Urban Angel Bedroom Makeover

At Urbanhome, we have always believed in the power of design to inspire and uplift lives. Our Urban Angel initiative was born from this belief, bringing moments of joy and transformation to children and families in Windsor who need it most.

What is Urban Angel?

Urban Angel (a nonprofit organization) is a heartfelt, community-focused program dedicated to improving lives through thoughtful design. We partner with local businesses, volunteers, and families to create beautiful, comforting, and personalized spaces for children facing challenges.

Whether it’s transforming bedrooms into dream escapes or designing sensory-friendly spaces, Urban Angel projects always aims to support emotional well-being and offer hope.

Urban Angel was started in honour and memory of Mikaela Scurto (February 26, 1995 – September 12, 2013).
