TESTIMONIALS
creativity & customized design solutions tailored to you
“We first reached out to Soda Pop Design for our project because we wanted a unique design that felt like “us”. When looking at other design firms, their portfolios were beautiful, but their projects all looked similar to one anther. We could see that each Soda Pop design was unique to that project. Then I spoke to Cynthia on the phone and immediately felt that she understood who we were and what we were looking for. It was clear that we would have a design that was right for our family, made the best use of our space, and that whatever was designed could be built.
I cannot overstate how wonderful our experience was. We felt completely taken care of from the first phone call to the end of the project. Cynthia created a design for us that blew away any expectations we had. The construction process was far less stressful knowing that the Soda Pop team was there to handle any issue and answer all of our questions. They are so supportive and responsive. And we felt like they were just as excited about the project as we were. We still, months after the completion of the renovation, have not got over how beautiful and functional our home is.
We feel so lucky to have worked with Cynthia and Soda Pop team. They are talented, wonderful people who made the space we live in absolutely perfect for us and more beautiful than we thought possible.”

“We hired Soda Pop Design to plan our renovation – 2650 sq ft plus basement. Cynthia brought energy and enthusiasm to the project. We were concerned about light and space - Cynthia added skylights, designed built-ins, and found creative ways of lighting some of the rooms. We are very happy with the final result.”

“My wife and I hired Cynthia and Soda Pop Design Inc. as design consultants on the build and decorating of our new home. Before beginning construction, we questioned if we would need a designer as we both thought we knew what we wanted and that we'd be capable of coordinating the design details of our project. Shortly after construction began, we realized there were more details than originally anticipated and after interviewing some designers, we decided to work with Cynthia. This proved to be a great decision as Cynthia quickly identified what our style and preferences were and then applied her creativity and talent to our home. She was amazing under pressure, often working within very tight timelines and was determined that we were elated with every room in the house. She made herself available whenever needed and kept us on course and within our budget. It's important to note that Cynthia worked very well with our builder too which I've heard is often the biggest challenge when working with a designer.
We love what Cynthia helped us to accomplish in our home and would highly recommend her and Soda Pop to anyone requiring design services.
Thanks for everything Cynthia!”

Cynthia and her team have been wonderful to work with! We have completed several projects with Soda Pop Design (both large and small) and have been thrilled with the results. The design process was collaborative and enjoyable from start to finish. Cynthia brings an abundance of experience to the design table, and her energy and passion are obvious. All of our projects with Soda Pop Design were finished on time and on budget. I highly recommend Cynthia for all of your design needs.

We are renovating two bathrooms and our kitchen. We have a great contractor but all the design decisions are up to us and it very quickly became challenging to make final decisions on tile, fixtures, hardware, furniture, paint etc etc. I reached out to Cynthia and immediately felt relief. In two hours we went through the house and she gave me her honest opinion about my choices and gave me the confidence to continue with my plans or consider options that never would have occurred to me. It feels great to move forward knowing it will result in a cohesive look and I would highly recommend picking her brain for any of your design dilemmas.

Cynthia is amazing! Prior to meeting for our initial 2 hour consultation, she assured me that the meeting would provide lots of specific ideas for furnishing and decorating our home. She did not disappoint! She was able to look at each room and make recommendations for layout, dimensions, colours and specific furniture items (which she showed us on her phone). Cynthia also provides a document of her notes after the initial meeting so that clients have clear direction. She’s efficient and fun to work with! Highly recommend.

Cynthia is the most professional designer that I have ever met. She listened to our vision, our ideas and goals. Cynthia was also very patient and open to our ideas and worked with us to pin point exactly what we wanted. We love her taste and her ability to be different. Her brain is very rare and full of talent . Her beautiful personalty lights the room and she really cares about you and wants everything to be perfect. Her knowledge is gold and style is distinct, you know when Cynthia styled your house. I highly highly recommend Soda Pop Design. High quality service, materials and customer service, unmatched.

I fell in love with a home which was featured in the Spring 2018 Issue of Toronto Home Magazine and renovated by Cynthia Soda. After I purchased my home, I decided to give her a call. I am so happy to be working with her as she is absolutely amazing! During the initial consultation, Cynthia immediately zeroed in on what needed to be done and subsequently provided me with various options to choose from. Cynthia has a great eye for design and detail. She has made the whole process extremely enjoyable. I couldn't have done it without her!

Cynthia Soda and her team are amazing. My husband and I never had to worry about a thing. She put together all the pieces and made it too easy for us. Everyone that comes to our kitchen and master bath feel like they have stepped into a magazine. I thought having our home renovated was going to be a big headache, but working with Cynthia it's the best thing we ever did for our home. Her attention to detail, her quick mind, kindness, and enthusium shows in the high quality of her work. I'm already saving up for my next project with her.

Simply put, Cynthia and her team are exceptional. Their attention to detail, the high quality and unique design, the respect and care for the client; are all qualities they exceed. After dealing with several high-end design firms in the past, I can safely say Soda Pop Design is second to none. What a fantastic pleasure it was working with their team and I look forward to our next project together.

