Residential Interior Designers

I am new to hiring a designer, so I want to praise Cezara Atelier for the excellent job she did for us. She took the time to come to our house and work with my teenage daughter through her likes and dislikes. She spent hours with her to discuss my daughter's room, and after that meeting, she provided us with two great options for her room.
Her designs were fresh and tailored to my daughter's requests.
I am so happy to have found them through Bark.
Excellent professional with a keen eye for design and a great customer focus. Communication was always polite and constant, with great attention to detail, practicality, and aesthetics.

My Interior Design Process: A tailored, bespoke approach to every space

I believe that great interior design should be both beautiful and functional, reflecting the unique personality and needs of each client. My process is collaborative, detail-oriented, and ensures that every project—whether a single-room refresh or a full-scale renovation—is executed seamlessly.

Step-by-Step Design Process:

1. Initial Consultation & Briefing

We start with a discovery call or meeting to get to know each other and to understand your vision, lifestyle, and specific needs.
We will discuss your style preferences, budget, and timeline.
We will also review and discuss any inspiration, mood boards, or existing architectural elements.

2. Concept Development & Space Planning

Create mood boards and preliminary sketches to explore design directions.
Optimize layouts to ensure the best functionality and flow.
Identify key elements such as color schemes, materials, and furnishings.
Your input will be seeked and valued throughout each stage to ensure seamless collaboration.

3. Detailed Design & Material Selection

Develop detailed 2D plans and 3D visualizations (using Revit, Enscape, and AutoCAD) to bring the design to life.
Curate furniture, fixtures, and finishes (FF&E) tailored to your style and budget.
Present refined selections for feedback and adjustments.

4. Procurement & Project Coordination
Source and order approved materials, furniture, and accessories.
Liaise with contractors, suppliers, and artisans to ensure smooth execution.
Provide site visits and oversee installations for quality assurance (if included in the quote and feasible re distance).

5. Final Styling & Completion

Add the final styling touches to bring warmth and personality to the space.
Conduct a final walkthrough to ensure everything is completed to your satisfaction.
Deliver a beautifully designed space that aligns with your vision!

Whether you're looking for a modern, minimalistic aesthetic or a rich, layered interior, I provide a hands-on, client-focused approach to ensure a seamless experience from start to finish.

I believe every space should be a true reflection of its owner, which is why I tailor each project to my clients’ unique tastes, needs, and lifestyles. Rather than sticking to a single design style, I take a flexible, thoughtful approach—creating interiors that are both visually stunning and highly functional.

Some of the styles I specialize in:

Modern & Minimalist – Clean lines, neutral palettes, and a focus on simplicity.

Contemporary – A blend of modern trends with refined elegance and attention to detail.

Industrial – Exposed materials, raw textures, and urban sophistication.

Scandinavian – Light, airy spaces with natural textures and a cozy, inviting feel.

Bohemian & Eclectic – Artistic, layered interiors full of character and personal expression.

Classic & Traditional – Elegant detailing, rich textures, and timeless charm.

Mid-Century Modern – Retro influences combined with sleek, functional design.

Luxury & High-End Residential – Bespoke interiors with premium finishes and meticulous craftsmanship.

Japandi & Wabi-Sabi – A harmonious blend of Japanese simplicity and Scandinavian warmth.

I also enjoy blending elements from different styles to craft truly one-of-a-kind spaces that feel both curated and personal. Whether you're looking for a full home transformation, a commercial upgrade, or a simple refresh, I’ll work closely with you to bring your vision to life.

I love the ability to transform ideas into tangible, meaningful spaces that enhance people's lives. Whether it's designing a home that perfectly reflects a client's lifestyle, revitalizing a community space, or creating functional yet inspiring interiors, I find immense satisfaction in bringing visions to life and seeing my clients happy with the outcomes.

Beyond the design itself, I thrive on the problem-solving aspect of architecture and interior design—navigating constraints, refining details, and ensuring every project is both beautiful and practical. I also truly value the collaborative process—working closely with clients, consultants, and contractors to make each project a success.

Most of all, I love that my work is never stagnant. Every project is a new challenge and a new story, allowing me to continuously learn, innovate, and push creative boundaries. Seeing a finished space come to life and knowing I’ve made a lasting impact is the most rewarding part of what I do.






My decision to start my own business was driven by a desire for creative freedom, meaningful collaborations, and a more personalized approach to design. Throughout my career, I’ve worked on diverse projects across residential, commercial, education, and community sectors, and I wanted to bring that expertise directly to clients in a way that felt more hands-on and tailored.

I was inspired by the idea of not just designing spaces, but creating experiences that truly reflect each client’s vision and needs. I love having the flexibility to explore unique design solutions, push creative boundaries, and blend architecture with interior design seamlessly.

Additionally, starting my own business allowed me to build genuine relationships—with clients, contractors, and other creatives—where collaboration is at the heart of every project. Being able to work on projects I’m passionate about while maintaining high-quality, detail-oriented design is incredibly fulfilling.

Clients should choose me because I pour my heart and soul into every project. Design isn’t just my job—it’s my passion, and I truly believe that well-designed spaces have the power to transform the way we live, work, play and feel.

What makes working with me different?
✨ I listen, really listen. Every project starts with understanding your vision, needs, and personality so I can create a space that feels uniquely yours.
✨ I bridge creativity and technical expertise. With a background in architecture and interior design, I bring both big-picture thinking and meticulous attention to detail—ensuring designs that are not just stunning but also practical and buildable.
✨ I adapt to your style, not the other way around and I find intelligent ways to integrate your vision. Whether you love sleek modern minimalism, cozy eclectic vibes, or timeless elegance, I tailor each design to reflect you—not just trends.
✨ I make the process seamless. With experience across residential, commercial, and community projects, I understand how to navigate everything from planning permits to contractor coordination—taking the stress off your shoulders.
✨ I genuinely care. I build lasting relationships with my clients, treating every project with the same dedication as if it were my own home or business.

If you're looking for a designer who will fully invest in your project, bring creativity and problem-solving to the table, and make the process enjoyable, let's chat! I’d love to help bring your vision to life.
