” A lot of our clients will say, we don’t want to live in a showroom, we want to live in something that we’re comfortable in, but obviously still very aesthetically pleasing.”
Award-winning interior designer Amanda Evans, says liveability is key when designing any home — no matter how luxurious the space is. “That’s really important to us,” says Evans.
“A lot of our clients will say, we don’t want to live in a showroom, we want to live in something that we’re comfortable in, but obviously still very aesthetically pleasing.”
In fact, Evans has made “liveable luxury” synonymous with Vancouver-based Amanda Evans Interiors, which she founded in 2008. And, that concept is certainly front of mind, when she deals with clients, including high profile executives and their busy families.
“Our team is dedicated to making the design process as seamless and comprehensive as possible,” says Evans. “Our job is to manage the entire design process from concept to completion in a way that is smooth, engaging and encompasses a high level of service while ensuring that the finished product reflects our client’s needs. ”Evan’s process is creative and collaborative, starting each project by gathering inspirational images with her clients to create a cohesive concept, which she carries through her design scheme. Evans became enamoured with design at an early age and excelled in the interior design program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology.
Since launching Amanda Evans Interiors, Evans has helped multitudes of clients achieve their vision through her personalized design process. “We strive to bring comfortable luxury to spaces while paying close attention to detail, this process allows us to achieve beautiful and functional spaces tailored to our client’s elevated lifestyle,” says Evans. “We take a collaborative approach with our clients, architects, trades and builders to ensure we are thoughtfully translating our client’s wishes for their home to reality. ”While Evans describes her approach to design as layered, creative and collaborative, when it comes to a trademark style, she won’t be buttonholed.

“That’s a tricky question. As a team, we really pride ourselves on working on all diff erent types of projects and there’s defi nitely a common thread,” says Evans. “But we defi nitely stretch ourselves creatively. We work on some projects that are a little bit more transitional in style, and then we work others that are a lot more contemporary.” But no matter which style a client chooses, Evans promises the end result is sure to be elevated and approachable and, above all, have plenty of storage. “It’s always a priority for clients. A lot of our clients want to have a place for everything, so in the beginning, we interview them about their needs,” says Evans. “The kitchen is a big one. How do they cook, how do they bake? Do they do their own dinners or they bring people in? We fi nd out a lot about what their needs are and a lot of that relates to the kitchen, but also about things like the mud room and principal closet.
