Renowned for her colourful, layered, and sophisticated interiors, Cynthia blends elegance with personality, ensuring each space reflects the lives and stories of those who inhabit them.
With a signature maximalist-meets-joyful approach, Cynthia crafts interiors that are not just beautiful, they are experiential and emotionally resonant. She draws inspiration from her travels, channeling the intrigue of architectural details and found treasures into every drapery trim, hardware selection, and finishing touch. Named a High Point Market Style Spotter, Cynthia stands at the forefront of design trends, scouting forthcoming innovations in home furnishings and bringing them to her Canadian and international projects. Her work has been prominently featured in outlets like House & Home, Business of Home, VERANDA, Domino, House Beautiful, and beyond, where she has showcased transformations, from Tudor-style home revivals to vibrant, mural-adorned makeovers, as well as expert commentary, celebrating the power of pattern, vintage finds, and creative reinvention.
Ferguson approaches design as storytelling, selecting each element, whether an antique, a statement fabric, or a vintage fixture, for its ability to contribute meaning and character to each and every space.
