Lux Design Review

I couldn't be more thrilled with my very own personal decorator/designer Negar Aghebati from Lux Design Toronto.

After downsizing to a smaller condominium I needed help in reconfiguring, designing, budgeting and sourcing the new and existing furniture, lighting and accessories for my new unit.

I had read good reviews about the company and made an appointment to discuss my plans.
To my good fortune, Negar Aghebati, a very talented, helpful, patient, artistic and knowledgeable young designer was assigned to me.

After a short presentation and a personal visit to my condo she came up a scaled down artistic detailed drawing of a new layout for my furniture and accessories showing where everything that I previously owned would fit and several new design ideas that would ensure the very classy and high end look I wished to achieve within my prediscussed budget.

She sourced all the furniture, lighting, wallpapers, paint colours and accessories and always made herself available for questions and problem solving.

In short, Negar went far beyond the call of duty for me, came in on time and on budget and made me the very proud owner of a now enviably exquisitely designed, but practical, functional and very comfy condo!

In truth I have never had such a rewarding experience working with any other professional in any field as I have enjoyed working with Negar...my designer extraordinaire.

The LUX design team did a fantastic job transforming our townhome!

I recently moved into a townhome in Trinity Bellwoods region with a challenging layout and so decided to enlist a design firm to help make it my home. After doing a significant amount of research and asking around I quickly made the decision to go with LUX Design. The process started by having an initial consulation by our assigned designer Dorota she was amazing! I immediately connected with her, her ideas and got excited about what her and the team could do for us. After the consultation I was invited to the LUX office for a design presentation. Our designer and the LUX team put together a beautiful concept package that checked off everything I had hoped to achieve in our space so I gave them the keys and the green light to make it happen.

My project included a feature built-in media unit, wallpaper, art and lighting installed and the furniture. Even when there were a few stumbling blocks such as a side table that came in damaged, LUX exchanged it with no questions asked and solved any other issues that came up. Throughout the process I felt at ease that things were being taken care of so that I could focus on my work as well as travel.

Lux Design in Toronto is the top of the home renovation business. Home renovation and design in Toronto are not for the inexperienced, nor are these undertaking inexpensive by any means. Lux charges top dollar for their services, but in this case you truly get what you pay for.

The money I invested in the services and workmanship I received from Lux made me a 100% profit when I sold the condo following the work performed by Lux Design. The project was finished on time and any problems that occured, as they will in any renovation project were dealt with quickly, efficiently and fairly by the company.

Top marks for both my designer, Marcella, and Nazneen at the Toronto office for their help and support throughout the project.

I do not have enough great things to say about LUX Design and my designer, Negar. I moved out of my house to a condo in April and hired LUX to essentially start from scratch at my new condo. I met Negar at the condo before I moved in and I am thrilled to say that she demonstrated incredible passion, dedication and professionalism in her role. I truly felt that she genuinely cared about what and how my new home would be furnished and was so detailed oriented that it was like she was designing her own home. I explained to Negar and the LUX team that I wanted to be involved with the design but did not want to be involved in implementation. They were very accommodating to my ask. From start to finish, Negar and LUX were responsive to my questions, suggested exceptional recommendations for furniture and accessories (great quality) and when the time came for delivery, I gave Negar a key and did not even have to be home for the final set up. I walked into my condo after work one day and was so impressed with the final "reveal". Negar worked incredibly hard and over evenings and weekends to ensure every detail was perfect. Her excellent taste and dedication was able to shine through when I saw the final product. My condo is a place that I truly love coming home to and would not change a thing. I thank Negar and the LUX team for making my condo a wonderful and welcoming place. Highly recommend.

Neha and the design team at Lux are an incredible design firm that we have worked with a couple of times over the last 5 years. They understand what the client wants and the final product always surpasses our expectations. We have been extremely pleased with the choice of paint colours and furniture they have picked out for our home, as they all work and fit in perfectly! Their insight and creative design have saved us hours of time searching for the right pieces for our home.

