Rooted in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sunday House Design was founded by Nora James, a designer with a passion for crafting warm, intentional interiors that tell the story of the people who live in them. Our work blends function and feeling — transforming houses into homes where beauty and comfort naturally coexist.
Creating spaces that feel lived in, loved, and deeply personal.
About Sunday House Design
At Sunday House Design, we believe every home should feel like a sanctuary — a place that captures your rhythm, your rituals, and your sense of calm. Each project begins with listening — understanding your needs, your lifestyle, and the details that make you feel at home.
Our philosophy is rooted in simplicity, intention, and connection. We value natural materials, timeless design, and thoughtful details that make life more beautiful, one room at a time.
Homes That Reflect the Way You Live
We begin with people — their lives, their rhythms, their routines. Each design is rooted in your story, not a single aesthetic, ensuring that the end result feels deeply personal and distinctly yours.
01 / Story-Driven Spaces
Design isn’t linear — it’s iterative, evolving through conversation, exploration, and refinement. We embrace that process, allowing ideas to unfold naturally until every element feels harmonious and intentional.
02 / Purposeful Design Evolution
From architects and builders to local makers and artisans, we believe collaboration elevates creativity. By curating the right team and guiding each step with clear communication, we bring even the most complex visions to life with ease.
03 / Curated Collaboration
We seek out pieces that tell a story — timeless furnishings, natural materials, and bespoke details that feel collected, not contrived. Every selection is made with purpose, longevity, and your lifestyle in mind.
04 / Selective Sourcing
Our
Approach
Rooted in a love for calm, intentional living, Nora founded Sunday House Design as a way to help others create spaces that feel like home — warm, welcoming, and deeply personal. With a background in interior design and years of experience transforming homes across Nova Scotia, she’s known for her ability to combine refined aesthetics with real-life functionality.
Nora’s approach is collaborative and thoughtful, rooted in the belief that great design comes from truly understanding the people who will live within it. Her work blends texture, tone, and natural materials to craft interiors that feel timeless yet lived-in — the kind of spaces that invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply be.
When she’s not designing, you’ll find her recharging by the ocean, gathering inspiration from nature, or spending slow weekends at home — the same balance of beauty and ease she brings to every project.
