Ann Mastronardi, the visionary founder of Ann Mastronardi Interior Design in Canada, is dedicated to transforming spaces into beautiful, functional, and personalized environments. With a profound passion for interior design, she embraces challenging projects and relishes the opportunity to express her creativity through different colors, textures, patterns, and furniture.

Design Philosophy and Principles

Mastronardi’s approach to interior design is guided by several key principles, including balance, harmony, rhythm, proportion and scale, emphasis, contrast, and attention to detail. She meticulously balances functionality and aesthetics, adding personal touches to each project. “Each client has their own preferences,” she explains, highlighting her commitment to incorporating elements that reflect the client’s personality and interests.

One memorable project involved a client who had a cherished photo from a snorkeling trip in Hawaii. Mastronardi transformed this photo into a custom piece of artwork, creating a meaningful and personalized addition to their space. “It’s important to incorporate elements that speak to your personality and interests,” she notes, emphasizing the importance of unique and sentimental objects in creating inviting and personalized spaces.

Client Collaboration

Collaboration with clients is at the heart of Mastronardi’s design process. She believes that understanding client needs is the key to a successful project. “Involving the client in the initial consultation is the first step,” she says. Building rapport and creating a comfortable environment where clients can share their visions and concerns is essential. Active listening and clear communication are crucial in ensuring that the client’s vision is realized.

Mastronardi involves her clients in every step of the process, from discussing budgets and timelines to providing mood boards and 3D renderings. This transparency builds trust and enhances the overall experience. “Collaboration fosters a sense of ownership,” she explains, resulting in spaces that feel truly personal to the clients.

The Showroom Experience

Mastronardi’s showroom is designed to offer a superior design experience for her clients. Located between Toronto and another major city, it is the only showroom in a four-hour radius that carries Covet House furniture from Portugal. “It is so unique and beautiful,” she says, highlighting the exclusivity of her offerings. This differentiation strategy is crucial in standing out amidst the competition.

The showroom provides clients with access to a wide range of fabrics, wallpapers, flooring, carpeting, décor items, and furniture. Clients can see and feel samples, ensuring quality assurance and comfort. Mastronardi scans the globe to bring unique and beautiful products to her clients, including exclusive collections like Covet House, Delightfull, Natuzzi, Baobab Collection, Thompson Ferrier, Cloud 9 bedding, and Smart Silk, sourced from Portugal, New York, California, and Montreal.

Signature Style and Upcoming Events

Mastronardi has created her own identity with her signature design, logo, brand, and aesthetic, allowing people to instantly recognize her work. Her favorite brand is Covet House, known for its curated, gorgeous, and unique pieces.

Looking ahead, Mastronardi plans to attend the High Point Market (HPMKT) in High Point, North Carolina, one of the largest home furnishings markets. This event promises to be an exciting opportunity to discover new trends and connect with other professionals in the industry.