LUX is an excellent design company, managed by Isabelle Boba and staffed by very talented people. I ve often called on the LUX team to help me design the look and feel of a new space. Unfailingly energetic, punctual, experienced, and wise in all her suggestions, Isabelle and her design team have an eye is second to none. Whenever I call on LUX, they listen to my plans, then measure, calculate and sketch to create a beautiful design plan. I m honestly always thrilled with the result. Highly recommended.

My experience with Lux and particularly with my designer Lisa, has been superb! She understood my style, worked exactly within my budget and delivered with quality pieces. I'm quite pleased with the customer service and I look forward to trusting Lux Design again to handle my future design projects.

Thanks again for great service!

We were unsure of how to proceed with our interior design project but Nazneen was able to guide us with the right information. (She genuinely consulted us with advise that would benefit our company)

Our circumstances changed at the funeral home and the timeline to do our project moved up suddenly. Nazneen and the designer Baraa took an emergency meeting with me and reassured me that they would do their best to accommodate us.

I am excited to work with this professional interior design firm and I will post pictures once our project is completed.

Thank you Nazneen and Baraa.

If you are looking for help in decorating your home don't hesitate to contact LUX Design! They have been my go to interior design company in Toronto for the past 5 years. All the staff are very professional and I felt very comfortable working with my designer and their team. They listened to what I wanted and made sure to be available if I had new ideas and they always updated me on the progress of the project. My favourite thing about this company is definitely their distinct modern style. It feels very current & trendy and I enjoy coming home every day to spend time with all my new beautiful furniture. They also offer a great (affordable!) package for new condo home owners. Condos are very hard to design for since they are small but LUX Design used my space to the fullest in ways I never thought was possible. I'm definitely looking forward to working with them again.

Great service! Sharifa and the team were very attentive and the final condo design continues to amaze all the guests who visit.

After hiring LUX to design my husbands restaurant patio in Mississauga, we decided to enlist LUX for our new town home.
We are both working professionals with an appreciation for style but are too busy to pull a design together so we decided to place all of our trust in LUX. We hired them to furnish our new town home top-to-bottom, and we are SO happy with the results! We had some idea of what we were looking for but we would never be able to pull together like our interior designer did. We asked for a mix of brass accents and some glitz as well and we love all the pieces we got even watching it all come together was a treat. All we had to do was sit back and watch as the design and delivery team brought pieces to our home, assemble and arrange them!! I would definitely recommend their services.

I thought everything was done in a timely manner, and in the proper order, with superior customer service coming from my designer (Paula), to the Accounting Manager (Barb), to the Operations Manager (Christine). I loved the design my designer created for me and all the furniture pieces she chose for my condo. She really brought every space together in a way I couldn t do by myself. I also thought the whole process was rather smooth and stress-free, I was expecting the worst, but it never came to that at all. All the deliveries were made as scheduled, my designer s people always showed up when she said they would. I also thought my designer s delivery and installation people had superb technique, and they were so polite and professional. When the family from Gavinchi installed drapes for me, they were so delicate in their work. While Wai was installing wallpaper for me, he noticed one batch of wallpaper was slightly different colour, so he got a new roll for me to match the original colour. When I scuffed up the wall paint, my designer asked Wai to fix it and he said no problem. When Val delivered all my furniture, everything was delivered and assembled without incident, and he even kindly showed me how to open and close my new sofa bed properly. Some processes did take a bit longer than expected (delivery of a few pieces of furniture), but that s totally understandable as personal circumstances popped up (on both our parts - me and my designer, e.g., vacations, having to go out of the country), and other uncontrollable circumstances (e.g., items not in stock). But what I appreciate is the communication, understanding and expert decision-making skills I received from my designer. The whole thing was not cheap, but I will always pay for high quality service and products, and expert judgment for design and project management. I believe I got this from my designer and Lux. My designer was Paula, she is top-notch, she really knows what she is doing, and I think she is just excellent.

My husband and I needed the service of a designer to furnish our condo. As we downsized from our house, we needed to buy new furniture that was suitable for a condo rather than a house. We chose Lux Design as they received many positive Homestar reviews, were featured in trade magazines and Nazneen, the affable office manager, indicated that they were willing to meet our tight timeline. Negar Aghebati was assigned to us as our designer. It was totally a 10/10 experience.

Efficient : Negar gets things done. Period. I needed something, she would find the items for me quickly.

