MEET TORI
President & Principal Designer
I’m Tori, the founder and principal designer behind House of Tori.
After over a decade designing high-touch homes in Toronto, I moved my family—my husband and our three young daughters, including identical twins—to the rolling hills of Wolfville, Nova Scotia. We traded city noise for chickens, a cut flower garden, and wide-open skies. Life is simpler now—but my love for creating layered, beautiful, and deeply personal spaces is more passionate than ever.
At House of Tori, we design homes that feel like a sigh of relief—where every detail is tailored, every finish intentional, and every room invites connection. My work blends old and new, celebrates colour and texture, and focuses on creating emotional experiences in the spaces you live your life.
Our clients value comfort and character. They want their homes to welcome adult children back for Christmas, to host joyful summer gatherings, and to hold memories that will last for generations. They love beauty—but not the fuss of decision fatigue. That’s where we come in.
Whether we’re transforming a waterfront cottage in Chester, a historic home in Lunenburg, or a modern family dwelling in Halifax, my mission is the same: to make your life easier, more beautiful, and full of moments that matter.
I believe design is personal—and it should feel like coming home.
