Our first project was transforming our master bedroom into a tranquil retreat. She helped us with carpeting, drapes, headboard, paint, and bed linens. To this day our master bedroom room remains timeless thanks to her. She then guided us through our living room redesign followed by our brand-new kitchen renovation and recently she helped us design and update our family room. She helped us reconfigure the massive brick fireplace that dominated the room and she guided us by picking a carpet, color for the walls, couches, coffee table, lamps, wall art and accessories. The overall effect was stunning and would not have been possible without her guidance and expertise. She is an excellent interior decorator and has an eye for detail. We receive many compliments on our home from friends and family and none of it would have been possible with Margarite’s expertise. We continue to consult with her on any future home projects. **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Thanks so much Danny. You and Kathy have been, and continue to be, a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Josie, Nov. 2020** > Margarite was such a great help! She was easy to work with and listened to our style and gave us the right guidance to move forward in making the right decisions to match our style! Thanks Margarite for all your help! **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Thanks Josie. I'm glad I could help with the design of the en-suite and also select the elements for the en-suite and main bathroom (tiles, paint colours, cabinetry styles, counter-tops). I look forward to seeing the finished product! **★★★★★ — Siva Sodadasu, Dec. 2019** > Margarite Oliveira has been exceptional with her advice and designs. We have done complete reno of the main floor making it an open concept. Her selection of kitchen counter tops, flooring tiles and paint colors are remarkable. She carefully listened to understand our tastes and likes. With that information she designed the layout, furniture and accents, which transformed the space into a tasteful and functional area. She brings in the wow factor in anything she does. > I highly recommend Chic Decor! **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Thank you so much Siva! It's been a pleasure working with you and Prithi. Your home is so bright and open now and I'm so happy that I was able to play a role in that transformation. > Wishing you a very Happy New Year! **★★★★★ — Helene Zimmer, Dec. 2019** > I have had the pleasure of working with Margarite for over 10 years and consider her a good client and friend. She is a talented designer, very professional and a good listener. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for help with any design project! **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Thank you Helene. You've been a great asset to me and my clients on all art projects. I look forward to more in the future! **★★★★★ — Wanda Jozwa, Dec. 2019** > I have been very pleased with my services done by Chic Decor! Recently, i had my living room all redone. I absolutely loved working with Margarida. She made the entire process an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She is professional and personable. She will bring your vision into a reality!! **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Hi Wanda, It's been great working with you for over 12 years! What started as a colour consultation when you were pregnant with Adam, has evolved to redecorating almost all of your rooms and providing guidance with changes to your home's facade as well. I'm glad you're happy with the living room ( the second incarnation!), I think it looks awesome! **★★★★ — Stephanie Ferguson, Dec. 2019** > I used Chic Decor to decorate my dining room. I am very happy with the quality of the materials and the finished result is beautiful. They were professional and met all deadlines and budgets. **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Thanks Stephanie. I'm glad you're pleased with the dining room. I think it turned out beautifully as well, and is one of my favourites. **★★★★★ — Mira Zahtila, Dec. 2019** > I have worked with Margarita for over 10 years and am very satisfied with the completed projects that she worked on with me. Recently I had my roof, eaves trough, and siding replaced and with Margarida's help she was able to give me colours that would work with my house. The house is 40 years old. I am very happy with the choices she has given me. The house looks spectacular. I have had a lot of compliments from my neighbours and people in the neighbourhood. My next project will be in the spring, painting the shutters, doors and cement blocks. Margarida has given me the paint colours and I can't wait for the spring to get this done. I would highly recommend Margarida, she is very professional and helpful, she works with your likes and dislikes. Thank you Margarida, looking forward to working with you next year, I have a few more projects that I would like to get done. **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Thanks Mira. We have certainly made many changes to your home over the years, from the main floor, to the bedrooms and bathrooms to the front and back yards. > it's been great working with you and I always look forward to seeing you and helping with your next project. **★★★★★ — shamali das, March 2018** > I had Margarida come and re-design my bedroom and guide me in my renovation of my stair case and floors. What impressed me most about Margarida is her no-nonsense approach. She knows exactly what I am trying to achieve, and quick at understanding my taste and develop a plan. She knows her stuff well. **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Thank you for your kind words Shamali, you were wonderful to work with. It is certainly true that the best compliment one can pay another is to send them a referral. So, thank you too for the referrals you have sent my way. **★★★★★ — Nick, July 2017** > Margarida helped us with interior paint colours and redesigning our office space with new furniture. Her expertise and knowledge was evident which made the process go smoothly. > She is a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Mike Trevellin, May 2017** > I am a contractor and have been working with Chic Decor for over 10 years now. Margarida's attention to detail, her abilities to design a project to suit the individual client with specific wants and needs, her professional and relaxed disposition are all second to none. I have and would recommend Margarida to my clients. **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Thanks Mike. I look forward to continuing work on current and future projects. **★★★★★ — Stacey Robinson, May 2017** > Margarida is very professional and really helps my clients create a fabulous room or rooms by combining their wishes with her vision of colour, style and placement. She is a natural with her vision and choices. **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Thanks Stacey. It's a pleasure working with you and your real estate clients providing direction and selecting the necessary elements for their decorating/design projects. > Looking forward to working together again soon. **★★★★★ — henriqs, Jan. 2017** > We have had Margarida's assistance and design expertise a few times. She has helped us with a variety of design advice such as paint colours for our entire home, kitchen face lift advice for cabinet repainting, counter tops, floor tile and backsplash. She has also helped with furniture decisions, furniture placement and has quite a vision! Most recently she advised on colours and decor for my daughter's bedroom. She has a great eye for design and would highly recommend her. We have saved ourselves a lot of time and hassle by working with Margarida. **Comment from Chic Decor:** > Thank you Susan, it's been my pleasure working with you in the past and look forward to doing so in the future. ## Selected projects - [Headon Forest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/headon-forest-pj-vj~7298203) - Location: Burlington, ON - Photos: 34 - [Tyandaga](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tyandaga-pj-vj~1565984) - Location: Burlington, ON - Photos: 10 - Description: This project involved a complete renovation of the main floor including: kitchen, living and dining room, hall and powder room.

All accessories are shades of taupe, grey or white to keep the room soothing but are textural for added interest. - [Contemporary New Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-new-build-pj-vj~6291) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 10 - [Roseland Creek](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roseland-creek-pj-vj~6301) - Location: Burlington, ON - Photos: 10 [See all 32 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/chic-decor-pfvwus-pf~687957351) ## Ideabooks - [Laundry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50613364/list/laundry) — 6 ideas - [Outdoor Spaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14824149/list/outdoor-spaces) — 11 ideas - [Wine Cellars](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55155515/list/wine-cellars) — 2 ideas - [Foyer Builtins](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55154782/list/foyer-builtins) — 2 ideas - [Closets](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55154665/list/closets) — 2 ideas - [Den/Office Spaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/45919045/list/den-office-spaces) — 3 ideas - [Kids](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/27286049/list/kids) — 2 ideas [See all 7 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/chicdecor) ## Community Q&A **Q: Wall color and maker?