Communication: Wow. Negar deserves bonus point in this area. However I communicated with her by email, phone calls, text, or Whatsapp, she responded to me quickly. Sometimes we would be talking past 11pm to work out ideas.

Professionalism: Negar is very dedicated to her work that it shows. She showed up on time. Several times she would just pop by if she was in the area in order to work out any issues . She was also calm and patient.

Service: Every project have things do go wrong and the hallmark of truly good service is how you fix the problems when they occur. I received one dining chair that was defective. Negar already ordered a replacement before I asked her to.

Result :The place looks great. My husband and I love it. We couldn't have done this without Negar.
Highly recommended.

I hired LUX Design last year to assist with a full renovation of a new house that I purchased. Having never worked with a designer I had no idea what to expect with such a large project, and wanted everything to be perfect. When I approached LUX they walked me through how the process would work, and how they would handle everything from A to Z including planning of the renovation, picking the finishes, furniture and materials and overseeing everything on my behalf. I was skeptical of the finished product since I had some very specific requests like integrating LED colour lighting through the whole home, and wanting a very modern design. LUX put together a design for me that was really unique and I felt they understood exactly what I was going for. As part of my package I received full colour renderings that were invaluable in helping me see past the removal of existing walls, gutting of my outdated kitchen and bathroom and visualizing the addition of closets and new powder room.
When I signed off on the design, LUX essentially took a set of keys from me and coordinated all the work, oversaw work by their contractors on site, looked after having things delivered and set up, and took care of any issues that arose (i.e., fixtures arriving damaged from suppliers, having to build my custom bar on site since prefab would have been too big to get up the stairs, an off coloured countertop (which they replaced within 3 days with no questions asked!)). While the unexpected issues were stressful, LUX proved that they are experts in what they do by making the right decisions and handling everything very quickly for me. The furniture selected was exactly what I was looking for and they seemed to be ahead of the market trends, sourcing a statement light fixture for me that was not yet on the market. To this day, everyone that comes to visit comments on how much they love the design. I am so happy with the work that LUX did for me, I pass along their name constantly to friends and family, and I am happy to put their name on my project.

LUX Design's services and Negar's taste were priceless as a moved from a large home to a Downtown Toronto condo. Negar helped me make excellent decisions and helped me create a space that was stylish, comfortable, and functional. Her commitment, dedication, and availability were unparalleled. It's rare that a home feels complete but working with LUX Design made that possible. I would highly recommend there services to anyone who appreciates fine taste and living but might be too busy to DIY.

Isabelle and the Lux team provided very personalized and expert service for my new Condo project. Their choices from painting to furniture to accents transformed my boring builder finished condo into a sleek, modern living space. All at very reasonable cost. Thank you team Lux! Highly recommended. Matt Allan, Fort York, Toronto

Our designer, Erin English, and the team at LUX Design did an outstanding job with our downtown penthouse. Erin, saw the project through with her great taste and keen eye for detail; and brought in skilled, professional contractors and vendors to carry out our renovation. We re thrilled with the results. Kudos to Erin and the entire LUX team for their great work.

We had a fantastic experience with Nimrah Syed as our designer. We contracted for the condo-quickie package and initially wanted a burnt-orange sectional plus a mid-century modern theme as our starting point.

At our presentation meeting, Nimrah showed us an incredible blue fabric for our sectional, (a colour we NEVER considered) and paired it with the most amazing, bold, navy and silver wallpaper. We were sold immediately.

The bedrooms are now cozy and modern and really reflect our mid-century aesthetic without getting too Kitschy .

Nimrah was able to bring in our original colour scheme by choosing orange-cushion dining chairs and a beautiful olive side chair. Also, we were able to incorporate all of our existing accessories as the colours worked so well.

Nimrah was wonderful to work with - so nice and attentive and responsive to our likes and dislikes. When something didn t work, she sent it back. A big shout out to Marie and her movers and installers. It was fun having them around.

I have to say something about the quality of finishes they gave us - a gorgeous and durable fabric on our couch, a bold wallpaper we both covet, a beautiful rug that responds to our robot vacuum, the stunning blinds, the headboards on our beds...the bed furnishings...the kitchen light fixture...Thank you Nimrah, for everything..You are THE BEST...

