As we wrap up another year, we want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and trust. It’s been a pleasure working on projects that inspire and bring joy, and we’re so grateful for our amazing clients, collaborators, and community.

May you find joy this holiday season, Merry Christmas 🎄

In our West Springs renovation, we embraced the existing column that sits between the kitchen, living, and dining areas. By cladding it in rich walnut slats and adding integrated shelves with puck lighting, we’ve created a functional and stylish focal point. The shelves not only serve as a space for display, but the soft lighting highlights each object, bringing a warm, inviting glow to the entire room.

As we look ahead to 2025, we predict several materials will emerge as key trends in interior design.

Not only will they enhance aesthetics but also reflect a growing focus on sustainability, functionality, and timeless appeal.

From large format stone surfaces to natural warm stone, brown, and bold metal accents, these trends will shape the design landscape of next year.
Swipe through to see the materials that are set to dominate, and stay tuned as we incorporate these exciting trends into our upcoming projects!

We love supporting local Calgary businesses that offer unique gift experiences. Here are a few of our go-to shops:

💫 Dione: "The Silk Road Spice Merchant is my absolute favourite for the most unique and high-quality spices. Their selection always adds something special to holiday meals and makes great gifts for any foodie."

🧀 Alissa: "During the holidays, I love visiting Springbank Cheese Co. Willow Park Village.Whether I’m stocking up for a charcuterie board or picking up edible gifts, they always have exactly what I need to impress my guests.”

🏺 Ainslie: “ is my go-to for finding one-of-a-kind pieces. There’s so much history in everything they carry, and the owners are simply wonderful to shop with.”

Supporting local is one of the best ways to make this season even more meaningful. What are your favorite spots for holiday shopping in Calgary?

As the holidays approach, smart space planning is key to making your home both festive and functional. Whether you’re decorating for the holidays or planning in a new home, it’s important to think ahead about how your space will serve you during this busy time.

Consider where you’ll place your tree—its size and location should ensure it’s a focal point without blocking key pathways. Don’t forget about outdoor lights—having convenient power sources is essential, but they should also be discreetly integrated into your design. And when it comes to dining spaces, planning for flexible seating is crucial. Ensuring there’s room to pull out the table for guests will make all the difference when hosting for the holidays.

This Giving Tuesday, our team is reflecting on the importance of giving back. Each of us is sharing an organization or cause that’s close to our heart:

💙 Ainslie: "I’m supporting Parkinson Canada for the incredible work they do in raising awareness and funding research to help those living with Parkinson's disease."

💙 Alissa: "I’m supporting Calgary Food Bank. With the rising cost of living, they are always in need, and their efforts help so many families in our community."

💙 Dione: "I’m supporting Make-A-Wish Canada. This wonderful organization brings brightness and strength to children battling critical illnesses, creating unforgettable experiences for them and their families."

We encourage you to support a cause close to your heart this Giving Tuesday, and together, let’s make a difference in our community.

Never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint!

Whether you’re looking to brighten up a room, create a cozy atmosphere, or completely change the vibe, a new coat of paint transforms the feeling of any space. From bold accent walls to soft neutrals, the right colour can make a room feel larger, more intimate, or even more luxurious.

Behind every stunning design is the creative mind of Dione, the visionary principal designer at Dashney Interiors. Whether she’s reviewing plans, selecting finishes, or collaborating with clients, Dione’s passion for transforming spaces shines through every step of the process.

The weather certainly has us craving a warm, cozy environment to cuddle up in, therefore it is the perfect time to explore a major style element of a room - the fireplace.

Here are some of our favourite fireplace designs from past projects that truly elevated the homes they’re in.

One of our favourite parts of the design process is working through renovation drawings and concepts. From initial sketches to detailed plans, this is where the vision starts to take shape. Every detail represents thoughtful decisions that reflect our clients’ style, needs, and dreams.

Thinking about starting a renovation project? Friendly reminder that including the interior design team from the beginning will result in mindful details that matter!
