Home by Tim + Chris

Designing Your Kawartha Lakes Lifestyle

Elevated Design

Your home will be designed not only for your personality but will satisfy elevated design requirements.
Your Personality

We are designing for your home and your preferences, not ours. Your home deserves to reflect your unique personality. Our team takes pride in creating spaces that have your guests saying, “Wow, this space is so you.”
Form and Function

Your home not only has to look good but needs to function for your lifestyle. We get to know your family and what you like to do so we can design the details of your home to function for how you live.

We understand the lifestyle you are designing for because we live it.

Just like you, in the summer, we want to spend our time outside enjoying the lake, beach, and campfire. When winter comes, you can find us out cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. At the end of the day, we want to retreat to a beautiful and inspiring space.

For over 17 years, we have been helping people create spaces designed to fit their personality and function for their lifestyle. We founded Home by Tim+Chris because we love working with our clients to get to know why they love the Kawartha lifestyle and what design requirements they need to fully experience it.
