As excited as we were to be new home-owners, we were also a little overwhelmed by how much needed to be done to decorate our house and make some of the rooms more functional. We decided to seek the assistance and guidance of an interior designer and chose Margarida after reading so many positive referrals for her on HomeStars.
We decided to focus initially on our family room as this is where we spend most of our time. We wanted to make it a comfortable, fun, multi-functional space. Margarida helped us select a sophisticated yet fun colour palette, addressed storage needs to hide the clutter of a two year old, and also designed a desk to be built in to an existing alcove. She came back to us with quotes for the project and lined us up with a terrific carpenter (Ewan Cameron). The addition of a valance to dress up the window in the room also had a huge impact. Margarida coordinated this for us – she shopped for the fabric (she selected fabric samples I would never have thought to look at but which are a fabulous complement to the rest of the room), and then arranged for the production of the valance with a sewer that she recommended. We are thrilled with the new look and colour in the room, the reduced clutter and the improved functionality.
We would not hesitate to use Margarida 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.
