Established in 1999, True Colours Design Group has become well known in the industry for providing personalized, high quality design services for residential and commercial clients in the Fraser Valley area. We pride ourselves in establishing a close working relationship with our clients to truly understand the vision for their project and work together to make that vision into reality. This results in an outcome which exceeds expectations and provides a timeless, wonderful space to enjoy.
Built entirely on 'Word of Mouth' advertising, we have become an essential member of a project's team. We have fostered wonderful partnerships with respected and well established builder/contractors, skilled tradesmen and vendors to provide a comprehensive approach to each project - whether a small renovation or a multi-year custom build.
Lyla's engaging personality and positive approach contribute to a comfortable design and construction process for all involved. At ease working with all project members, Lyla brings extensive knowledge and shared leadership to the building process. This coupled with comprehensive materials expertise - both interior and exterior - serves to ensure a successful end result.
