Commercial interior design covers spatial planning, layout, material and finish selection, architectural drawings, and construction documentation. For most projects it also includes permit drawings, landlord approval submissions, and coordination with contractors, engineers, and suppliers through to completion. The work goes beyond how a space looks to how it functions for both staff and customers.

We design cafés, restaurants, bakeries, fast food and takeout concepts, retail, and mixed-use spaces, along with clinics and office interiors. Our portfolio includes independent operators, multi-location groups, and rollout projects across Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, and beyond.

An interior designer works on the structure and function of a space, including spatial planning, layout, building code compliance, permit drawings, and construction documentation. An interior decorator focuses on surface elements such as furniture, colour, and styling within an existing layout. In Ontario, registered interior designers hold professional credentials through ARIDO. Sansa Interiors is an ARIDO registered firm, and our work covers full architectural interior design rather than decorating alone.

Yes. Rollout projects involve building or renovating several locations to a consistent standard, and we organise the work so it is efficient in both cost and time. It always starts with a concept strong enough to apply whether you are opening one location or many. We work with growing chains as well as independent operators.

As early as possible, ideally before signing a lease. Early involvement affects budget, permit strategy, and whether the space can accommodate your intended service model at all. Waiting until after the fixturing period means the useful decisions have already been made.
