The Company
Design experience in both retail and custom design studio projects ranging from new home customization, remodeling of residential spaces, interior decorating, space planning and colour schemes provide the clients with a varied resource of ideas.
CPI Interiors provides community services within the framework of presentations, workshops and seminars to teach the basics of interior design and decorating in a public forum.
Throughout the fall, winter and spring, CPI Interiors gives monthly seminars at different venues around Ottawa. Each seminar focuses on one aspect of interior design. The talks are always well attended and are often followed by a lively discussion. Email for more information to mail@cpiinteriors.ca
The company is also involved in several community based business associations including Capital Business Association, The Kanata Chamber of Commerce, The Nepean Chamber of Commerce and Women's Business Network. We are also involved in the High School Co-Op program. This is the program where a grade 12 student, who is trying to decide if he/she wants to go on to college in the Interior Design program, is placed in our office to work for 4 months . This allows the student to see first hand what happens in the "real world" of Interior Design.
