Renovation
Design that supports construction—and elevates your lifestyle.
At Orchid Interiors, we don’t just decorate around a renovation—we design through it. Whether you’re updating a kitchen in Orillia, refreshing a bathroom in Barrie, or finishing a basement in Bradford, we help you bridge the gap between construction and cohesive design.
From pre-reno planning to post-build styling, we’re with you every step of the way—working alongside your contractor and trades to ensure every finish, fixture, and furniture piece aligns with your goals. No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just a beautifully executed renovation that feels just right.
Our Renovation Process
1. Pre-Renovation Planning
This is where vision meets structure. Before any demolition begins, we guide you through:
- Design & Finish Boards – Clear, cohesive selections for cabinetry, flooring, tile, countertops, and hardware that align with your goals and budget.
- Material & Color Specs – We recommend selections that work with your home’s layout and Ontario’s climate (yes—even the winter slush gets considered).
- Budget Transparency – You get a clear, line-by-line estimate that covers everything from grout to trim profiles—so you can make confident decisions before a single wall comes down.
2. On-Site Coordination with Contractors & Trades
- This is where communication saves time, money, and headaches.
- We schedule kickoff meetings with your GC and all relevant trades to review the style boards, plans, and timelines.
- We check in at key construction milestones (pre-tiling, pre-paint, etc.) to make sure everything is being executed to plan.
- We provide technical drawings for trades—elevations, lighting diagrams, plumbing specs—so everyone is working from the same blueprint.
3. Post-Reno Styling & Furnishing
This is where the space comes alive. Once construction wraps up, we step in to furnish and style your renovated home:
- Layout & Placement – From floating vanities to kitchen islands, we layer in furniture, lighting, and soft furnishings that enhance your home’s new features.
- Textile Selection – We source durable, easy-to-maintain fabrics, rugs, and window treatments that bring warmth and balance to the room.
- Lighting Final Touches – We adjust pendants, verify dimmers, and add accents that make those renovation investments shine.
4. Budget Optimization & Value Engineering
We believe great design doesn’t have to mean overspending.
- Cost-Smart Swaps – If we need to pivot, we’ll suggest alternative materials that achieve the same look for less.
- Repurpose What You Have – When it makes sense, we’ll reuse and refresh existing pieces—like repainting a vanity or reusing cabinet boxes.
- Ongoing Budget Tracking – We keep you informed with real-time updates, so you stay in control of your investment at every stage.
5. Final Walkthrough & Delivery
- Hands-On Oversight – We’re on-site during final installations, ensuring that every detail is executed exactly as planned.
- Last Looks – We review the space together, handle any last tweaks, and leave you with a space that’s fully styled and move-in ready.
- Ongoing Support – Need help adjusting a rug placement or replacing a bulb six months in? We’re still here.
