“Life is too short not to surround yourself with beautiful things. ”

Sherri Warren - Founder & Creative Director & Principal Designer at Maison Oslo

MAISON OSLO is a boutique professional organization firm that provides creative solutions and styling for beautiful living. I help organize and style beautifully functional and balanced spaces that feel refreshingly timeless and calming. I work with what is already in the space and only bring in key pieces that help elevate the space to keep costs low. Based in the Greater Montreal Area, I’m centrally located to service clients from Montreal to the Eastern Townships.

I help my clients regain their space, reduce their stress levels and love their home again.

Sherri Warren
Founder - Chief Creative Officer & Principal Designer

Welcome to Maison Oslo.

Design enthusiast and hyper-organized since I was 8, I’ve spent my last 25 years ignoring that I would end up building a career in design as a professional organizer.

I’ve spent the majority of my career as a business Executive in the technology space, focused on Leadership, Project Management, Customer Service and creating Organizational Efficiencies. As a side hustle, I built beautiful branded websites which gave me a creative outlet. I loved what I did for a living, but always felt like something was missing. Everyone around me saw in me what I eventually came to appreciate. What if I could marry both worlds?

In 2022 MAISON OSLO INC. was conceived.

For now, MAISON OSLO is one woman-owned and operated. I bring in the talent or trade I need, when I need it, to help keep projects moving forward.

MAISON OSLO gives me the creative outlet I crave.

My Signature Design Style

I’m most at home in an organic Scandinavian style. I tend to gravitate towards lighter more neutral tones. I love a monochromatic colour scheme, with lots of texture and accents of warm but lighter woods.

I believe design is subjective to the space you’re staging and the people who use it. I’m equally comfortable in a Scandic modern farmhouse as I am in the Mid-Century muted colours and brass - I believe the two marry well together and that’s usually where I live.

I’m known for my creative approach to organization. It has to be both functional and beautiful.

In all cases - clean lines, clutter-free spaces and relaxing colour schemes speak to me.

The colours I gravitate towards are whites, creams, black, olive greens and dark navy blues.

Timeless, functional and calming.

HOW MY SERVICES WORK

The Brand

Maison

maison f

house / home

home is where you live: your house, apartment, or condo. It's also the place we feel most comfortable, loved, and protected — where we most feel at home. Home is many things to many people. It's the place you live, and the places you love.

Oslo

/ (ˈɒzləʊ, Norwegian ˈuslu) /

noun

the capital of Norway - my ancestral DNA (Nordland & Oslo) - and coincidentally the name of the dog (a tiny Whippet) that lived in the house my husband Patrick and I have just downsized our lives in. A pivotal time in my life for both lifestyle and career - this new home, where I conceived and grew MAISON OSLO, has been known as the OSLO HOUSE since 2022.

The Ethos

THE ART OF KEEPING IT SIMPLE

"Lagom" in Scandinavian philosophy.

Not too much, not too little, just the right amount. You don't over-indulge in anything, but you're not frugal either.

A philosophy that aims to balance, every area of everyday life. Lagom is the best-kept secret that supports a lifestyle based on social awareness, moderation and sustainability.

Achieving balance is a vital balance between work and play, or time spent together and alone.

A few elevated pieces and keeping it simple are what make up true Sophistication. Less is always more for me!

Don't get me wrong - I love to indulge and treat myself. Put me in a room with beautiful things and I will always instinctively gravitate to the most expensive piece. It's just where my eye is drawn. Quality, colour and design are what always pulls me in. As a consumer, I look for products that are well thought out - with great design.

When it comes to design, I've come to understand how to shop for things that cost less, but look expensive and are of great quality.

I feel I've truly curated a balanced lifestyle for myself. Key pieces that mean more are far more important than having 10 options both in fashion and decor. My older self would definitely share with my younger self that it was worth saving for rather than impulsively needing things.
