Looking for an interior designer in Montréal? Start by defining the property, rooms, priorities and support you need. This guide focuses on apartment layouts, existing character and bilingual project briefs. The professional, service area and availability are confirmed for your individual project.
A brief built around
your Montréal space.
For a Montréal project, describe how the home is arranged before choosing a style: a single apartment, several connected rooms, a duplex or a condominium can create different layout and coordination questions. Start with daylight, the position of existing wet rooms and the furniture that must remain. If you want to preserve mouldings, doors or flooring, identify them in the brief so the design develops around those decisions. Confirm the language you prefer for meetings and specifications. For work that changes the building, check the relevant borough’s requirements and the responsibilities of the trades before agreeing to a construction schedule. Interior Designed helps you prepare a clearer project enquiry. Share your location, rooms, priorities, budget range and preferred timing; the designer, service area and availability must be confirmed for your individual project.
Record what stays
Photograph existing doors, trims and flooring that you want to retain. A clear retention list avoids designing around finishes you later decide to remove.
Confirm the borough process
Montréal’s renovation guidance distinguishes cosmetic work from changes that may require authorization. Verify the proposal with the relevant borough and responsible professionals.
Agree on document language
State whether you need French or English drawings, specifications and meetings, especially when the owner, designer and contractors use different working languages.
Choose your design scope in Montréal.
Compare the work you need before requesting a proposal. These service guides explain typical deliverables and the questions to ask; the actual scope and professional are confirmed for your project.
Check the requirements for your property
Montréal municipal information and project requirements ↗
Use the municipal information as a starting point. Confirm the current requirements for the proposed work with the municipality and relevant qualified professionals; building or landlord approval may be a separate process.
Indiquez la langue souhaitée pour les échanges, les plans et les devis. La disponibilité, les compétences du professionnel et les services proposés doivent être confirmés pour votre projet.
Planning interior design in Montréal
Do interior renovations in Montréal require a permit?
The answer depends on the work and borough. Consult the city’s interior renovation guidance, then confirm the requirements for your proposed walls, layout, structure and trade work.
How do I keep the character of a Montréal apartment?
List the features you want to preserve, photograph their condition and ask the designer to show how new lighting, storage and furniture will work with them.

Yes. Include your project address or postal code, the rooms involved, your approximate budget and timing. Interior Designed is a planning and enquiry site; designer suitability, service coverage and availability are confirmed individually.
