Hello, I’m Vanessa Francis and I help busy professionals feel happier and more comfortable in their homes.

My Milton, Ont.-based residential interior design studio, Vanessa Francis Interior Design, employs a personal and collaborative approach. We work closely with homeowners, builders and contractors to create timeless surroundings accented with uplifting doses of colour and pattern. Whether a single room or an entire new-build home, VFID interiors are beautiful, welcoming and good for the soul.

Let’s get started

Kind Words from Clients

My husband and I purchased an old side split property which required a total renovation: new main floor plan which involved taking down walls, new kitchen floor plan and design, new hardwood floor, wall color selection, bathroom reno, paint selection for the exterior….it was a LONG list. We hired Vanessa to help us with achieving everything on our wish list – she did it all and did an AMAZING job!! Vanessa was able to transform an old fragmented space into a beautifully designed interior. Our project is now complete and we are very pleased with Vanessa’s design and vision – we love her choices of colors, textures, and design elements. We highly recommend Vanessa. She is super talented and is able to translate clients wish list into reality. We really don’t know what we would have done without her on our project.

Vanessa Francis is an extremely knowledgeable and helpful professional. We hired her for a large-scale renovation. She designed and executed a perfect design for our kitchen, family room, powder room and ensuite. She was reliable and easily approachable, always on hand to answer questions and tackle any questions that arose along the way. She was able to meet the practical needs of our family while incorporating our personal style with her impeccable taste and overall vision. We could not be happier with the end result which exceeded our expectations.

The best decision of the entire renovation was working with Vanessa. She has a strong sense of space and understated elegance. She is one of a kind, professional and passionate about what she does. Every recommendation she made was perfect. I could not be more grateful. Vanessa made my life so much easier and my home a real home. I can only provide the highest recommendation for her.

Zoom consultations are such a great idea! I wish I had done this sooner. I admire Vanessa’s style and want to give our small, dated rooms a more classic, modern feel. She gave me suggestions for my living and dining rooms, including paint, furniture and placement, rug, lighting and worked with a few pieces I already own. A lot can be covered in 2 hours and I’m looking forward to implementing these ideas. Will also be seeking Vanessa’s advice on my entranceway.

We hired Vanessa for the renovation of two bathrooms in our home. We are thrilled with how they turned out. Our expectations were definitely exceeded. Vanessa had great ideas about staying within the budget but getting a luxe look. She is very friendly, easy to work with, a good listener and accommodating. It was a collaborative approach as I had my own ideas as to what I wanted. She has a really good eye for design and colour and I couldn’t agree more with all of her decisions. She really pushed us to get out of our comfort zone and I’m so glad she did. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vanessa.

Vanessa’s consultation was worth every dollar and more. She is extremely professional and prepared to assist. She didn’t waste any time and offered such great solutions for my design dilemma. She showed me different images of materials and furniture that would complement my space. I highly recommend spending the money for an initial consultation. On top of it all, she’s such a lovely lady. I enjoyed my time with her!! Thank you, Vanessa. I am super pumped to tackle my project now.
