The Interior Design Group (IDG) is an awardwinning and highly-versatile design firm based in Nanaimo, British Columbia. They work on a wide variety of project typologies, and they provide a comprehensive array of interior design services, including – as of recently – design-build services. By offering such a complete range of services, the firm ensures a stress-free experience for clients, while also ensuring that each finished product aligns with each client’s specific stylistic and functional needs. “What truly sets IDG apart is our hands-on, endto-end involvement in projects,” says Lana McIver, the firm’s owner and principal designer. “We are not solely a design studio – we offer an integrated design-build approach, allowing us to remain involved from initial concept through construction, procurement, and final delivery. This continuity ensures design intent is maintained, details are resolved early, and projects run more smoothly.” “With decades of experience, a highly collaborative team, and strong supplier relationships, our firm combines creative excellence with technical knowledge and real-world build experience,” she continues. “Our ability to manage projects of varying scale, maintain transparency, and consistently deliver thoughtful, well-executed spaces distinguishes us in a competitive market.” Lana founded IDG in 1994, and she personally brings over 30 years of experience in interior design, architectural support, and construction to her role.
