Family Room and Two Bathroom Renovations
As first-time home-owners, we felt overwhelmed by how much needed to be done to our house in terms of decorating and design. Some rooms were in desperate need of a design update, others simply needed decorating to make our house feel like a comfortable home. We decided to seek the assistance of an interior designer and chose Margarida after reading so many positive referrals for her online.
Our first collaboration with her was decorating our family room in order to turn it into a cozy, multi-functional space. Margarida helped us select a sophisticated, yet fun colour palette, came up with storage ideas to hide the clutter of two young children, and addressed the functionality of the room by assisting us with the design of a desk to be built in to an existing alcove. She was able to provide us with contacts for both a seamstress and carpenter with whom she had worked before. The results were fabulous, and it’s now not only the most used room in our home, but also our favorite room.
We next tackled the complete renovation of two very old bathrooms that desperately needed updating. The challenge was to make the very small bathrooms functional, and as airy as possible, while maximizing storage space. We relied on Margarida’s advice on every aspect of these renovations – from layout, to lighting, tile choices, fixtures, and even accessories. In addition to designing two absolutely beautiful bathrooms, Margarida also made sure to address our family’s needs – in our case, bathrooms that would grow with us as our young children grow up.
Though we know what we like in design, we often find ourselves hindered by indecision when it comes to actually proceeding with a renovation, or at other times, overwhelmed by the number of choices and options. Consulting with Margarida gives us confidence in our ideas and choices, and advice and guidance when needed.
We are thrilled with the results of the projects that Margarida has worked with us on. We would not hesitate to use her again in the future as we tackle new renovation projects. Throughout our dealings with her, she has always been punctual, patient and extremely professional. We highly recommend her.
