"Dear Ingrid,

I wanted to send you this letter to thank you for the wonderful work, you and your team did, in staging and decorating my home for sale. Your professionalism, enthusiasm and clear sense of design were key to the outstanding sale of my home in one day! The effects you were able to create not only enabled the sale to come so quickly, it went for over the asking price and the new owners purchased most of my furnishings. It was such a pleasure working with you, keeping me calm and organized and I am pleased to recommend your service to anyone!  

Please feel free to use my name and this letter in any way to further your business. Thank you again for your wonderful help."  Sincerely,  Brenda Brown 

" I first met Ingrid several years ago, when she worked as a design consultant at Alfords Floors and Interiors. Recently my mom moved into a Long Term Care Facility and I asked Ingrid to help me personalize her room and make it more warm and cozy. She did a great job.

I found Ingrid to be a very competent, enthusiastic Interior Decorator. She is a warm, caring, respectful person who strives to accommodate her client's needs and wishes in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Ingrid to anyone needing the assistance of an Interior Decorator. "  Vicki G.

" Last spring my husband & I bought some new white cupboards for the kitchen and I was trying to decorate the tops of them with some kind of greenery - I had no idea whatsoever! My daughter Claudette suggested that she bring Ingrid Ruud from Ingrid Ruud Decor 8....Ing out to my place in Sedley to give me some ideas. My daughter had her house decorated by Ingrid & just loved it. Ingrid (Decor8Ing) gave me suggestions on what to do with the tops of my kitchen cupboards. She is so energetic & full of good ideas that I wanted to do more with other parts of my house - bathroom, bedroom & living room! Ingrid & I went shopping for flowers, material & pictures. She came back to my home & did the beautiful flower arrangements, hung curtains & pictures & suggested paint colors. I really like my new look & have decided to get her back next year to decorate my living room. She loves her work, is extremely efficient /3t is just full of fantastic ideas. She's an excellent shopper. She has a natural aptitude for matching colors & knows that everything will go well together when it's finished - just boggles my mind! 

I've had many compliments on my "new" decor in my home & would recommend Ingrid very highly to anyone who is thinking of renovations or redecorating. " Yvette W

Ingrid tells us the story of this home here !

" Curt Keil (Sales & Marketing Coordinator) from Pacesetter Homes called me in the summer and asked if I would be interested in staging one of their show homes which would open in September. How could I resist, the area of our business, which I am most passionate! I was aware that the 2012 Pantone Colour of the Year was Tangerine Tango and that got the ball rolling. So, it all started with a beautiful brilliant orange vase that I found at Aunty Fanny’s here in the Queen City. A little touch of “Bohemiam Chic” design and shades of orange with blue accessories would be the colour story. Curt’s response to my idea was simply “I trust you Ingrid”! I tell people that decorating and staging is like a jigsaw puzzle. You start with a plain table top and keep adding the pieces (some are more difficult to find) and when it’s completed you have created your masterpiece. It takes a lot of time and patience and many hours of shopping to stage a new home, but you don’t have to go it alone.

There are Interior Decorators and Interior Designers who can assist and walk you through the process. After researching and shopping in over 40 stores, here in Regina, the home finally started to come together and my vision became reality. The home opened on September 18. Stop in and see the show home at 305 Brookview Drive- Fairways West overlooking the beautiful Goulet Golf Course.

Trusted Regina Interior decorating ideas!

There are a number of colour palettes that harmonize beautifully with every type of interior design. These classics have remained current despite the passage of time and trends, easily adapting to changes in style and furnishings. Follow these simple guidelines to choose a palette that will remain in tune with your own evolving home decor.

Rule 1: Limit your palette to a maximum of three or four colours for your entire home. Remember that these shades will govern the majority of your colour choices. You can also apply several hues of the selected palette, but try to stay as close as possible to your original choices.

Rule 2: The chosen colours should blend harmoniously when placed next to each other. Closely examine the swatches in different types of light to ensure that they continue to complement one another.

Rule 3: Avoid painting all walls in the same colour as this can sometimes create a box effect. Instead, combine shades that fall within your initial palette. This will create an harmonized and dynamic decor.

Colour tip : For a sophisticated and timeless look, choose a similar colour combination:

See photo below for an example. 

Start with a base colour consisting of Natural white, which is warm and delicate. Afterwards, introduce a light complimentary shade (brown) to soften and stylize the overall effect. Complete the palette with another complimentary shade ( grey ) in the same hue that is subtle yet elegant.

TRUSTED REGINA Interior Decorating tip

Neon Colors to add to your Decor!

Sleeker and more modern than when they first made their debut back in the early 80's, hot pops of colour combined with reflective metals are making a strong comeback both on the runway and in home decor. Whether starting by adding brightly coloured accessories or painting a wall with a dynamic shade, there are plenty of solutions to integrate neon colours in every room in your home.

Kitchen

Neon in the kitchen is HOT! Here, bold colour feels fresh and modern in combination with elegant metal appliances. Integrate neon to your decor by painting a few walls or by adding bright coloured tablecloths, utensils or lamps. Opt for blue to create a clean and refreshing decor.

Bathroom

Adopt this new trend in the bathroom with paint on walls, furniture and even the bathtub! In the case of a sink or a bathtub, use a paint specifically designed for this purpose, resistant to moisture and heat. Consider adding green, which besides being refreshing, readily passes through all seasons.

Living Room

The neon pink fits perfectly with white, black, gray and even indigo furniture. Incorporate a touch of neon in your living room with a bright pink carpet or with some cushions on your couch. You can even go for neon furniture that will create a dynamic atmosphere in the room.

Bedroom

Add vibrant colours to your bedroom. Consider painting a few key elements such as your bed or the doorframes. You can also integrate neon colours with accessories such as cushions, rugs, vases or bright light fixtures. Think of yellow, lime or orange to add dynamism.

There is so much more to choose from these days...it is actually overwhelming, even paralyzing for some customers.

Time and experience has taught Ingrid decorating important lessons she shares through her initial consultation; which consists of:

 1. A Client Consultation Booklet is sent by e-mail, prior to the 1st visit, to determine a "Client Wish List".

3. Ingrid will recommend local stores for furniture and accessories and if needed and will shop with her clients.

4. She will recommend reliable trades people who specialize in home renovations.

5. The client's personal "Decorating Booklet", along with recommend-ations, will be sent to customer following the initial meeting.

6. Many of Ingrid's clients communicate through e-mails with questions. She will work with her customers until the entire renovation has been completed, if the client so wishes.

She specializes in Interior decorating- Window Fashions Furniture and Accessory Shopping, Flooring, Floral Designs, Custom Designed Cushions, Paint and Wallpaper Consulting

She holds an Interior Decorating diploma, with highest honors from Stratford Career Institute and this has given Ingrid a career in which she is truly thankful. Ingrid's passion for floral designing took her to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1992, to receive her diploma in design at the Canadian School of Floral Art. Born in The Netherlands and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan and coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Ingrid introduced an Interior Decorating business to Moosomin, Saskatchewan, to great success, with her then business partner, Velma Moore. Dekor-Bees Interior Decorating was sold in 1997 and Ingrid brought her design talents back to Regina.

Employed by Fiorante Floors & Interiors and followed by Alford's Floors & Interiors, she breathed life into her clients' homes through the inspired application of colour, textiles, furnishings and accessories. Ingrid's enthusiasm and imagination have made family members, friends & client's decorating dreams become a reality, for over 25 years!
