Thoughtful Interiors. Timeless Design. A Home That Feels Like You.

At Vine to Branch Interiors, we believe a home should be a quiet sanctuary—a reflection of where you have been, how you live today, and the life you are building for the future.

Whether restoring the architectural integrity of an older home in Kitchener-Waterloo or curating a relaxed, light-filled retreat along the shores of Grand Bend and Bayfield, our approach pairs technical precision with an intuitive appreciation for character, history, and craftsmanship.

Meet Deanna Gebre-Mariam

Principal Designer & Founder

With a Diploma in Interior Design and SketchUp Certification for Designers, Deanna brings a grounded, highly structured process to every project. She balances space planning, millwork detailing, and trade coordination with an artistic eye for texture, tone, and proportion. Her work honours the authentic story of a building while introducing modern functionality, custom furnishings, and tailored finishes designed to endure.

A well-designed home should nurture the life lived inside it.

Never forced or overly styled—just intentional, warm, and unmistakably yours.

Our Design Philosophy

  • We have a deep respect for historic character and true craftsmanship. Whether restoring original masonry and timber framing in a Kitchener-Waterloo century home or introducing custom millwork to a modern build, we preserve architectural soul while introducing seamless modern comfort.

01 | Honouring Character

Preserving Heritage & Craft

02 | Connection to Place

  • A lakefront cottage in Bayfield demands a different energy than a quiet urban residence. We design with a strong sense of place—curating organic color palettes, natural textures, and light-filled layouts that honor both the building's context and its surrounding landscape.

Rooted in Surrounding Landscape

  • Renovations and custom furnishing projects involve hundreds of micro-decisions. We remove the chaos through a structured, highly organized process—guiding you through space planning, trade coordination, and final styling with total clarity and care.

03 | Effortless Experience

Structured, Stress-Free Process
