We are proudly based in Toronto, Ontario, at the heart of Canada’s design and cultural scene. Over the years, our portfolio has grown to include projects across Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe, reflecting an international reputation built on trust, taste, and timeless craftsmanship. From city penthouses to coastal retreats, our design team travels globally to bring each client’s vision to life — offering both in-person and virtual consultations to ensure a seamless experience, no matter where in the world you call home.

Our studio specializes in luxury residential, commercial, and hospitality design — from full-scale home renovations and new builds to boutique offices, showrooms, and bespoke retail environments. Whether it’s a serene modern villa, a timeless heritage restoration, or a contemporary penthouse, every project is handled with the same dedication to precision, artistry, and storytelling. We collaborate closely with architects, builders, and artisans to ensure every detail — from structure to finish — reflects our client’s vision and lifestyle.

Each project begins with a personal consultation, where we take the time to understand your goals, style, and the way you live. From there, our team develops a tailored design concept, complete with detailed plans, finishes, and furnishings curated specifically for your space. Throughout the process, we manage every stage ensuring a flawless, full-service experience. Our approach is collaborative yet highly curated, blending your vision with our expertise to create something truly exceptional.

Yes. For clients based outside of Ontario or abroad, we offer virtual design consultations and remote project management. This service allows us to collaborate seamlessly with clients anywhere in the world — providing mood boards, layout plans, sourcing guidance, and digital presentations that mirror the experience of working with us in person. Whether your project is in Toronto or Tuscany, our goal remains the same: to deliver a sophisticated, stress-free design journey that exceeds expectations.

Due to high demand and an active international client roster, we recommend booking your consultation at least several weeks in advance. Our availability fluctuates seasonally, and many of our projects are scheduled months ahead. Whether you’re planning a renovation, a new build, or a single-room transformation, connecting early allows us to secure your place in our design calendar and begin developing a vision that aligns perfectly with your timeline and goals.

While JD Interiors is primarily a design studio, we work in close partnership with trusted builders, contractors, and artisans to oversee every detail of execution. Our team provides comprehensive project coordination, ensuring that design intent is carried through flawlessly from blueprint to final reveal. From millwork fabrication to custom furniture and lighting installations, we manage the process with the precision and professionalism our clients have come to expect.
