Story time! This sectional from @crateandbarrel has stood up to its claims!!! We had an accident over the weekend where a glass of mango juice spilled all over this sectional. I’m sharing in more detail in my story, but let’s just say with a little TLC it looks brand new again! I also noticed it happens to be on sale so if you’re in the market for a sectional that can stand up to the wear and tear of every day life while still looking chic and beautiful, the Aris sectional is perfect! It comes in other configurations - not just a sectional. It’s linked in my stories and saved in my links highlight! #crateandbarrel #livingroomdecor #livingroominspo #ltkhome #designbymarisa

I’m a huge believer in including sentimental pieces in people’s spaces. This metal dragonfly has significant meaning to me. It was purchased while on one of my first international design jobs so having it in my new office means a lot to me. If you are caught up in copying designs you see on Pinterest, don’t forget that sentimental pieces are what personalizes a space and bring meaning. Don’t copy and paste something else - personalize your space with pieces that speak to YOU. #interiordesign #officedesign #officedecor #designbymarisa #personalstyle

Peep the wooden panel under the sofa. That’s the side of my new walking pad. It takes less than a minute to put it into place under my sit/stand adjustable desk and easily rolls under the sofa for quick storage. Getting in steps while working has never been easier! Sometimes it’s the least aesthetically pleasing items that are the best! #officedesign #sitstanddesk #walkingpad #designbymarisa #idigraduate

The scale of furniture in a room is an important detail in ensuring the final look is proportional and balanced. Too large and your room can feel overwhelmed, too small and it can be uncomfortable and sparse. This is one of the many valuable insights @theinteriordesigninstitute taught me. And once you understand this, it becomes obvious in every space you enter. For this office on a budget, these @target chairs were considered a “splurge”. The size and scale of the Vernon Barrel Accent Chairs were perfect for this room and the curved shape added visual interest. But it was the fabric that made me swoon. The light brown velvet introduced a softness that was much needed in a room with textured walls and ceiling, and the color plays off of the shades in the area rug beautifully. 😍 Leave it to @studiomcgee to design a beautiful piece at a great price point for their Target collection. #interiordesign #officedesign #officedecor #designonabudget #designbymarisa

One of the many valuable lessons I learned through @theinteriordesigninstitute was to incorporate textures to add visual interest to a space. Looking back, it seems like a no-brainer, but it really was one of those aha moments for me in my training. Having moved to a State where textured walls are everywhere - inside and out - I’ve been looking at texture through a new lens. I’d love to bring some high gloss, reflective, smooth surfaces to this space. It would balance, the rough textured walls quite nicely. I managed to sneak in a mirror, and a glass door bookshelf. But due to budget constraints, I couldn’t bring in as many smooth surfaces as I would’ve liked. Having said that, I’m in love with how the textures I did bring into the space are working together. It truly does create visual interest and creates a cozy atmosphere in a room. The space should be completed by this weekend so stay tuned to a full reveal coming up! #designbymarisa #interiordesign #decor #office #officedecor #idistudent #idigraduate

The office is almost finished! Thank God for Amazon - the home decor I found at really great prices made this whole room possible. I’m still waiting on the desk. Once it’s finished a do a post on my website complete with links to the products used in this space for those who are interested. #designbymarisa #interiordesign #homedecor #officedecor #amazonfinds #idistudent #idigraduate

Save vs. Splurge. When clients have a tight budget I still recommend putting out the money for quality items that you want to have last. Everyone’s response to that is different, depending on their season of life, their priorities, where they envision themselves in a decade, their total budget… For us, the dining room table was the priority. I wanted a quality, extendable table that would last. When this one entered my search at 50% off you know I jumped at the opportunity! Other than the pre-owned art and accessories, the rest of this room is from Amazon! And most of it was on sale as well. You absolutely can create a comfortable space that reflects YOU and your personal taste on a budget. ☺️ #designbymarisa #diningroom #diningroomstyle #interiors #interiordesign #amazonhome

Have I mentioned how much I dislike this faux brick fireplace 😩 One day (when the budget allows) we’ll update the home but in the meantime I think I’ll paint right over it. But BEFORE I get around to painting I’m trying different art to see what might “tone down” the busyness of the faux brick. Art can really change the tone of a room. Do you have a preference for what art I should use for now? I’d love your input! #art #livingroomdecor #fireplacedecor #designbymarisa #interiors #interiordesign

