Meet Lynda
Founder & Creative Director
With 20 years in the design industry, you could say Lynda knows interiors (an understatement!). With a style that has been refined over the years, Lynda loves creating contemporary interiors with a nod to modern organic style.
Her clients always guide the aesthetic direction, as she designs for their preferences first and foremost. Having worked with luxury retailers including Orson and Blake and Coco Republic, in 2019 Lynda started her design studio to share her passion for high-end interiors and has been forging a name for herself ever since. Her Maison Cruz project was awarded a 12-page feature in Home Beautiful magazine (a true “pinch me” moment) and her amazing clients continue to give her the creative freedom to showcase her talent in creating aspirational interiors.

For Lynda, the best part of the job is getting to know her clients and designing them a space that enhances their daily lives - one they can’t wait to come home to every day.
Lynda has a knack for asking the right questions to get to know her clients and feel as though she’s a part of the family.
And if you have any furry friends, she will greet them as if they are her own. Most days, Lynda can be found on site, exploring new furniture stores or in her studio with her two fur babies sitting under the desk while she works on creating your dream home.
Love Notes
Lynda has a vision like no other, her attention to detail and design flare turns a home into a work of art. She created above and beyond what we could have imagined. We could not be happier with our new home! Lynda is such a joy to be around which makes the project so much fun to be a part of. We would never do another renovation without her!
Deon & Rebecca Carter
Lynda was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has the perfect balance of professionalism and yet understanding and connecting with you like a best friend. We have worked with a number of designers before but Lynda was by far the best in her understanding, advice, and wisdom. The results speak volumes to the quality of her work. She has a natural talent and ability in translating our words and feelings into quality furnishings, finishes and renovated spaces. We felt completely at ease entrusting Lynda with the design, selections, overseeing the construction, and craftsmanship with the tradespeople and placing all the details for our final reveal. I cried on seeing our dream spaces come to life, exceeding our expectations in every way. Thank you Lynda for all you do, we are so very grateful.

Lynda was and is a fantastic interior designer which made the renovation journey a breeze, especially during the Covid pandemic. Lynda was able to marry our personalities into her designs and we love what she produced. Lynda also has a great team behind her which also made the process smooth as expected. I highly recommend Lynda McDonald Interior Design and would definitely use her expertise again. Thank you Lynda Not only does Lynda deliver a beautiful product but she is always happy and fun to work with! I could not recommend Lynda enough to any Builders and clients who want to engage with an Interior Designer service. Photo's do not do justice for the quality of design and aesthetic that she creates for her clients.

We are in the process of renovating our home into our “forever/dream” home and we honestly could not have done it without Lynda. Lynda’s attention to detail, professionalism and ability to understand a brief and the bring it to life is impeccable. Lynda is not only always punctual but nothing is ever too much for her. We highly recommend Lynda from The Design Chaperone for any of your interior design needs!
