TESTIMONIALS


Are you feeling overwhelmed by your stuff? Have you just moved into a new space where none of your furniture seems to fit? Have you recently been blessed by the arrival of a new baby only to find that you are feeling tired, cluttered and desperate for a decoration genie? Look no further. Eco Deco is here! Natasha came into our house and made it a home. After having our baby boy, Peter and I had moved into his duplex where all of our belongings were combined. His a mish mash of antiques/traditional furniture and graffiti art; mine a blend of mid-century modern/middle eastern kilims and carpets. We were sleep-deprived and at rope's end trying to figure out how to coordinate and decorate our space without it being an eye-sore. Enter Natasha! This beautiful woman came in, took a look around, rolled up her sleeves, and got to work. Within a few hours she turned our cluttered space into a hip and welcoming one. She moved all the main furniture around until she found the right flow. Do not be fooled by her slender frame, this woman can move furniture! She then came back for a more detailed fine-tuning where she focused on highlighting our accent pieces and enhancing our colour palette-without a drop of paint! We did not spend a penny on new furniture! Before she left, we even got pointers regarding items that could enhance our space visually, as well as help us keep the space clutter-free. She also designated fixed spots for certain items and recommended that we should discard or store items that did not belong. Needless to say, we love our space and no longer cringe when entering our home. Thank you Eco Deco!

I met Natasha when our condo was in complete renovation, with nothing inside, not even the floors yet. I was thinking of painting some strong colors, accent walls throughout the condo, but she showed me that more subtle and calm colors would be better for us and for resale value. I am very pleased with the colors that we chose together, they give the condo a warm, soothing feeling.

Natasha is truly wonderful to work with, you feel the absolute passion, enthusiasm and energy she has for decorating. It simply made the whole experience--from colors to new furniture--positive and pleasant. Natasha has a wonderful sense of color and works with great feel for balance and harmony. She is talented finding furniture complementing not only your room but also your lifestyle. In all, she has given me a new home with warmth, coziness, personality, and soul. I absolutely love it!

Natasha is one young lady who knows her stuff. She’s not afraid to take a good look at your rooms, and then bring your possessions to a total new look. I would call her an interior landscaper. What she did with what we have is truly amazing! The detail she puts into her work is nothing short of phenomenal. It still amazes us to look at our dining/living room and see it in a different light. She’s made our rooms so much more inviting. Natasha’s coming back!
Sara G., Personal Assistant, Beaconsfield, Québec

I like how Natasha re-organized the rooms in my apartment and made everything look like my home-but much better. She gave a new spin to some of my pieces which I already really liked but didn't know what to do with. Now my choices look consistent. I especially love the changes she made to my favorite room, the bedroom, which now has an “intello-parisienne” look and feel. Every day I enjoy how my home feels balanced and clean but with a new polished look. Makes me look good!

Je tenais à prendre 5 minutes pour vous écrire. Mon jeune fils était presque sous le choc tellement il était agréablement surpris; il voulait même dormir sur le tapis! Il était très content de son nouvel espace de vie, propre à lui.
Marjolaine H., maman, Montréal, Québec

Aucune perte de temps avec Natasha. Elle rentre dans la maison sans rien connaître de nous et en deux temps, trois mouvements tout est transformé.... C'est magique! Je vous la recommande, vous ne serez pas déçu. Merci pour ton dévouement Natasha et au plaisir de retravailler ensemble.
Josée D., coordonnatrice de projets, Hudson, Québec

Natasha is amazing. She found connections among the things I have and put them together in striking ways - the pattern of the Mexican tin cannesters echoed in the chintz slipcover, the shape of a plant as musical as the whalebone Inuit drummer. I find my apartment comfortingly familiar and tantilizingly "new". And it was great fun to spend the day with her; her energy and creativity are contagious.
Wendy A., Intl Project Director, Plateau Mont-Royal, Québec

Je m'émerveille chaque jour devant la nouvelle disposition des meubles … et ça m'incite à ne pas laisser traîner la paperasse.
Céline D., adjointe, ressources humaines, Montréal, Québec

L'expérience a été des plus intéressante, tant au niveau de la démarche que du résultat. Natasha a fait preuve de goût et d'originalité tout en respectant ce que je suis et mon mode de vie. J'adore mon nouvel environnement que je suis fière de faire découvrir à mes visiteurs, mais surtout que j'ai beaucoup de plaisir à habiter.
Denise L., retraitée, St-Lambert, Québec

Nous voulons te remercier pour l'aménagement du sous-sol et des autres détails de la maison. Nous avons levé un verre de vin à ta santé dans notre nouveau coin repos au sous-sol pendant que les filles regardaient un bon film au cinéma maison. Nous apprécions beaucoup le relooking de cette pièce. Mon mari et moi n'en revenons pas des modifications apportées dans le sous-sol. On dirait que nous avons agrandi les pièces sans rénover. Un relooking tout simple nous permet maintenant de profiter de deux pièces au sous-sol jusqu'alors inutilisées. Et ce, sans acheter quoi que ce soit. Un gros merci!
Chantal et François, Fabreville, Québec

