“We hired Aspire Design Group just as Christine Da Costa and Maria Perketa were joining forces and beginning their design firm together in September 2021.
My husband and I were ready to renovate our kitchen and laundry room and chose the Luxury Full Service Interior Design Plan that Aspire offered. Christine and Maria listened to our ideas, came up with an extensive design plan including detailed drawings and a vision board. They pushed me out of my comfort zone…in a good way! We chose a black and white kitchen with warm accents (hello walnut shelving!) and a soft wash of pink in our new laundry room. The kitchen now looks twice the size and functions seamlessly and the new laundry room has mega-storage including a dog wash bath for our sweet Golden Retriever. Their Full Service Plan also included ordering all materials, hiring and working with the construction team, multiple home visits, follow-up calls and emails and even personal shopping with us. Although the job took longer than anticipated due to some issues during Covid, Christine and Maria persevered to ensure we got the kitchen of our dreams! Our space went from 1990s drab to 2022 fab! Most importantly, we love our new kitchen and enjoy it every day!

“Christine was a pleasure to work with for our home transformation. We do not use that word lightly for what was created in our new living space. Christine made everything possible from our initial meeting, explaining her extensive services, to the beautifully finished work of art. In order for her to make this a successful renovation, she had us create a vision board right at the beginning of the project.
Christine’s specialty for the smallest of accents in a room to the colour palettes she chose is what brought our home to life. We are so thrilled to live in a new beautifully designed home where we are excited to entertain our family and friends. We called our project “80’s Be Gone” and that couldn’t be more accurate!
Christine is more than a designer and decorator she is a curator of change.”

We used Christine’s ‘Designer for A Day Package’ to help us transform our dining room and convert our formal living room into a main floor office. We had a concept of what we wanted and with Christine’s consultation, together we developed a great plan for a fantastic space.
She was able to quickly understand our needs and her expertise helped enhance our ideas in ways we never would have considered. She showed us creative solutions to problems we didn’t even realize we were going to have.
Christine’s creativity transformed our basic plan into a true vision and her professional support and imagination helped us find the right colours, fixtures, and furnishings. Christine put us on the right track - we love the layout, the wall colours, drapery, and our favourite thing is the beautiful chandelier that looks stunning over our new dining table. We finished our rooms off with some lovely accent pieces that we purchased at her ‘Décor by Christine Online Shop’.
We love our new space, and we are so happy with the support we got with the ‘Designer for A Day Package’!

“We contacted Christine immediately once we decided on renovating our powder room, kids bathroom and mudroom flooring. She already had a strong grasp on our style and risk tolerance (for finishes and decor) from our work together in 2017 when she helped with a major main floor renovation. She listened to our ideas, presented some great "mood boards" and off we went - she sourced all components quickly and was very responsive whenever we had a question or concern. The bathrooms and mudroom floor look amazing and we're so happy with how it turned out. I would not hesitate to hire her again for our next phase of home renovations.”
