About

Custom interior design, collaboratively designed and expertly done

Urban Energy Lifestyle and Design is a boutique design studio headed by Laura Shewchuk.

Laura’s client-centred process starts with candid conversations to understand aspects such as your personality, needs and life experience, all of which shape your vision for spaces you can truly live in. Recognizing that circumstances change with time, Laura will engage you in ongoing conversations, to articulate a design that reflects your individuality now and in the future.

Once the overall design is settled, the focus shifts to execution—selecting refined and expertly crafted pieces that bring your vision to life. Here, Laura brings to the table her specialized adaptive styling approach, which creates room for special, meaningful elements. From your precious family heirlooms to unique objects acquired during your memorable travels—all these elements can be integrated into Laura’s designs so that spaces authentically reflect your style.

Additionally, Laura is known for sourcing ideas and pieces from all over the world, using her vast network of suppliers. This lets you incorporate rare and special components that complement the design, yielding spaces that are as unique as you are. And when the ideal piece cannot be sourced, Laura designs custom pieces—furniture, lighting elements, floor coverings, and more—which are then produced by various skilled tradespeople.

Laura’s unwavering attention to detail manifests in the choice of quality products and materials, and expert workmanship. Her commitment to building productive relationships emphasizes trust, discretion, convenience, and mutual understanding. These inputs lead to beautifully designed, bespoke spaces that Laura’s clients will continue to inhabit and love for years to come—this is the truest measure of Laura’s success.
