There are plenty of good interior designers in Quebec, but only a few stand out from the crowd for their talent, style, experience and media presence. My goal here is to browse through the seasoned designers from Quebec that I admire the most and that inspire me to improve myself every day as I create extraordinary homes for you. Here are the best interior designers:
Manon Leblanc
Born to parents both active in the design and furniture-making fields, Manon Leblanc is passionate about decoration and design. She created her first workshop at 22 and hired her first employee at 23! She cumulates more than 20 years of experience in interior design and she has realized facades and decors for businesses and restaurants alike. Her notoriety quickly brought her to participate in television programs in the decoration field.
She has appeared in the ‘’Saisons de Clodine’’, before staring on Canal Vie. With “Manon, tu m’inspires”, “Ma maison signée Manon Leblanc” and “Manon, flippe ma salle de bain”, the designer introduces viewers to her refined, accessible style.
She offers complete residential services to individuals. A team of exceptional professionals surrounds her to meet demand, but she also participates personally in every project.
Brigitte Poitras
Brigitte is well known for her show “Bye Bye Maison”, the only home staging show produced in Quebec.
In fact, she trained in the U.S. in 2004, and made it her mission to adapt home staging to Quebec realities and bring it to as many people as possible.
And she’s succeeded, as she begins the 12th season of Bye Bye maison.
With her background in administration and her talent for design and decoration, she has all the qualities needed to manage her company Idéco, which offers complete interior design, decoration and home staging services to individuals in several regions of Quebec surrounding Montreal. To do so, she is accompanied by a team of skilled professionals. Idéco’s philosophy is to convey Brigitte’s passion and know-how to bring magic to clients’ properties!
One of her dreams is to create a foundation with the goal to help people improve their living space. In her own words: “A lot of people write to tell me how much they’d like to have the means to make their homes warmer, more comfortable for their families. It should be possible to be comfortable in your own home, with a little help.

His vision is to ‘’ answer to diversified customer bases by fulfilling theirs needs, both demanding and precise or downright uncertain, by offering a service of exceptional quality, in the respect of professional ethic, always with boldness, yet flexibility’’.
