Since 2007, Joe Distefano has been redefining luxury interiors across Canada and abroad, earning a reputation as one of the most sought-after voices in contemporary design. As the founder and creative director of Interiors by Joe Distefano, Joe has built a legacy on innovation, elegance, and trust — leading a studio celebrated for its extraordinary ability to transform not only spaces, but the way people live within them.

“A well-designed home should hold your life, not just your furniture,” Joe often says. “My job is to craft emotion as much as architecture.”

Over nearly two decades, Joe has completed hundreds of projects — from full-home renovations and heritage restorations to custom estates, penthouses, and boutique commercial environments. His work spans Toronto, New York, Miami, the Bahamas, and Europe, each project driven by a deep understanding of lifestyle, luxury, and architectural integrity. Many clients return for second and third homes, while their referrals have quietly shaped a waitlist that speaks louder than any advertisement. His design philosophy is rooted in longevity: every detail considered, every room intentional, every home a true reflection of the lives it holds. “Trends fade,” he notes, “but atmosphere is forever.”

Joe’s influence, however, extends far beyond the walls he designs. A philanthropist at heart, he is a dedicated supporter of numerous charities, using his platform and personal resources to champion causes close to him — from health care initiatives to community-focused arts and youth programs. His annual contributions and behind-the-scenes generosity have become an integral, if understated, part of his legacy.

“If you’re fortunate enough to build beautiful things,” he believes, “you’re responsible for building opportunity too.”

A modern tastemaker, Joe has also become a style fixture on social media. His daily outfit posts, travel diaries, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into project reveals have earned him a devoted audience and positioned him as a cultural figure in his own right. Whether walking a job site in tailored separates or documenting European resort stays with an editor’s eye, Joe embodies a lifestyle that fuses design, fashion, and experience — inspiring audiences well beyond his clientele.

“Style isn’t just about labels,” he says. “It’s about how you move through the world.”

Today, Interiors by Joe Distefano is a full-service firm designing extraordinary interiors, exteriors, and commercial environments around the globe. From coastal retreats and modern villas to storied estate properties, each project reflects Joe’s signature composition of serenity, structure, and soul. Celebrated in editorial features and respected within the industry, he continues to mentor emerging designers while elevating the broader dialogue around luxury living.

Guided by the belief that great design is both personal and powerful, Joe Distefano remains a defining figure in modern luxury — creating spaces, stories, and standards that endure.
