Where design is experienced, not made
An award-winning interior design studio in Calgary, Alberta
We’re an intimate team of makers and risk-takers: Designers who push the envelope and never say no to making manifest your vision—because we believe where curiosity leads, fearlessness should follow. We design the spaces where we would want to eat, sleep, work and play: Restaurants, hotels, offices and homes that are more than their four walls—they’re unexpected in their design and immersive in their experience, taking us worlds away without taking us far from home.
Known for our warmth, materiality and originality in design, our spaces don’t just host you, they transport you worlds away.
Our namesake and your principal designer
With 20 years of industry experience, our founder and namesake has been designing interiors since before HGTV made it mainstream. Making her start at an intimate interior design studio, Sarah quickly rose to the Director of Interiors for an architectural agency, working on every project type and scale, from multi-storey residences to hotels, offices and restaurants as expansive as 50,000 square feet.
Today, she’s the founder and principal designer of Sarah Ward Interiors, an award-winning interior design studio in Calgary, Alberta. A graduate of Mount Royal University’s Bachelor of Applied Interior Design program, she’s been honoured with the Outstanding Alumni Award, named Best of Canada by Canadian Interiors magazine, and featured in Dezeen magazine for her work.
And she can’t wait to work with you too.
As designers, we only look good when you look good
