Interior Decorating That Feels Personal — Because It Is
Hi, I’m April — and honestly, I’ve never been able to walk into a space without noticing the beautifully decorated interiors, the fine details of millwork, or the way I feel when I sit in a comfortable chair. I also can’t help myself when I start to reimagine all the possibilities of how and what I would do to redecorate.
It doesn’t matter if I’m at my house, a hotel, a local café, or wandering through a furniture decor center, my brain just turns on. I start noticing how things are built, where the light hits, what materials they used, how the space flows.
Design has always lived in me. It’s not just my career, it’s how I move through the world. Even when I travel or go for nature walks, I catch myself admiring building details, intricate cravings, the bark on a tree or hues of colour in a landscape.
I love problem-solving. I love helping people create a space that feels like their own, even if they can’t quite describe what “their own” means yet.
My path to starting April Lee Interiors has been a long one: a slow, steady build of experience, training, and self-discovery. I’ve worked in all kinds of design-related roles for nearly three decades: cabinetry, flooring, lighting, paint, material selection, renovation support, project planning — the list goes on. But no matter where I worked or what title I held, I always came back to the same question: How can I make this space feel good for someone?
That’s what this business is built on.
That’s where I come in. I ask questions. I listen. I help the client to navigate design decisions throughout the process. Then I take all of it, their personality, their goals, their lifestyle, and I help shape it into a space that supports them and tells their story.
Because your home should feel like a reflection of you, not just where you are today, but where you’re going.
This isn’t just what I do. It’s who I am.
And if you’re looking for someone who sees you, hears you, and can help you bring your next chapter to life, I’d love to work together.
Warmly,
April
From small renovations to full-home transformations
Whether you’re just looking to rework your living room layout, or you’re knee-deep in a custom new build, I’m here to help you confidently navigate the decisions ahead.
I’ve worked with hundreds of clients, builders, and designers over the years, helping with:
Full material selections for new builds
Layouts for presentation centers and model homes
Specialty projects like Conestoga Mall’s public restrooms (2010) and Fanshawe College’s Student Union (2003)
Custom cabinetry, lighting, furniture placement, space planning, color palettes, and more
More than a decorator — a partner in the process
Here’s what I focus on:
Keeping you informed without overwhelming you
Mindful by Design
Sustainable design isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being intentional.
Whenever possible, I aim to include elements that are better for both the environment and the people who live in the space.
If the design, budget, and client’s style allows, I love incorporating:
