Meet Laura

A design professional for the past decade. Featured on the pages of Rue Magazine, House and Home, Style at Home, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, HGTV and a celebrated podcast in the interior design community. Collins is ready to impart her knowledge and passion for design in a new city with a fresh approach. 

Along with her husband Blayre Ellestad and their two children Hugh and Annie, she is ready to make her mark! Laura’s goal is to create a space(s) that feels unique to each client and keeps you guessing. Integrating antique with new finds is highly important in her process, which ultimately leads to a strong balance. She is well versed in full scale renovation projects and decorative alike, every project is a new opportunity to expand her skill set and create a beautiful home. The most successful spaces come from her use of unlikely objects and layers of colour. Skillful spatial planning, thoughtful paint selection, and the ambient lighting where you can cozy up at night, and enjoy in daytime.

Her podcast by the same name was launched in Spring 2023, where creative and entrepreneurs alike are interviewed. Look for her on CTV Morning Live as a featured design expert.