Hiring Soda [Pop] Design, was the best decision of our lives. After many years of living in the builder style kitchen my husband and I decided to hire an Interior Designer. Cynthia came to our home for a consultation. We told her we did not want a traditional kitchen, and would love lots of drawers and a pantry. After our two hour meeting we hired her on the spot. She has designed our dream kitchen and we couldn't be happier.
Her contractor and crew we're awesome. We left all the decision making to her. Cynthia would always give us two or three options and we would always tell her that "we trust her vision!" We are so glad that we did because now we are in 'OUR DREAM KITCHEN!!!!'
Thank you Cynthia what an amazing team you have!

We hired Soda Pop Design to help us redesign our first floor, with a primary focus on a complete renovation of our kitchen and the removal of two walls. Cynthia came up with two wonderful options to open up our space. In fact, they were both such great layout options that we had a hard time choosing between the two! Cynthia took the time to speak to us about our needs and go over the numerous images saved to our Houzz idea books.
Cynthia has a wonderful flair for design and sourced some lovely design elements for our kitchen, but was also able to work with finishes that we selected on our own with her consultation. Her attention to detail is amazing and provided our kitchen "with that little something extra." Cynthia presented some very creative design ideas that we would have never thought of on our own. We just wish we had the budget to execute on all of them!
Cynthia is very professional, organized and responsive. She did a wonderful job meeting all timelines. However, we were a bit disappointed that the final budget remained the same despite the exclusion of some of the large elements originally included in the quote. My understanding is that the removal of these areas did not have much impact on the overall picture (ie. budget). This was our first experience working with a designer, so perhaps this is the nature of the design world -- live and learn.
Overall, we were very happy with designs provided and were excited to see them come to life. We are thrilled with the final product and are thoroughly enjoying our new space!

If you are in need of an Interior Design professional, call Cynthia at Soda Pop Design Inc. She's the best!
I first worked with Cynthia on a total basement renovation in a house we purchased in 2015. In 2017, my plan was to renovate the existing Victorian style fireplace mantel and wall units (so very dated - see attached before photo) in our family room off the kitchen. At the same time, I wanted to update the lighting system and fixtures in both rooms. So, without hesitation, I called Cynthia again to provide design ideas and plans.
Like before, Cynthia was totally receptive to my vision of the fireplace and wall units and then offered her own ideas to enhance my vision...like the type and colour of stone for the fireplace mantel as well as design and functional items that had not occurred to me. As for the lighting system and fixtures, Cynthia provided lots of options...in terms of both selection and price range. She made the whole design and planning process so easy. In addition, she arranged for top-notch contractors (shout out to Soda Pop Construction, A. Scott Electric, Colclo Custom Woodworking and Fine Finish Wall Systems) to carry out the work.
Cynthia helped to make my vision a reality. I am extremely happy (like happy dance, happy) with end product and so enjoy being in our renovated family room - see attached after photo. I have one more renovation project pending and I will be calling on Cynthia once again for help with the design and planning process. Thank you again Cynthia!

Cynthia worked with us from start to finish as we gutted our 3 bedroom condo and took down all interior walls. She gave us 3 great designs to choose from and then walked us through every step of the renovation, helping us make design selections, overseeing the renovator, even working with a difficult condo board! Her ideas are great and she understood our needs. Great to work with!! We highly recommend Soda Pop Designs!!

If you wish to work with a highly enthusiastic, creative, and engaged designer then I highly recommend Cynthia Soda and Soda Pop Design Inc.

The customer service & exception to detail is a major plus when working with Soda Pop Design.
All the hassel of trying to find something you need for your room & then to find it at a reasonable price, is a breeze with Soda Pop Design. They take your thoughts & make them come to life. I found only total professionalism with the designer & yet a friendly co-operative manner was there right from the start.
My kitchen turned out just the way I wanted with even more items added/changed to complete my kitchen like I had never thought would work but it does beyond my expectations. Now when people come over they rave about my fabulous kitchen & who did the work. I tell them "Soda Pop Design" you have to hire them its well worth it!!

Cynthia is a very professional designer who really cares about her clients needs and personal taste. She does not design for herself, but rather caters her designs to reflect the personality and functionality of her clients and their lifestyle. Cynthia was very helpful in assisting my wife and I on the use space in our house and, thanks to her, we have the home we have always wanted with a better layout than originally planned. My wife and I would recommend SodaPop Design Inc. and have recommended Cynthia to all of our friends and family. She is a very talented designer - you will not be disappointed.

We hired this Company to design our new kitchen. Our kitchen was completely gutted and a retaining wall taken down for expansion. The designs presented to us were incredible. We were shocked at the level of detail included. The design was more than we could have wished for. The Company made some great suggestions such as removing the bulkhead to extend the height of the cabinetry, adding more glass door pantry space, an extended countertop for a seating area, a 7' island with under cabinets for more storage and a stunning granite top. They were so professional and prepared all the appropriate paperwork required for the permits required, handled and organized the contractors, electricians, plumbers etc. Every detail was handled taking the stress out of it for us. We went from a disfunctional 1980's ugly kitchen to a modern, georgous showpiece. I would definately recommend this Company to anyone. They were so easy to work with and always on call with any questions we had, Thanks so much Soda Pop Designs and especially to Cynthia.

Gail and I would like to thank you Cynthia, and your crew, for the beautiful work that you have done on our condo. The creativity in your design is very refreshing. We love to come home every day to such a lovely place. During construction, everyone was so attentive to our wishes and concerns, as well as being very easy to deal with. We would easily recommend you and your company to any of our family and friends in need of your services. Thanks again.