We hope to do more work with Lux in the future.

We recently hired Lux design to help us renovate and furnish our new home. When we moved in, the albeit modern and fairly new home was beautiful, but it felt like it needed a few additional touches like closet organizers and a built in office area to make it fully functional for us. In addition to furniture, we also enlisted Lux to design and install window treatments and light fixtures.

After the initial call with Nazneen and reviewing Lux s portfolio online we were excited to book a consultation with one of their designers. Catalina was assigned to us and we could not have been happier! She listened to our ideas then came forward with her own during the consultation. A few weeks later we were invited in for a presentation at their office. There were a few revisions to some of the furniture items however we went with almost everything!

We are now fully moved in and couldn t be happier to come home every day to our beautiful home! It is functional and our guests can't t stop complimenting us on the details and overall feel of the spaces. Thank you Lux and Catalina for making this process exciting and overall a great experience!

I was thinking about redecorating my entire condo but as a busy working professional, I was not able to spend the time needed to re-design and furnish the unit. I was looking for an interior design company for a long time till I found Lux Design through Google , after reading their reviews I called them and noticed Their Condo Quickie package offers everything that I was looking for in the space including paint colours, furniture selection, lighting and accessories throughout. My Designer Ashley developed a design that was personalized and very functional. The process was easy and the designers were able to work around my busy schedule,My designer was wonderful to work with, as she listened to my needs and came up with great ideas to update my space. The overall design experience was great, and I love the new look and feel of my condo. Ashley's design selection of the furnishings and artwork really added energy to my space! I am happy that I chose LUX for my project and thank you Ashley!

LUX Design helped our family fully renovate our new home. We initially fell in love with the homes location in the west end and felt that it had great bones but was in need of a complete do-over. Our designer Renee took charge and led us through the daunting process of renovating 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. A few weeks after meeting Renee at our home for the consultation we were invited into the office and were presented a design book customized for our home. It included sketches, furniture selections, plans and finishes. We loved all of the finishes and fixtures that were chosen and the new design took our house from 90s blah to modern fabulous! LUX handled project management for us and monitored the workers on site each week. I loved not having to babysit anyone! We ran into some delays in the project due to things hidden inside the walls (old electrical mostly) but LUX took charge and handled the issues that came up professionally and kept us in the loop the whole time. Our home ended up in a magazine too! We would work with Lux Design again and would refer them to anyone looking for a great design firm.

If you are looking for an exceptional designer who has great taste and is reliable, Isabelle is great. If you tell her one thing she magically reads your mind and come up with an idea that goes beyond your imagination. We had a challenging space for someone to work with and she turned the space into the coziest home for us. I would highly recomend her to anyone!!!!

Lux helped me with a project in my Victorian house. The design suggestions perfectly tied into the rest of the house, which underwent a major renovation when I first moved in. I liked their ability to build on the look that I initially created. But most importantly - and I can't stress this enough - they were accurate on price. We've all had exposure to people who want the job and are willing to tell you they can do it for your budget, when that may not be the case. Lux was totally up front and honest about what was involved and how much it would cost. Understanding the limitations of my budget helped me make the right decisions on this project. Lux explained the real costs so that I could make my budget work.

I moved into a new condo with no idea how to decorate the space; it was compact and had concrete walls. Negar from Lux took it all in stride and put together a beautiful place for me. I get compliments on the decor all the time and I absolutely love my new place.

Lead designer Negar and the rest of the team were exceptional to work with. Glad we made the decision to go with them for all our Reno work and designs

I hired LUX to help me design my new condo downtown. I was downsizing from a house and quite confused about how to use the smaller space without feeling cramped and cluttered.
LUX suggested their condo quickie package, which is their all in one design package that seemed perfect for what I needed. I got a floor plan, furniture options and my designer picked art and accents for me and I LOVED the look of the design. I couldn t believe how spacious my condo felt after everything was delivered. I loved that I didn t have to worry about anything it was all handled for me including deliveries and my designer handled it all from beginning to end. LUX worked with my picky decor preferences and hit the nail on the head with what I was looking for. All was in budget and the timeline was relatively short. I would recommend LUX to all of my friends and hope to work with them again sometime in the future. Highly recommend LUX Design!