What a difference curtains make. These linen-textured panels were a steal from Amazon. I used them in the living room and loved them so much I purchased the same ones for the primary bedroom. 😍 Now to get out the steamer… #designbymarisa #idistudent #interiordesign #bedroomdecor #amazonfind #curtains

It’s been 9 months since my last interior design project (and that was such a fun one - an entire house top to bottom with a spectacular kitchen😍). Sitting down to design a space that Jeff and I can use to share meals with new friends, disciple new Christians and coach leaders is a literal dream come true. I can’t wait to see this dining room IRL! 🥰 Follow along if you want to see it too! #designbymarisa #interiordesign #diningroomdecor #sampleboard #diningroom

I loved this kitchen! Each New Year's Eve we would host a group of young adults from our church here. We'd play games, laugh and see how long it took before I couldn't stay awake anymore. Let's just say I'm not exactly a night owl. ;)​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Whatever your plans are this New Year's Eve, I wish you all the best and a new year filled with love, joy and peace.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Happy New Year!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #designbymarisa #newyearseve #happynewyear #welcome2023

If you're working on a tight budget and can't include backsplash tiles in your bathroom design, try a bold wall colour or wallpaper instead. It adds style and flare at a fraction of the cost.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #bathrooms #bathroomdesign #interiordesigntips #washrooms #idistudent #idigraduate #designbymarisa

I love a wood tone in a bathroom! The warmth it adds is so lovely, and when the vanity feels more like a piece of furniture than a bathroom fixture, that's even more wonderful!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #bathrooms #bathroomdesign #bathroomvanity #interiors #idistudent #idigraduate #designbymarisa

One thing this bathroom reno taught me was to put a double vanity in our next bathroom immediately (assuming it'll fit). It's a game changer for a family washroom.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #bathroomdesign #bathrooms #interiordesign #designbymarisa #washroom #idistudent #idigraduate

The family who owns this home holds a very special place in my heart.

What's one thing that you invested in that was a disappointment? I'll go first. This sofa from West Elm was a major disappointment. It didn't hold up well, the cushions lost their shape and the fabric was not nearly as durable as we expected. We thought we made a good investment, but boy were we wrong. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Live and learn, right?​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #livingrooms #designbymarisa #interiordesign #livingroomdesign #interiors

A space should reflect those who live there. It should feel like you, not some Pinterest image you copied. One simple way to achieve this is to include items that speak to you in your home decor. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ This book about fashion and style over the years is one of my favourite coffee table books. I displayed it in my living room on an acrylic stand and every so often I'd flip through it and leave it open to a new page. Each time I passed it, I'd smile to myself because the book brings my little heart joy. That's what your space should do for you too - make you smile unexpectedly and deposit moments of joy as you go about your day.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #interiordesign #designbymarisa #youdoyou #customizeyourspace #styleandfashion #inspo #idistudent #idigraduate

We decided to put a wet bar/kitchenette in the basement next to the home office space. It was one of those unnecessary features that once we installed it we were like, "Uh why didn't we do this years ago?"​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ We lived with it for a handful of months before selling our home, but I gotta tell you, it's something I'd love to include in our next home too.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #interiordesign #designbymarisa #wetbar #familyroom #basement #basementdesign #familyroomdesign #homeoffice #wfh #idistudent #idigraduate

The electrical panel was an eyesore in this space, so we hid it behind a panel and painted it the wall colour to disguise it a bit. The top shelf above the washing machine provides the perfect spot to tuck away the router and modem, while the lower shelf houses practical items like detergent and fabric softener sheets.​​​​​​​​​ I was so excited to get this laundry room finished that I completely forgot to shoot footage for a before/after video!