Natasha has a very special talent. I was expecting to re-organize one room only, but when she went through my house she started moving furniture, artwork and forgotten mementos around. In a matter of 5 ½ hours, I had a new living room and entrance and she created a wonderful reading area in a bedroom! My house feels different, more spacious and it seems to flow better. What is so special is that she is able to create a completely new look and feel to your home re-arranging only the things you own! A second visit is already planned for our basement. Can’t wait!
Suzanne S., Sales Representative, Montréal, Québec

Natasha a rendu vie à ma maison; elle lui a donné une nouvelle dynamique. Je suis très heureuse des résultats. Je m'y sens bien et je trouve que ma maison est beaucoup plus chaleureuse.
Micheline C., retraitée, Brossard, Québec

En quelques heures Natasha a vraiment aéré notre propriété. Ça a l'air plus grand et les objets décoratifs de même style ont été regroupés ensemble de manière à faire des thèmes. C'est très réussi.
Madeleine L., avocate, Plateau Mont-Royal, Québec

My daughter and I both agree that what you did was nothing short of fantastic. She was truly taken aback by the results…(but a better word would be flabbergasted!) I truly appreciate it. You have quite a talent. Now we will have to schedule the rest of the place....
Louis T., Entrepreneur, Ile-des-Soeurs, Québec

En lisant la présentation du journal Voir, je me suis dit que Natasha aurait un défi... pas un gros : j'habite un petit 3 et 1/2... mais un grand, car l'espace y est restreint. Je ne pouvais m'imaginer une autre disposition que celle que je vois depuis 4 ans... C'était ne pas la connaître... En l'espace de quelques heures, elle a recréé une toute autre atmosphère... Elle ose... Merci Natasha, j'ai déjà commencé à recommander vos services.
Louise G., consultante en finances, Westmount, Québec

I originally only wanted to have a few final touches added to what I had in my living room and bedroom. I pretty much know what I want and didn't feel that I needed a total makeover. Finally Natasha had redone my entrance area, living room, bedroom, bathroom. A great improvement it is. Very nice. Thanks so much!
Dan A., Multimedia Consultant, Montréal, Québec

I have found a whole new moving space since my living and dining rooms were redecorated. Natasha has a great sense of color and design and works with great feel for balance.
Sara C., Artist, Montréal, Québec

Je remercie Natasha pour avoir su interpréter avec goût mes attentes en terme de décoration intérieure. Elle a su réagencer mon salon et réorganiser certaines pièces de mon logement tout en respectant mon style, avec toutefois une touche très personnelle. A l'aide d'un nouveau réaménagement de mes meubles et objets personnels, j'ai pu retrouver un nouveau comfort de vie !
Alexandra N., assistante en communication, Paris, France

I was initially a bit apprehensive (how could somebody else know my taste?), but Natasha worked nothing short of magic on my Manhattan apartment!.... She opened up crowded spaces, rethought color schemes for grouping my artwork, moved furniture, repositioned almost everything–but successfully changed the entire look and feel of my place! It feels bigger, looks much better, and best of all...she did this using all my existing belongings, so no big cash outlay required!
Ishaan S., Management Consultant, New York, New York

J'étais dépassée par mon déménagement. Je suis passée d'un appart très compartimenté à un espace très grand avec peu de divisions. Nous avons revu ensemble les objets auxquels je tenais et puis nous avons faits quelques remaniements ensemble jusqu'au moment où tout semblait rentrer naturellement. Elle m'a donné quelques précieux conseils que depuis j'applique toujours avec la même satisfaction. J'étais très contente du résultat et n'ai eu que des compliments par la suite.
Isabelle S., directrice de compte, Montréal, Québec

I had been living in this furnished apartment for nearly six months when Natasha transformed what was a functional space for sleeping and studying into a comfortable and attractive bedroom. She sensed immediately that the space could be improved using existing furniture and accessories–something I didn’t have the instincts to detect. Shifting furniture, removing items, and making ingenius use of accessories, e.g. duvet cover thrown over an "aging" armchair, Natasha truly enhanced the most significant room in my apartment. The room looks lovely!

En quelques heures, Natasha a remis de l’ordre dans mon loft qu’elle a merveilleusement transformé sous mes yeux. Lorsque je me suis reveillé le lendemain, je me suis senti en harmonie totale avec mon nouvel espace de vie.
Claude G., avocat, Montréal, Québec

Natasha is someone with a rare talent. She is able to walk into a room for the first time and assess both the space and aesthetic objects in the room and the fine relationship between them. Our apartment looks more beautiful and functional, despite the fact that it is strewn with kiddy toys and furniture. Thanks Natasha!
Priyanka P., Full-time Mother, New York, New York

Natasha not only possesses a natural knack for filling in visual gaps in a home but she also knows when to leave a space with breathing room. I left her to my house one morning and returned in the afternoon to a completely different living room. By shifting a few of the items already in the space and adding some pieces from other rooms or storage, the place was utterly transformed! Better yet, not a single new item was purchased.
