Book a Project Clarity Session
Request received
That's everything we need.
Forty-five minutes on video, whenever works. If you'd rather not book a slot, leave it — Dana will call you, and you'll get a confirmation by email either way.
Why people book
- Under budget, not over it The Christie Heights main floor came in $40,000 under, and finished on time.
- The schedule holds Joanne and Tim's project finished ahead of schedule and inside budget. Milestones are set before the work starts, not renegotiated during it.
- One fee, not two Design, decorating and project management sit under a single contract, instead of paying a designer and then someone else to run the site.
Before and after
Oak Street
Same footprint, same skylight, same doorway. What changed was the plan.
Recent work
Calgary main floors, start to finish
Tuxedo Main Floor
A well-built home that no longer matched how the owners lived. Custom millwork, refined furnishings, and a replanned layout for gathering and hosting.
Mahogany Great Room
A furnishing-led update to improve function, contrast and cohesion across a combined living and dining space.
Oak Street Kitchen & Living
A full redesign for a growing family — better layout, more light, and an underperforming main floor made genuinely usable.
"Dana did a wonderful uplift of our open concept main floor. She discovered, understood and manifested a style we didn't know we had. The project ran smoothly, on track with her clearly communicated plan. It's renovation with the least amount of stress possible."
Arlin Amundrud
"The project was completed ahead of schedule, stayed within budget, and was incredibly smooth from beginning to end. Once we signed off on the design, we didn't have to think about a thing — Dana kept us updated regularly and managed all the moving parts seamlessly."
Joanne & Tim
"From the start, she asked all the right questions to understand what we wanted to retain in the space, how we live, and what improvements we were looking for. Her quick insights and unique suggestions opened my eyes to possibilities I hadn't considered before."
Lorrein Camargo
"She gave detailed realistic advice, and considered elements in my kitchen design I wouldn't have even thought of. She provided options within my style for a variety of price points and levels of finish. Her level of detail and professionalism were noticed and appreciated."
Gaylene Hart
Who you'll be working with
An engineer who became a designer
Dana MacAulay founded Calm Clarity Interiors after transforming her own home. The engineering background is why the studio runs on documented decisions, defined milestones and written communication rather than inspiration alone.
Working with families in Altadore, Britannia, Mount Royal, Aspen and across Calgary's established neighbourhoods.
