Maria is a mind reader.. literally! And it kind of comes effortless to her. She not only managed to read my mind right from when she presented the mood board for us but also produced designs for our entire house that looked like a dream come true.
I consider me & my husband a difficult team to please & Maria managed to please us both equally well with the choice of colors & layout.
Apart from her inherent abilities at designing & striking a chord with her clients, she is also very professional & easy to work with at all times.
I can go on & on with this Review as i hold so much appreciation for Maria but those who have worked with her will surely agree with me 100%
While our project is not yet completed I had already recommended her to all & anyone in need of a good interior designer.
Best wishes Maria & Team!

Julia Rabinovich
To be honest I had my doubts in the beginning because it was unusual that they also provide painting service. But then I received a mood board, it has caught exactly style I imagined. Maria had caught the image just from a simple call! We have completed work in my studio Apt right now, like it really... and still remember how we began. Thanks! More...

Maximilian Rodriguez
I was impressed by their attention to details after I received a first draft of the design. Given my poor experience with this type of work, they guided me throughout the whole process and addressed every concern I had right after I brought it up.

Maya Chan
This was our first time buying a property and we didn’t have big budget for remodeling it. And while my husband and I tried to figure what to do, Raphaelle and Anya suggested simple solution to make our home welcome, by changing light and paint, and choosing some furniture pieces we would never find without them. It saved lots of time and money. We would not hesitate to recommend them More...

Roberta Pavoletti
I have met them in 2015 for my living room renovation. They did just fine. I still love these curtains and the sofa they helped me to choose. I've bought new TV since then and the green painted wall still works, as they predicted. Thanks! More...

Thank you so much for your review, Roberta. Was wonderful working with you
What’s your interior design process?
The process is very straightforward.
First - I receive a request from a client regarding the space he wants to design and gather information about the client’s personality and lifestyle.
Then I either visit the space or gather as much information about the site as possible.
Finally, I give the client a proposal that covers the scope of work, timeline and price for this scope and we sign a contract.
After that, I develop a concept of the space and approve it with a client, using mood boards and sketches, /3D visualizations to present the future look for your space.
After that, everything depends on the particular contract, as I can just deliver the final concept to you, or I can start implementing it, if you would like me to cover everything from A to Z.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
Everything really depends on the particular client request. We mainly do transitional style and we also good at colonial, bohemian, french country, contemporary, victorian and vintage. We use a lot of textures and colors, and always eco-friendly materials.
What do you love most about your job?
To see when the image becoming reality and how it frames our client lifestyle.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Well, it was a long way. But mainly the level of freedom it gives and the fact it always makes you go better and further.
Why should our clients choose you?
We don’t have hidden fees and give a transparent work process to a client. We also never use the same concept twice as every client is unique, so we deliver exclusive solutions that match your personality and lifestyle.