My husband cut a custom counter top to provide a bit of surface area in this laundry room. We used upper cabinetry as lower cabinetry since they're only 15" deep, and the room wasn't spacious enough for traditional 24" lower cupboards. It's a simple way to provide storage while saving space.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #designbymarisa #ikeahack #laundryroom #laundryroomdesign #designonabudget

12/12/2022, 1:00:45 AM

We finished this laundry room just in time to list our house. It's a smaller space, so we utilized stacked upper cabinetry to create loads of pantry storage without taking up too much space. And the pocket door entry with frosted glass allows light to transfer and helps the room feel open and spacious. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I think in our next house I'll finish the laundry room when we move IN not OUT.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #laundryroom #designbymarisa #ikeahack #ikeacabinets #laundryroomdesign #designonabudget #idistudent #idigraduate #idistudent #idigraduate

Whenever somebody sees this bathroom in person they comment on how neutral the pink colour is. That was an intentional choice when designing this pink bathroom for our girls. It’s not too girly, not too pink, but just pink enough. The Stromboli tile from @centurahamilton were the inspiration for this space. And I love how they look stacked vertically in the shower. #designbymarisa #interiordesign #bathroomdesign #bathroomreno #pinktile

I timed myself making the bed just to see how much of a “hassle” it really is. Less than 3 minutes is all it took. Less than 3 minutes to create a sense of calm and order. I’d say that’s time we’ll spent, would you? #designbymarisa #interiordesign #smallbedroom #masterbedroom #bedding

9/1/2022, 12:22:56 PM

Swipe to see how this space looked before! It was an extra bedroom in the basement when we purchased the home in 2011 that got an upgrade in 2021. Having a home office space has been game-changing! My only regret is that I didn’t invest in it sooner. #designbymarisa #interiordesign #homeoffice #wfhspace #beforeandafter #basementrenovation #idistudent #idigraduate

Real estate photos of when we bought our house in 2011 versus when we sold it in 2022. The kitchen was built in the original living room giving loads of natural light to space. Best decision we made! #designbymarisa #beforeandafter #kitchendesign #kitchenremodel #homerenovations

Using shallow upper cabinetry to create a wall of storage is a simple way to maximize storage space in a small room like we did in this laundry room / pantry. Instead of traditional 24” deep lower cabinets, we used 15” deep uppers and added a custom counter top to provide a small work surface. It’s a simple and effective solution for small spaces. #designbymarisa #interiordesign #laundryroomideas #pantryideas #smallspaces #laundryroom #idistudent #idigraduate

Oh hi! If you’re new around here, here’s a little backstory. I enrolled in Interior Design School in the middle of a global pandemic and did much of my studies in my bedroom - the only place I could get a little privacy. 😉 I graduated @theinteriordesigninstitute (you can hear more about that on my YouTube channel linked in my profile), launched my business, and dove into our basement home renovation. All while continuing to work full time. I’m currently not taking any new design clients as our family prepares to embark on an adventure. We’re selling our home that I lovingly designed, quitting our jobs and heading oversees for a sabbatical while we figure out what comes next. I’ll share design inspo from my travels along the way and I may even open some virtual design spots… we’ll see. So that’s a bit about how the last 2.5 years have been for me. I’d love to hear a bit about you too! Share a random fact about yourself in the comments. 😊 #designbymarisa #interiordesign #idistudent #idigraduate #virtualdesign #edesign

A Master Bedroom that is light and bright is a must for me. Painting the back wall black allowed for some moody vibes without making the room feel dark and heavy thanks to the east facing window. Would you consider a black window in your bedroom? #designbymarisa #interiordesign #masterbedroom #bedroomdecor #blackaccentwall #bedroomideas #idistudent #idigraduate

Marisa Anderson Design is working with its first co-op student this summer! They’re learning everything from a design brief with a client, creating a mood board, sourcing products, purchasing, working with subcontractors, working with trades, staging a room, and managing a budget. This sweet bedroom was the project that they worked on almost entirely on their own for this co-op. I think the final result is a bedroom that many teenage girls would love!

Our house hits the market this week! This main floor kitchen/living room was the first interior design project that I fully managed and, as a result, learned that I LOVE interior design.

By far, the largest project I've ever been involved in so far was this amazing warehouse turned church.

