Who We Are


MEET KELLY CANADA


I’ve been an artist since childhood. In 2000 my love for creating evolved into designing my first client’s home in Atlanta. What started as a part time passion has turned into my Design + Build + Interiors company today. We now work with clients all over Florida, from Jacksonville to the Florida Keys!

What brought us to today’s business was the recognition that the most beautiful, most efficiently managed remodeled homes had fewer hand offs between the Designers, Contactors and Sub-Contractors. So in 2020, I became a certified Residential Contractor! The integration of this service to my Interior Design business allows my clients access to amazingly unique materials and furnishings, along with providing a single point of contact to manage the remodel of their home. From kitchens and baths, up to remodeling, designing and decorating your entire home!

Today, my husband Jim and I, work with a team of expert trade craftsmen, artists, wood workers and fellow creators, to make your home something truly exceptional.

I take immense pride in working with clients to guide them on the exhilarating journey of creating a beautiful, functional home that will stand the test of time, and give great joy to family and friends!

Are you ready to start your creative journey?


DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

I have been creating spaces since I was very young. It was never four walls and a ceiling to me. It was a canvas. An area to put my ideas and creativity into a plan. I have learned in over 20 years of business, that each space, each client, and each project, has its own unique soul. Listening and observing is at the core of any successful project, just as much as creativity and knowledge. The unique personality of each project allows me to create spaces that are distinctive to each client. Designing is my passion. It is this passion that drives me to go one step farther every time to find that perfect aspect of the project that will make it distinctive.


OUR VALUES



HEAR FROM OUR ECSTATIC CLIENTS

  • Interior Design

    SO CUMULATIVE AND COLLABORATIVE…

    We had always considered ourselves rather adept in the design aspects of our home. With that being said, we were a bit apprehensive when first making the decision to hire a designer to aid us in our home interior. It was extremely important to us that our home not end up looking “designed” or that the house lose us in the process. There was of course an idea of how we wanted the house to end up looking. What we ended up with FAR exceeded our expectations. The process, and it is a process, was cumulative and collaborative.

    Kelly was able to take our ideas, put them into an amazing plan to transform our home into the sanctuary where we now reside. She opened our minds to incredible features that we would have never thought of on our own. We found that many of our pre-conceived ideas were really quite “seen” and typical. Kelly introduced us to fabulous textiles, furniture, art and unique found objects that we would have never considered before.

    Had we not hired Kelly we would have ended up right where we started, frustrated with a house that lacked interest and continuity. Kelly was great at showing us everything for approval prior to decisions. There were times when we just took a leap of faith and trusted that something chosen would end up being the right thing. It always was. It was truly a wonderful and gratifying experience working with Kelly. Our home is just that, our home.

    Our input and taste is evident in all corners, walls, windows and furniture.

    Kelly is a multi-talented designer. She is even great at arranging and hanging pictures!

    We have since purchased a second home in New England and will be hiring Kelly to do her magic once again!

    I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND KELLY CANADA DESIGN + BUILD + INTERIORS!!

    My experience has been enjoyable and exciting! Kelly was able to help me define my design style by working with a few existing furniture items and art I have collected and adding key pieces to pull everything together. Colors and fabrics were chosen as well to compliment and complete each space. I enjoyed being apart of the process and always was kept abreast of the progress.

    Kelly is professional and personable about her work and her enthusiasm for all projects big or small was inspiring! I would highly recommend KELLY CANADA DESIGN + BUILD + INTERIORS and I look forward to continuing my relationship with her!

    EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE OUT COME!

    SHE CREATED A TOTALLY DIFFERENT DESIGN THEME!!

    Kelly, with KELLY CANADA DESIGN + BUILD + INTERIORS was introduced to me by a friend who was very happy with her services and results. Kelly has worked on two homes for me and both projects turned out much better than I expected. To note, Kelly was the first designer I have ever hired, so you could imagine my trepidation. She asked me to give her photos, etc. on the style and colors I was looking to have in my home. Kelly was tasked to give my home a “face lift” as opposed to a complete remodel...which in reality is much more difficult. She had to work with pieces I wasn’t willing to give up and we created a totally different design theme. She was amazing and pulled it all together beautifully!

    I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THRILLED WITH THE AMAZING RESULTS!

    I have worked with Kelly on my first custom home from construction phase to every detail from furniture, lighting art & accessories and am currently working with her on my second custom home. The amazing characteristic about Kelly is her ability to get inside my head and anticipate my wants while still incorporating my needs. Her taste and feel for texture truly is amazing. Although she designed both homes for the same person, both homes have their own uniqueness and characteristics that create a whole new feel. That happened to be one of my initial requests, that Kelly use her knowledge of my family and I, but create something totally different than before in our 2nd home. She has done this beautifully and I cannot wait to see the completed project. Throughout my two projects with Kelly, I have learned to trust in her judgement, and I have always been thrilled with the results!

    HARD WORKING AND PASSIONATE TEAM WORK!!

    I recently hired KELLY CANADA DESIGN + BUILD + INTERIORS to design and complete my new condo on the ocean. When I first met Kelly, she listened intently as I explained that I wanted a comfortable, beachy feel, and then she expanded on those ideas with creative, unique concepts. Kelly managed the whole process, from designing our new kitchen & baths, new doors & hardware, flooring, furniture, custom furniture & cabinetry, window treatments & every accessory installed, ensuring they were installed properly and on time. The process was seamless and smooth. Whenever I had a question she always responded immediately. I am so happy with Kelly’s creation and love walking into my beautiful, comfortable home. I receive numerous compliments from every guest that visits me. It’s everything I could dream of and more!

    ITS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE WITH KELLY CANADA DESIGN + BUILD + INTERIORS!!

    Having dealt with a designer in the past who had poor communication and lack of connection, I was unhappy with the outcome. I sought to find a designer that could visualize what I was looking for in my new home. I found Kelly searching online and after the completion of my first home she helped me to design, I found her to be a true visionary who clearly understands and incorporates the ideas I have tried to express that I would like in my home.

    Kelly listened and communicated clearly with me and brought ideas that were in line with what I wanted, but not at all what I had considered. She is clearly creative and has an eye for detail. Interior design is a tough business and Kelly does a wonderful job at providing quality work and is personable to work with every step of the way. I look forward to working with her again!

    A BEAUTIFUL PLACE FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS TO GATHER!

    We hired Kelly with Kelly Canada Design + Build + Interiors to help guide us through a remodel of our kitchen, two half baths and an over all refresh of our outdated home. It made a large, overwhelming project so much easier. I loved knowing that she was guiding all of our choices to work to a beautiful, cohesive final result.

    HAVING WORKED WITH KELLY WAS BEST EXPERIENCE!!

    Having worked with Kelly on my latest renovation of my condo, the first word that immediately comes to mind is efficient. Kelly was always completely in command of the project, listening to what I wanted and building upon my ideas. Her vision created a truly personalized and unique living space that is perfect for my lifestyle.
