I’m so pleased with 417interiordesign’s results. Marika gave us the confidence to create a unique design for our apartment in the south of France. We wanted something in tune with the town, tasteful but a little bold. Marika listened carefully and was highly collaborative. She is a great problem solver and had great ideas to help me solve space shortages. Given the circumstances, we did most of the engagement online, but Marika ensured I lost nothing in the process. The results are brilliant! More...
What’s your interior design process?
A free video call so you can meet me and I can get a little more detail about your needs and discuss next steps. Using that information, I will write up a quote for you. From there, we will have several more video calls to tour your house and formulate a plan, including central themes and colours. From there, I can provide a 3d render of the proposed design for your approval. Which the painters and builders can use to bring your dream to life.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
I love all design styles from modern to retro, industrial to boho.
What do you love most about your job?
I love engaging with people and understanding their needs and dreams.
What inspired you to start your own business?
With current trends moving towards online business, I believe that the future of design is an online one. I believe it provides greater flexibility and creativity, while still providing dialogue with my clients. But, there are very few interior design firms that have an online element, thereby giving me the inspiration to start this new service for you.
Why should our clients choose you?
I provide an online creative and adaptable design process that I will carefully suit to the client. I have had my diploma for 11 years, and most recently designed a house in the Noosa that won the 'Sunshine Coast Chapter Interior Design Award'.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
