Our Story
We believe every home deserves a nook — and every nook deserves great design.
From Frustration to Platform
Nooks.ca was born during a Canadian winter — the kind where it's -25 outside and the only thing that matters is how warm and inviting your home feels inside.
Our founder spent weeks searching for help creating a window seat reading nook. She tried Instagram for inspiration (overwhelming), Pinterest for ideas (endless scrolling), furniture stores for products (too generic), and even reached out to interior designers (expensive quotes, long wait times).
The problem was clear: There was no single place where someone could get design inspiration, connect with an affordable designer, and easily shop for the right products — all focused on one simple goal: creating a cozy nook.
“What if designing your dream nook was as easy as browsing, booking, and buying?”
A New Kind of Design Platform
Nooks.ca is a digital-first interior design platform. We don't sell furniture or ship products. Instead, we connect you with talented Canadian designers, provide professional design packages, and curate “Shop the Look” galleries with affiliate links to trusted retailers like Wayfair, IKEA, Article, and Structube.
Our model is simple:
- 1. Browse inspiration and find your style
- 2. Connect with a designer or buy a design package
- 3. Shop through our affiliate links at your favourite stores
We earn a small commission on design services and affiliate purchases — which allows us to keep the platform free to browse and connects designers with clients they might never have found otherwise.
What We Believe
Canadian Through and Through
We're based in Canada, we work with Canadian designers, and we understand Canadian homes — from coastal BC condos to Muskoka cottages.
Design First, Always
We believe great design should be accessible to everyone. Our platform connects you with professional designers at every price point.

Whether you're a homeowner looking for design help, a designer looking to grow your business, or just someone who loves cozy spaces — we're building Nooks.ca for you.
Transparency Note
Nooks.ca earns revenue through design service fees and affiliate commissions when you purchase through our links. This allows us to operate without selling physical products or charging users to browse. We only partner with retailers we trust and recommend products we believe in. Your trust matters most.
