Isabey Interiors is an award-winning design company founded in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada where our headquarters operates. We specialize in both residential and commercial designs. That is what we do, but not who we are. We are a team of people who care about our projects. We approach each design with the same objective – to ensure our clients’ needs are met, and to do what we can to make it an enjoyable process. Your project should reflect your needs and who you are – that is what will make you fall in love with your space.
There are notable differences in working with Isabey Interiors. You will work with more than one designer on a renovation project or new home build. The entire process is considered at the very beginning – landscape design, furniture planning and more. This will provide you with the best result for your project.
