Dream Catcher

April 2015, By Nicole Langelier.

One of the greatest things about being an interior designer and stylist is that it allows me to live many lives. I have the honour and privilege of living vicariously through my many different clients, and I get to enjoy the fruits of all their quirks and varied styles.

Design, of course, is subjective – you know what you find beautiful – you know what you like and what excites you – but you may not be able to create it or re-create it. I like to think that I provide the tools – I am a design translator – I fill in the gaps – read between the lines – because beauty is personal and design is a language, one that not everyone speaks fluently. It is a great joy to be a part of the creation of a dream, and to have the pleasure of enjoying so many different styles. It’s like being an actress playing different rolls, wearing different hats.

Like everyone, I have my own style – my own taste. That style is constantly evolving and morphing as trends and styles change and grow – as I grow personally and have experiences that influence how I style and dress my home. But of course you can’t have it all at once – all together in one space.

I want to say thank you to my clients for allowing me to have it all. By living through your hopes and dreams and helping to make those dreams a reality, I do get to have it all. Thank you for sharing your private worlds with me, thank you for trusting me to help make your dreams come true.
