I’m passionate about creating design concepts that uniquely reflect your personal style and how you want to live in your home.

“Your environment has an impact on you whether you realize it or not.”

I’m Linda Lam, Vancouver Residential Interior Designer specializing in furnishing, custom millwork, renovations and styling.  I fell in love with interior design over 14 years ago when I moved into a new condo and had to start decorating from scratch.  I became so obsessed that I started freelance decorating for friends and family.  I always wanted to have a creative career, but at the time I was working as a registered nurse and wasn’t sure what my path would look like.  

The freelance work continued to trickle in as I took design classes part time.  My passion for interior design became relentless that I soon closed my nursing career chapter and was fortunate enough to land a project management position within hotel design.   I was so grateful to have the experience working with acclaimed design firms and high-end hotel groups.  My hunger for interior design continued and it drove me to move to London, UK to take in the art and design culture all around Europe.  When I returned after about a year, I started working at a local design firm, designing show homes, condos, & townhome projects.  After 5 years I worked my way up to Senior Interior Designer and continued to freelance design on the side.  I eventually got so busy I was forced to cut the cord and go full time building Quintessential Living.  

It gives me so much fulfillment helping people improve how they live.  I’m so honoured I get the opportunity to create beautiful spaces for people.  I love interior design, and I think I always will.  

Design philosophy

The client is the ultimate inspiration when creating a design concept for any project.  How one wants to live and experience their home is the focus.  The intention is to design spaces that improve the quality of living and create energy in a home that positively impacts how we feel each day.  How our home appears reflects how we can feel.  A well-designed space is a powerful way to elevate our overall lifestyle and well-being.
