Does this sound like you?

  • You’ve just bought a beautiful new house or renovated, and you’re having some challenges creating a welcoming, integrated space.

  • You know there is a better way to create your functional space than flipping through all the magazines that look great but don’t speak to your style. 

Live in a beautifully home that inspires your soul and provides you with an elegant backdrop for reliving memories - and making new ones.

Hi! I’m Anna-Ruth, and as the owner of Dare Interiors, I possess a profound admiration for curated spaces.

I’ve been told my strongest characteristics are my knowledge and enjoyment of style and how they integrate into every one of my projects. I don’t believe that imitation is a form of flattery, at least in design. You will never see a space I’ve worked on duplicated.

I love art history and have always toyed with the idea of creating bespoke spaces using this kind of theme (Art Deco, Pop Art, Mid Century, Neoclassical Elegance or French Provence) to influence interior spaces. Maybe you’re bold enough to try it?

As a designer, I lead with empathy. This allows me to experience your space as you do, understand what you feel and truly see the space through your eyes.

The results? An elegantly designed home - as unique as you are.

What My Clients Say

“Due to COVID, I was spending more time at home, including working remotely. That was the starting point - I wanted to create a dedicated office area in my living room with better space management and a cohesive look. I wanted the space to be calming, serene and reflect my style. Anna-Ruth was wonderful to work with. She’s empathetic and listened closely to what I wanted and needed. She has a great sense of humour but is honest - she gives her opinion(s) in a kind and considerate way. The added complication of my living across the country was no problem for Anna-Ruth.

When people see the new layout, they love the changes. Anna-Ruth was able to envision something for my space that I hadn’t in the 12 years I’ve lived here. I highly recommend Dare Interiors to anyone who wants a designer who has a great design aesthetic, who’s thorough and patient and can even keep a remote project on track.”
