taking merely average to simply extraordinary SINCE 1999.

“It already looks fantastic! I really appreciate your efforts and talent - THANK YOU so much. It was so easy to work with you and the entire project went smoothly. We have done this more than a few times so I certainly recognize and appreciate all you have done.”

“Eye Kandi rocks! We have enjoyed working with Kandi twice now and had benefit of her energy, vision, and thoughtfulness. Both of our house projects were finite but Kandi jumped in with great ideas - yet looking out for our vision as well. Kandi's ability to find ways to save money, find great trades people, keep on budget target and complete on time are remarkable. We are once again looking for help with another project and will certainly call on Kandi. We love Kandi's energy - we love her sensitivity to our tastes, we love the way she finds ways for us to do more with less, and we love spending time with her! Check Kandi out!”

“Our patients, families, and mostly our staff have been overwhelmed by the "new look" of the office. Thank you for all your thought and effort that you have placed into this project. We love our new space and feel energized working in it. Thank you for pulling it all together into such a beautiful and clean looking presentation. We love it!”

- Brian N.

“We have worked with Kandi on a number of creative projects and are constantly reminded why we keep coming back to her, time and time again. We get to live in beautiful spaces and places that constantly remind us of her brilliance. She's like the gift that keeps on giving.

Her ability to capture your vision and "feeling" for the space you're creating and then pull it together and make it all happen, is truly remarkable. We know what we live, however we don't have the skills, talents, or experience to bring things to life like Kandi does; that's not our expertise.

I've often said, I didn't know how to articulate what we wanted but Kandi was able to collaborate and draw it out of us and in the end, with the collective vision and all her resources, she made it way better than we could've ever hoped for. Every. Single. Time. She's a truly gifted talent.

Do yourself the biggest favor. If you want to spruce up your space and love where you live, let Kandi take your vision to the next level. Trust me. You won't be sorry.”

“Picking the right designer can be a very difficult and tricky thing to do. Sharing your personal space, your ideas and your hard-earned money in a creative process means you want a designer who can build relationships and build trust. Kandi Tchir from Eye Kandi Designs earned our trust and admiration through four design projects.

A few years ago, we moved from Toronto to Edmonton and we were looking for a designer. We met with several designers and saw examples of their work but we did not see a space that "made our hearts sing". One day I entered a commercial building that had an amazing use of space, color and design. I asked for the designer's name and our relationship with Eye Kandi Designs and Kandi Tchir began.

Our initial collaboration was a small project in our condo where we had lived for three years. It was a unique loft space but it needed some updates. Kandi came in and knew exactly what to do and where to invest some money. With an eye to updating our principal and personal spaces, Kandi helped us select fabrics to make new draperies and reupholster pillows. She then rearranged our furniture to showcase the space. The condo felt like new.

When we were moving out of the province, we asked Kandi to come in and stage our condo for resale. Within 72 hours, Kandi finished the staging project. In another 24 hours, our condo sold to the first client who walked through the door. We are positive Kandi's staging made this possible.

Our next project together was a total renovation in Toronto. Despite the long distance, Kandi found a way to get the selections and product across the country. She sourced the newest and latest tiles, furniture and fabrics. She sat on the floor with paint cans, carpet samples, wallpaper books, and fabrics in an organized fashion that made sense and was not overwhelming, She created a fashionable, unique, city home. Our condo was featured as the "home of the week" in a national newspaper when we decided to make another move from a downtown Toronto condo to our country cottage on Georgian Bay.

Our country project was an 1880s cottage. Fixer Upper's Joanna Gaines cannot hold a candle to Kandi Tchir's results. Kandi's paint selections throughout the entire house and fabric choices for bed linens, pillows, and furniture created a timeless modern farmhouse. Every accessory she selected added to the appeal and comfort of our home.

Kandi is the consummate professional. Her access to resources and her eye for detail and guidance inspires confidence in all the decisions that must be made during a design project or renovation. When those inevitable unpredictable disappointments with wholesalers or other trades happened, we always knew that Kandi was "on it" and would "fix it".

Kandi has her own exquisite sense of style but during our initial discussions she reassured us that our choices would reflect our taste. She encouraged us to experiment with our own style. When we picked grey, she suggested charcoal. When we picked green, Kandi suggested celadon. The resulting spaces have totally reflected us and our personalities - only better.”
