At Meme Brooks Design, well-being is a central influence in every design decision we make. Our goal is to create a space that will help you feel your best and enjoy your home to the fullest.
Vancouver Interior Design
Meme Brooks Design is a collaboration of like minded people, driven by their love of design. Founded by Meme Brooks, her vision was to create a company that exceeds expectations every time.
Meme is able to express the clients’ personality within their space, making it seem impossible that they lived any other way. Her team offers the combined knowledge of hands-on design experience, close relationships with (select) vendors, and a passion for helping people fall in love with their living space.
Most individuals find renovating, redesigning, or moving to be stressful. However, Meme provides an easy and stress-free experience. Not only will MBD create the space you’ve always longed for, they’ll also show you how to utilize it (i.e. throwing a fantastic dinner party – just don’t tell your guests where you got that ricotta and parmesan fritter recipe from!)
The Meme Brooks Design Dream is creating a one-stop design shop for all customers:
- Planning
- Design
- Renovation
- Working with contractors
- Resizing
- Colour and design expertise
- Close relationship with vendors
- Staging
Philosophy
The Meme Brooks Design motto is simple: “treat every client as if they were family.” It’s crucial that every customer feels special and taken care of from beginning to end. For however long the design process is scheduled for, the MBD team will be on your side.
Influences
Meme finds inspiration from many aspects of her life. Perfection to Meme is a well-designed room and elements of influence from the 1950s mid-century modern aesthetic. What many of us take for granted, Meme relishes in. For example, furniture made for body mechanics with textures and colours so big and bold, creating an unexpected end result (and comfortable too!).
Her design influencers come from the clean lines found in Frank Lloyd Wrights architecture, bright carefree colors found in Jonathan Adlers’ pottery, the creative diversity found in Martha Stewart’s design concepts, as well as many modern day builders who use environmentally conscious design plans.
