What Jane Lockhart does

Jane Lockhart Design Communications Inc. is a Toronto-headquartered interior design firm founded in 1997 by NCIDQ-certified designer Jane Lockhart, serving luxury residential homeowners and commercial clients (home builders, developers, and corporations) across North America. The firm operates from a studio at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, with 11-50 employees, and provides a full-service design offering spanning technical blueprints, construction coordination, custom millwork, furniture selection, and final styling for both residential (custom homes, renovations, room makeovers) and commercial (model homes, presentation/sales centres, corporate headquarters) engagements.

The firm's product surface extends beyond professional services into two proprietary furniture collections: the Jane Lockhart Platinum Series (a Canadian-built, eco-conscious luxury furniture line) and Jane by Jane Lockhart (a curated furniture line distributed through major retailers). The business model is multi-stream: (1) residential and commercial design services billed on a project-specific, quote-based pricing model; (2) furniture hardware sales across two brand tiers; and (3) speaking and media engagements, anchored by Jane Lockhart's decade-plus role as host of 'Colour Confidential' on W Network and HGTV, two published books including 'Paint: A Great Impression' (350,000+ copies sold in Canada), and ongoing keynote appearances at major North American home and design shows.

Customer acquisition is driven primarily by Jane Lockhart's personal brand and media presence, reinforced by a portfolio of industry awards (two NKBA Pinnacle Awards, OHBA Award of Distinction 2025, multiple Best of Houzz recognitions) and long-standing relationships with major Greater Toronto Area builders including Primont Homes, Lindvest, Kylemore Communities, Empire Communities, Sorbara Group, and Hallett Homes. The company is privately held and founder-owned, with no venture capital or private equity backing indicated.