It’s been 11 months since I started my business and launched this account to act as a portfolio of sorts. The people I have met on this app have delighted and amazed me! More frequently than ever someone new asks where my design studio is located or if they can come see my studio and meet me at my office. Let me introduce the office! A small corner of our basement that houses a small library of design samples and materials, and in place of a spacious worktop to spread things out on, I’ve gone vertical. I have three small shelves that allow me to see the samples together, without using all of my desktop space. When I’m building out a concept I use a large acrylic tray to contain the various options I’m going between to prevent the whole space from being overtaken. The winners stay on the shelf. If I have more rooms to work on, once I’m pleased with the selections, I put (most) of them in a clear bin, labelled with the project name. This allows me to free up one of the shelves AND when I need to work on a specific project again, I can easily grab the project bin and pick up where I left off. So that’s the design studio, guys. 😊 And I quite like it! If you have any other tips to help make this space work efficiently, send ‘em my way. #entrepreneur #interiordesign #designbymarisa #homeoffice #wfh #designstudio

The basement renovation is soooooo close to being finished. Some paint touch ups, backsplash tile and a textured finish on the fireplace bump out and then we’re DONE! 🎉👏🏻🥳 #designbymarisa #interiordesign #basementrenovation #homeoffice #designstudio

Can you see it? This is the phase of the project when all of the things that have been envisioned for months begin to materialize. It’s the best! #designbymarisa #interiordesign #kitchendesign #customkitchendesign

A former client texted me this picture to show me how the gallery wall is coming along and I was struck by how amazing this living room photographs. It’s a rental unit and we worked together to thrift almost the entire thing. 😍 This client is the Facebook Marketplace queen! We started by creating mood boards to set the tone. Armed with those, she scoured the internet to find the pieces that spoke to her while also creating the relaxed, boho-chic vibe she loves. I would get a smile on my face when she’d send me a photo of a newly discovered item asking, “Do I want this?” 😊 I’m super proud of this personalized, thrifted space and absolutely loved watching this client realize a space that feels like HOME. 💕 #designbymarisa #edesign #livingroom #thriftedhome #facebookmarketplace #bohostyle

Architectural details that are intentionally included in a space truly make a room feel special. This condo has custom millwork throughout, including a few different coffered ceilings, but this round one we accentuated with a medallion above the light fixture is my personal favourite. 😍 #designbymarisa #condodesign #interiordesign #kitchendesign #custombuild #hamont

Swipe to decorate! The subtly darker-toned, off-white trim - Feather Down by @benjaminmoore creates a seamless, monochromatic look paired with Vapour - also @benjaminmoore - on the walls. It seriously has me rethinking white trim in general. 🤔 The furniture and accessories in this space were selected by @barnardspeziale over a decade ago. We updated the flooring and paint throughout the home intentionally keeping as much of the original furnishings in place. The result is a lighter, brighter space that homeowners love. #designbymarisa #livingroom #livingroomdecor #hardwoodflooring #benjaminmoore

The before and after that I actually remembered to take. Well, if you consider demo day a proper “before”. 😂 #designbymarisa #kitchendesign #homerenovationideas #waterfallcountertop #kitchenislanddesign #pendantlighting

These black shower accents create balance in this design by adding a casual feel to the marble-inspired shower tile. Are you team: 🖤 black/dark 🤍 cool (chrome, stainless steel) 🤎 warm (brass, bronze, copper) when it comes to your shower fixtures? #mastershower #ensuitedesign #plumbingfixtures #showerhardware #designbymarisa

It’s starting to warm up around here… finally! Who loves a good outdoor living space in the warmer weather? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Whether you have a spacious patio or yard, or a smaller condo balcony, there are affordable options that create seating areas to bask in the warmth. Here’s a sweet balcony situation I styled last year using @wayfaircanada and @ikeacanada products. Makes me wanna grab a cool beverage and a good book! #outdoorseason #patiofurniture #designbymarisa #balconydecor #outdoorlivingspace

Loving this tile wall moment in this master bath. Things are moving along at the Carpenter project and I’m so excited to see it all come together! @centurahamilton #designbymarisa #masterbathroomremodel #masterbath #tileinspo #bathroomtile

This little corner of our basement renovation is quickly becoming my favourite spot to read every morning. Later this month the hubs is taking vacation time to finish off the renos! Can’t wait for the finished space. #designbymarisa #interiordesign #familyroom #familyroomdecor
