<h1>Kitchener Waterloo Interior Designer Specializing in Functional and Refined Interior Design Kitchener</h1>
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Design Factory Interiors is a full-service residential and commercial design studio based in Kitchener-Waterloo, recognized for its approachable style and thoughtfully considered spaces.
We design interiors that reflect the people who live in them—layered, purposeful, and carefully crafted. Our work is grounded in real life, informed by experience, and designed to support the way you truly live.
As a designer and mother, I understand the importance of a home not only looking beautiful, but also functioning beautifully. Whether we’re restoring character in an older home or building something brand new, our goal is always to craft spaces that feel elevated, effortless, and entirely you.
We believe the design process should feel seamless, collaborative, and maybe even a little fun. Our clear and proven framework removes the guesswork, so you always know what to expect—and where we’re headed together.
From one-time consultations to full-service interior design, we offer a range of services tailored to meet you where you are in your project.
hi, i'm Shannon...
Design Factory Interiors began the way many good stories do—with a heartfelt pep talk from Shannon’s grandfather and a big leap of faith post-design school.
Since 2011, founder and principal designer Shannon Eckel Braun has been crafting classic, collected interiors with a focus on livability, light, and a touch of wit. Known for her thoughtful spaces, sharp eye, and occasional role as design mediator, Shannon brings clarity, calm, and a sense of humour to every project.
Born and raised in Kitchener-Waterloo, Shannon’s love for character-filled homes runs deep. Raised in a charming century home near Victoria Park, her creative spirit was nurtured early—whether she was sewing tailored suits for local execs, refinishing furniture at the cottage with her dad, or developing film in her high school darkroom, she was always building toward a life in design.
Shannon’s signature aesthetic seamlessly blends old and new, rooted in craftsmanship, layered with intention, and tailored to the rhythms of everyday life. Clients often say they feel seen in the spaces she designs, which is exactly the point.
When she’s not designing warm, welcoming interiors, you’ll find her in the garden, snacking on chips, listening to oldies, or spending time at the cottage with her husband and son, Finn—often mid-renovation on their own beloved century home.
