Testimonials

“I always seem to have trouble narrowing down colour selections, so during a recent kitchen reno I hired Mulberry Interiors to consult on the final colour scheme. In my opinion this was time and money well spent. Marguerite’s tasteful and creative suggestions provided me with an entire complementary palette, from baseboards to ceiling. I will certainly call her again for future projects.”

“Marguerite showed a great eye for colour and placement of our special pieces, an exceptional ability to understand our needs and desires, a positive outlook, attention to detail, flexibility and is fun to work with. We felt as if were a key part of the whole design process. Marguerite helped us with both our master bedroom and formal living room. We have had many compliments from family and friends on the way these rooms turned out. I’m confident in recommending Marguerite to anyone that asks.”

“Our experience with Mulberry Interiors was a very positive one. We had struggled for years with indecision about how to finish our home to our mutual satisfaction. My husband’s design sense is very different from my own. Over the years this has resulted in a slew of unfinished projects, simply because we were unable to agree on a choice. Calling in Marguerite Roberts of Mulberry Interiors was a great help to us. We discussed the various ideas we both had as to how several situations could be resolved. Without imposing her own taste on our home, we were able to reach compromise solutions on several projects. We now have a list of paint colour choices that we can live with so that we can proceed with our painting. We also finally have drapes in the main rooms of our home. Marguerite also helped us to decide which inherited pieces to keep and which to give to other family members. This has greatly decreased the clutter in our relatively small home. We feel that we are now moving ahead and are much less frustrated with the state of our home. Thank you, Mulberry Interiors.”

“Marguerite assisted with a colour consultation as well as design ideas for my 1940’s tired house that likely hadn’t been painted since it was built! She not only provided colours that complemented the home, but was also able to enlighten me on the fine elements of our home and how to feature them. My humble abode became a tiny, perfect palace, thanks to Marguerite! Thanks Marguerite for your insight, sense of humour and fabulous ideas!”

“We am very pleased to recommend Mulberry Interiors for your next design project. Marguerite formulated ideas and colour schemes that I hadn’t thought of. She also made sure to include our ideas. We felt that our tastes were included and listened to. Our project was completed in a timely manner and we are thrilled with the outcome. We highly endorse Marguerite and her Mulberry Interiors team.”

“Marguerite has provided my husband and I with colour consultation advice for our first home. She made several suggestions on how to update some of our hand-me-down furniture, as well as where it would be best placed. We plan to work with her again on future projects.”

“We are so happy with the design assistance that we received by enlisting Mulberry Interiors. The designer, Marguerite Roberts, helped us with blinds for our home. We chose Hunter Douglas Silhouette shades throughout, and we love them. She also answered many of our general design questions as to where to place our existing furniture. She also gave us a paint colour consultation specifying Benjamin Moore colours for our up-coming painting project. We will be sure to use her assistance in future.”

Margaret Winslow, Oakville

“Marguerite recently gave me design advice for my living room. She produced a lovely design plan based on my requirements and her excellent design and colour sense. The custom draperies and furniture took the living room from nice to something really special. She also had a family heirloom reupholstered so that it can now be used in a main room, rather than tucked away in the back bedroom. She also made a big difference in the master bedroom with the choice of a gorgeous wallpaper. That room was totally transformed. It was a joy working with Marguerite and I would heartily recommend her for any decor project. “

E. W., Oakville

“We had procrastinated for quite some time before calling an interior designer. We found Mulberry Interiors on the internet, and liked what we saw. The designer, Marguerite Roberts, arrived and we began to chat about various potential projects throughout our home. We planned to stay in our home at least another five years so Marguerite explained the value in upgrading flooring, some of our furniture and installing the same type of blinds in every room, rather than the “found it on sale” mismatch that we were currently living with. We now have hard-wearing laminate that can withstand our large dog, we have a dining room set that can accommodate our many guests and hold our family china pieces, and we chose Hunter Douglas Duette shades for their clean looks and energy efficiency. The budget for all this was reasonable considering that there were a lot of things installed. When we actually do decide to move, we are confident that we will have less preparation to do to ready our home to sell.”

Grant Wainwright, Mississauga

“Marguerite Roberts of Mulberry Interiors was professional and made decisions almost stress free “The dining room was in desperate need of a window treatment, but this also had to work with a piece of art of many colours. Marguerite helped to choose the fabric for custom drapes that complmented the art work and made the dining room look fantastic. Looking forward to having her assistance again in the near future with several more rooms that need to be updated and with that touch of class.”

Mulberry gave me style and comfort!

“With a very small budget, I asked Marguerite for help in improving our older home. She was invaluable in choosing beautiful colours I loved for walls, kitchen counters & tiles, and installing a staircase/hall runner. A few years later, with a slightly larger house & budget, Mulberry helped choose several more paint colours and install wool rugs for living & dining room, a laminate floor in the basement, & a leather sectional sofa. Marguerite has a great sense of the customer’s vision, and works hard to pull together all the design elements on time and on budget. My only regret now is that I’m spending too much time lounging in my cozy living room! “

“Draperies, Wallpaper, Faux Finish and Colour Coordination I desperately needed to update my Front Entrance, Kitchen, Diningroom, Livingroom, Library and Master Bedroom. From start to finish my experience with Mulberry Interiors was great. Marguerite listened to me and understood early on what I really wanted. She helped me to overcome my tendancy to be very safe and conservative with colour and design, and I couldn’t have been happier. I tried two other decorators before settling on Marguerite because I felt that she was prepared to work with me, rather than try to push her taste on me or the “trend du jour”. She has a terrific sense of colour, and combined different fabrics and textures which I would never have done on my or own.

If it weren’t for Marguerite I probably would have ended up spending an awful of a lot of money and hating a faux finish I was trying to get done in my front entrance. The painter/faux finisher kept insisting that I accept her idea of what would looked good. Marguerite stepped in and showed the faux finisher exactly what I wanted on a sample board and I was thrilled with the result.

I get so many compliments, and people always comment on how every room flows into the next yet each room is quite different!

I highly recommend Marguerite from Mulberry Interiors, and I plan on using her again when we build our new home.”

Marguerite Roberts was helpful and timely at all stages of the project.

“At the drafting stage she pointed out some problem sightlines (eg from the Great Room to the bathroom) that were able to be appropriately rectified prior to construction. During framing, she suggested adding sconce lights to key areas that have embellished our finished home. She also made the entire experience of choosing lights & appliances to be manageable and pleasurable by taking us to the appropriate & knowledgeable retailers and walking us through the process. We had a few colours in mind, and she was able to expand that to create a pleasing finish that has been complimented on by all visitors. We had two brainstorming sessions with Marguerite and the cabinetmaker which were enjoyable for all, and invaluable. She provided us with Hunter Douglas blinds which met our complex needs and desires, while adding beauty to the rooms. The fitting of the blinds had also been done in an expert manner. Marguerite was prompt and thorough with all the information that she provided. She is very creative and her projects are very client-centered.”