From beginning to end Liz Hamman (our designer) was very pleasant to work with, gave great suggestions with fresh ideas, and picked out beautiful furniture for our Condo Lobby. She has been very responsive and really took the time to review the plan in detail with us and make adjustments to budget when needed. I would definitely recommend LUX Design!!!

We are long time clients of Isabelle, who is the Principal of Lux Design, and one of the most talented designers in the city. Isabelle designed our entire home and demonstrated a level of care that made us feel like she treated our home as her own.

Her dedication to our project was evident on the very first day we began our collaborative sessions to brainstorm different styles for our home. She came prepared with an incredible collage of pictures to give us an idea of different looks that we could achieve. She spent a lot of time trying to understand who we were as people and sought to solicit our opinion so that she could truly design a house that fit our family, our lifestyle, and our own tastes. No detail was too small for Isabelle.

Isabelle began with creating a new floor plan that maximized our space and increased its functionality. She was always respectful of our goals and found creative solutions where practicality, utility, and design came together.

The process of selecting flooring, paint colours, furniture, lighting, art, and accessories can be a daunting task for any individual, but Isabelle made this seem simple and effortless. She created an interior design book where multiple looks were selected for each room so that we could chose one that we felt was the best fit and even gave us the ability to mix and match certain elements together.

With any project this large, there are going to be minor challenges that come up, which most people accept. What is most important is the manner in which these challenges are resolved. Isabelle s actions and words have shown us time and time again that she is a champion for accountability. Regardless of what came up, whether it related to inventory that arrived damaged, or the need to modify an element of the design during construction, Isabelle dealt with everything professionally and ensured that we were completely satisfied.

We also had an opportunity to work closely with Nazneen, who is the Director of Operations at Lux Design. She was always available to speak with and clearly had an eye for detail as each of the invoices we received were all accurate; not an easy task considering all of the moving pieces.

Overall Isabelle s design really pushed the boundaries whenever possible and as a result, our home is absolutely stunning!! She is an extremely talented designer and exudes passion for her work. We are so happy with the design of our home and could not have done it without Isabelle and Lux Design!

I have worked with other designers before but the Condo Quickie really appealed to me. As opposed to previous experiences this was an all in one service so I didn t have to waste time coordinating different companies to get my condo designed. A month and a half after I called them, they had completed the design, ordered the furniture, had their construction crew make minor changes and set up the entire apartment.

At one point during the process, I had agreed to a bookshelf as one of the items, when it came in it had some defects to it. Right away, LUX took it back, and quickly exchanged it for a another one alleviating me from any hassles.

I will definitely be recommending them to my friends and family.

Lux design embraced My vision and wishes. Their team made my dreams come to reality while making the space functional. A+ for Experience and customer service.

Unfortunately my experience with LUX Design wasn't a great one.
It seemed as if my business was of no value to them.

Just be sure you have an incredibly high budget if you want a call back from one of their designers.

I hired Lux Designs and Negar on the "Condo Quickie" package to furnish my newly purchased condo from scratch. I was incredibly impressed by Negar from start to finish! She did an awesome job of taking my vague suggestions about what kind of style I wanted and making this into a complete, real design. She thought of every detail, from furniture to floor coverings, light fixtures, wall decorations and artwork, and all the extras. I was super pleased with the result. More than that, she has a fantastic work ethic -- I was a very fussy client and she took all of my suggestions, redoing parts of the design and finding new pieces as needed. She was available all day and late into the evening via text to discuss parts of the design. Also, when there were inevitably some small problems with some of the furniture ordering and delivery, she fixed everything personally. For example, when the last piece I ordered, a painting, was not delivered in time for my housewarming party, she went so far as to loan me a painting so I wouldn't have an empty wall for the party! All in all I was very happy with Negar's work and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Although the Lux team often handles the complete interior design, renovation and furnishing of clients homes, I asked Negar to take on a more limited project of improving my living room and master bedroom by adding some new furniture and colors. She transformed a nice but rather simple living room into one that now gets wows from visitors and that makes me happy every time I see it. I highly recommend Lux to everyone!
