decor selections tailored to your space and budget. We provide a clear design roadmap, ensuring you have all the details needed to bring your vision to life at your own pace. Whether you’re sourcing materials yourself or working with contractors, our design plans serve as a guiding blueprint to help you achieve a professionally designed space without the full-service commitment.
