Kander Design Inc. has been quietly shaping thoughtful, livable homes and small commercial spaces in the Vancouver area for over 15 years, and they’re the kind of design firm you tell a friend about. They specialise in residential renovations from compact 600 sq ft Kitsilano condos to 3,000 sq ft West Vancouver homes, blending practical layouts with a warm, contemporary aesthetic. What sets them apart is a focus on real-world performance: clever storage, durable finishes, and room plans that actually match how people live.

Their services cover full-scope interior design, colour and material selection, lighting plans, millwork drawings, and on-site project coordination. Recent projects include a 1,200 sq ft family kitchen and living-room reconfiguration using locally milled Douglas fir cabinetry, a basement suite conversion with built-in acoustical insulation, and a boutique office fit-out featuring bespoke reception millwork and LED task lighting. They work with trusted vendors such as Bloom Kitchens, Urban Tile Co., and local upholsterers, and they prepare detailed budgets and procurement lists so clients know exactly what to expect.

Kander Design’s process is practical and personable. The principal designer leads a small team of certified interior designers and technologists who handle space planning, finish schedules, and site meetings. Design begins with a two-hour in-home consultation and a measured survey, followed by concept boards, 3D renderings, and a final package of drawings suitable for permitting and contractor bidding. They emphasize clear timelines, weekly site updates, and hands-on problem solving when unexpected issues arise.

Neighbours choose Kander Design because they value designers who listen, show up on time, and keep projects on budget. Whether you want to refresh a single room or remodel an entire house, Kander offers local knowledge, practical solutions, and a design you’ll actually enjoy living with. Phone: 604-889-5443.
