Homes for real life

home renos & Design

Edmonton, Alberta

Maybe your home worked once.

Before the kids. Before the life shifts. Before that kitchen layout started driving you quietly insane.

Now, you're juggling growing needs with outdated spaces—makeshift rooms, endless clutter, and a sense that your home just isn’t working anymore. But moving feels like too much, and starting from scratch feels overwhelming.

What you really want is a space that supports real life—spilled juice, cozy movie nights, last-minute school projects, and the sacred pause of a quiet morning coffee. Not perfection. Just peace. Function. Flow.

As a designer, mother, and someone who’s turned her own 1,100-square-foot house into a sanctuary for a family of five—I get it. With over 1,000 projects behind me, I help people like you create homes that feel good, work well, and hold what matters most.

Let’s make your home work for your life.

Make your home work for your life

Here’s the truth: Most people weren’t taught how to renovate a home—let alone lead a project while parenting, working, and keeping dinner on the table. And let’s be honest, between the kids’ activities and that unpredictable dog (or is it a ferret?), adding “general contractor” to your job title isn’t exactly realistic.

But just because you’re not a design expert doesn’t mean you’re meant to live in a house that doesn’t fit. It just means you need a partner who can see what’s possible—and guide you there without the stress.

That’s where I come in.

Think of me as part designer, part intuitive, part calm-in-the-chaos. I walk into your space and immediately sense what it wants to become—how it can flow better, function smarter, and feel more like you. My job is to turn that vision into reality… without you having to lose your mind, your weekends, or your relationship in the process.

Sound like what you’ve been hoping for? You’re in the right place.

The Services

Get the home you want—with the support that fits where you are.

Start with a Home Clarity Session to gain expert insight, grounded direction, and a clear sense of what’s possible in your space. From there, choose the path that fits:
If you’re planning a renovation or new build, step into The Home Framework - our full design process that takes you from concept to construction drawings with clarity and confidence.
If you're focused on one specific room, like a basement, bathroom, or flex space - The Room Framework offers a complete, high-touch plan to reimagine how it flows and functions.

Each service is designed to meet you where you are, whether you're navigating change, craving order, or simply ready to feel more at home in your home.

    The Home Clarity Session

    Every great home project starts with clarity.

    The Home Clarity Session is a 3-hour in-home consultation designed to help you see your space with new eyes. Whether you’re planning a renovation or just feeling stuck, this session offers expert insight, personalized direction, and a clearer path forward.

    We’ll walk through your home together, explore what’s working (and what’s not), and uncover opportunities to improve flow, function, and alignment. Afterward, you’ll receive a written summary with key takeaways and recommendations to guide your next steps.

    This isn’t a one-size-fits-all consult, it’s a thoughtful, intuitive starting point for meaningful change.

    The Room Framework

    One space, thoughtfully reimagined.

    The Room Framework is a focused design service for clients looking to transform a single space, like a basement, bathroom, home office, or guest suite.

    We’ll walk through your needs, rework the layout, and bring the concept to life with 3D visuals - so you can confidently move forward before any work begins.

    It’s not just about making a room look better, it’s about making it work better, too. This is where one space becomes a catalyst for ease, beauty, and better living.

  • “I cannot recommend Aimee highly enough. She guided us through the entire process, from conceptualization to completion. Her ability to balance aesthetics with functionality really stood out to me —she created a design that looked great, met our practical needs and fit within our budget.

    Farhad Eyyubov

  • We LOVED you Aimee. Thank you! Your approach was warm and inviting. Your experience is extensive. Your dedication to tailoring it to us and our county's requirements were so appreciated. You can be explained to others by saying "She met us at our kitchen table. Literally and Figuratively". I can not thank you enough. Wow!

  • Aimee is amazing to deal with. Her attention to detail is great. She asks all the right questions and helps make your dreams a reality!

    shayna bruce

  • Aimee listens to what you want, and she excels at translating it into the design for your space. She is creative, detail-oriented, practical, and very warm and easy to talk to as well. Aimee was efficient and organized, and I can't believe how quickly she can build furniture!

    catherine kirker

  • Aimee’s ability to read our family needs, understand our design preferences and transform that into a beautifully functional area is second to none! While my husband and I had difficulty articulating what we desired, she was able to take the time to carefully understand our needs, incorporate thoughtful details, and create a workspace that will grow with our family. From the layout to the storage solutions, every element was designed with purpose! We are looking forward to bringing her home office design to life!

Aimee Murrell - Home Reno Pro - Edmonton

Meet Your Designer

Designing spaces that feel like home - for real.

I’m Aimee, the founder and creative lead behind Murrell Design Co.

For me, design has always been about more than aesthetics. It’s about energy. It’s about feeling. And it’s about creating a space where life actually works—where beauty meets function, and the layout of your home supports the rhythm of your days.

I’m the kind of person who walks into a room and sees what it could be. Not just visually, but energetically. I listen closely—not just to your words, but to what’s underneath them. And more often than not, I’ll create something you didn’t even know you needed... until you see it.

Whether we’re reimagining an existing home or designing a new one from scratch, I bring intuitive design, personal care, and deep respect for your lifestyle to every step of the process. This isn’t about Pinterest-perfect. It’s about creating a home that fits you—your story, your seasons, your soul.

Because real life is messy. And good design should hold it all
