Welcome

About Wide Canvas

Wide Canvas is a full‑service interior design studio and cabinetry showroom serving Reno‑Tahoe homeowners who want their homes to quietly outshine the rest.

We specialize in high‑end residential remodels—whole homes, kitchens, baths, great rooms, and custom closets—for people who are serious about quality, comfort, and how their homes make them and their guests feel. Our role is to take the weight of a complex remodel off your shoulders, while making sure the result feels unmistakably like you.

Our philosophy: approachable luxury, beautifully managed

Luxury doesn’t have to feel intimidating or precious. The homes we design are warm, welcoming, and deeply functional, with refined details that reward a closer look.

You bring your vision, quirks, and wish list. We bring years of design expertise, business‑honed project management, and a clear, flat‑fee process that keeps everyone on the same page. The result is a home that works beautifully for your everyday life, and quietly impresses the people who walk through your door.

Meet Jackie Lopey

Founder and principal designer Jackie Lopey has been designing homes for nearly two decades, but her first career was in the corporate world as a business executive and project manager.

That background shaped how Wide Canvas works today:

  • She thinks in terms of teams, timelines, and budgets—not just pretty pictures.
  • She’s comfortable collaborating with contractors, architects, engineers, and vendors.
  • She knows how to keep a complex project moving while protecting your time and energy.

Jackie is a Certified Interior Designer in the State of California and leads a small, dedicated in‑house team that supports every project from concept through completion. You’re not working with a solo designer juggling everything alone; you’re working with a studio set up to handle the details.

What makes us different

High‑end remodels demand more than a mood board and a few pretty fixtures. Wide Canvas stands out in a few key ways:

  • Business‑level project management
    Before design, Jackie spent years managing budgets, people, and timelines. We use those skills to structure your remodel, keep decisions organized, and help your build team work efficiently.
  • Flat‑fee, clearly defined deliverables
    We work on a flat‑fee basis for design, with a defined scope and deliverables. You’ll know exactly what’s included—concepts, 3D views, specifications, and meetings—so you can reserve your contingency funds for construction, not endless hourly design bills.
  • Concept‑to‑completion partnership
    We take you from early ideas and “what if” conversations through space planning, selections, 3D models, documentation, and collaboration with your contractor and trades. We don’t swing the hammer, but we stay close to the process so the design you fell in love with is the one that gets built.
  • Deep cabinetry and materials expertise
    As cabinetry specialists with a local showroom, we understand how kitchens, baths, and storage spaces really function. We can source and coordinate almost everything you see and touch—cabinetry, counters, tile, plumbing, hardware, and more—so the whole space feels cohesive.
  • A real studio team, not just a lone designer
    Behind the scenes, our studio and office team keeps selections, orders, and communication organized. That structure is what allows your project to feel calm and well‑managed from your side.

Where and how we work

Wide Canvas focuses on primary and secondary homes in the Reno‑Tahoe region.

  • In Nevada, we provide design consulting focused on selections and visualizations: cabinetry, surfaces, fixtures, furnishings, and finishes tailored to your style and budget. We develop concept layouts, mood boards, and 3D views that clearly communicate the design intent, then collaborate with your licensed architect and contractor so they can translate those ideas into compliant plans and a successful build.
  • In California, as a California Certified Interior Designer, Jackie is qualified to plan, design, and document nonstructural, non‑seismic interior work within existing buildings. She can develop space plans, interior drawings, and detailed specifications suitable for permit submittal by you and your licensed design professionals, and guide you through finish and furnishing installation.

Our studio and cabinetry showroom are open by appointment, giving you a calm, focused environment to review concepts, touch materials, and make decisions with our guidance.

Awards and recognition

Our work has been recognized locally and within the design industry, including:

  • Best of Houzz award for Service, ten years in a row.
  • Northern Nevada Builder’s Association Best Remodel – Residential, two consecutive years.
  • Multiple Sierra Nevada National Kitchen & Bath awards

We’re proud of the recognition, but even prouder that many of our projects come from repeat clients and referrals—from homeowners who return to us for their next remodel, and contractors who appreciate detailed, buildable plans.

The Experience: Design Peace of Mind

Remodeling a high‑end home touches every part of your life. Our Design Peace of Mind Process is built to make that experience as clear and low‑stress as possible:

  1. Plan – We get to know how you live, study your existing home, and develop multiple space plans and 3D models so you can confidently choose a direction.
  2. Budget – Together we outline realistic investment ranges and make design choices that align with your priorities, from must‑have features to smart splurges.
  3. Build – We collaborate with your contractor, architect, and trades to clarify every detail—from cabinetry to finishes—so they can execute the design with fewer surprises.

Throughout, you’ll feel like you’re in partnership with a knowledgeable expert who has your best interests at heart and respects both your time and your investment.

Is Wide Canvas right for you?

We’re a good fit if:

  • You own a Reno‑Tahoe home worth around seven figures and want it to live up to its potential.
  • You’re planning a full‑room or whole‑home remodel, not a quick cosmetic update.
  • You value professional guidance and are comfortable delegating details to a trusted team.
  • You want a home that feels warm, livable, and distinctly yours—never cookie‑cutter.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to talk about your project.
