What People Are Saying
I have worked with Hayley in several different capacities over the past three years and have always found her very talented, organized and brings a great work ethic to everything she does.
Some of the projects that I have witnessed Hayley provide her expertise include home renovations, home staging, colour and style recommendations (my own home) and decorating a fire place in three different ways for the magazine I work for - Seaside Magazine.
I hired Hayley to provide product layout and colour design on a recent shoot I had for a skincare company. It was a fast paced shoot and Hayley was very organized and pulled everything together quickly, efficiently while still producing a beautiful on brand layout for each product.

When we moved from Ontario to Sidney BC we downsized from a 4 bedroom home to a 2 bedroom condo. We were overwhelmed with our wall art, hangings and decorative objects. We hired Hayley to help us sort through our stuff and suggest placements and take care of hanging and placing items. Watching her sort the items was already heartening and then she consulted with us on her ideas of placements and hanging. We agreed with all her ideas and within days we had what felt like our home back only better because the professional touch made all the difference. What Hayley did in days would have taken us an agonizing year. Therefore, when we moved again months later we asked Hayley to come and help us again only this time we just let her proceed with our things according to her ideas and we ended up with great settings and ambience in each room. Again what Hayley did in days we would never have done so well or so quickly. We can recommend Hayley’s professional eye to anyone looking for an interior set-up or re-design. It is a good one!

Hayley has helped me with organizing several rooms over numerous years. She has a great way of seeing past the chaos at what a space can be. She is adaptable, energetic and helpful. I never feel rushed and it helps get things unstuck. We have moved furniture, put up shelves, sorted through clothes almost never worn. I frequently recommend Hayley to people for big and small jobs!

We contacted Hayley of Viane Designs following the enthusiastic recommendation of a neighbor. Our expectations were high to begin with, but Hayley exceeded all of them! She was able to pull our scattered ideas together into a cohesive vision that was well within our budget. Whenever we hit a snag, she was able to communicate when a look was “enough” verses “too much”, and she encouraged us to widen our colour palette. She was kind, responsive, prompt and thorough. We would recommend her services to anyone!

I was referred to Hayley to help with a major upgrade to our Victoria condo. It hadn't been touched from its original form in the 1990s. Hayley was my constant companion through many decisions related to textures, finishes, lighting and colors. She kept the project organized and on track. I found her resourceful and diligent with any task related to the renovation. I enjoyed her company as a sounding board for the decisions I wanted to make, and equally with the things I wanted her to run with on her own. Despite the stress of a major renovation, I had a great time working with Hayley and came to rely upon her judgment and diligence as a key part in getting things done. Thanks Hayley for everything. I couldn't have done it without you.

We were moving to Victoria to a 2200 square foot house that needed extensive updating, including a kitchen and 2 and a half bathrooms. We didn’t have any idea about trades people in this area or how to go about beginning the renovation/updating. Hiring Hayley was our first step and our best decision.
Not only did she come up with a plan, including colour scheme, lighting, etc., she also worked magic with paint to minimize the preponderance of red oak in every major room. Her chosen suppliers could deliver at a time of supply shortages and the tradespeople she selected were highly accomplished. They were prompt, reliable, courteous and highly skilled with excellent results.
She organized and co-ordinated multiple trades all during widespread “supply issues” to having most of the work completed and the house quite liveable in just over three months. As issues arose, she quickly dealt with them. After move in, there was only one room remaining to renovate, a bathroom.
This was Hayley’s first major house project where she met unanticipated challenges head on and quickly developed solutions to our satisfaction. The overall results are stunning! Thank you Hayley!
