Absolutely love receiving pictures from clients. This work in progress in a beautiful Victorian House in Maryland put a smile on my face😊 We used vibrant colours from to create a bold and happy atmosphere. The result is stunning! And look at this mural wallpaper framed.. such a feature! The clients went above and beyond and built this amazing dog crate with storage under the stairs for their super cute dog. Love it. Amazing what you’ve done it looks beautiful. And thanks for the pictures 😊

Just a couple of visuals of a recent bathroom project I’ve worked on for a lovely client in a super pretty cottage in Rye. The room has low ceiling with awkward sloping walls, so I went for vertical and thin wall tiles to visually elongate the ceiling height, making it seem taller. And kept one colour throughout the room to create a cohesive look using different tones for textures and depth.

I’m taking advantage of a slightly calmer day to share a couple of pictures of a beautiful and fun project I worked on recently for a lovely couple who moved back in the U.S. Thanks for the lovely pictures, it looks so beautiful and I can’t wait to see the room when the new Ikat fabric blinds will be up. We used the vibrant Cook’s Blue colour from and it looks stunning! Bold colour for a happy home💕

Sneak peek of a recent exciting project I worked on for a lovely couple who moved back in the US. We found a way together to update an old ceiling fan light by replacing the not so attractive old shades with these beautiful vintage brass and glass hexagon shades and they had the idea of painting the wings in a fresh green colour to go with the rest of the scheme, which I think looks stunning! And the room has now lots of character as it’s been freshly painted in a beautiful vibrant blue. Waiting for the roman blinds to arrive, can’t wait to see it finished. Thanks for the picture, so nice to see it all coming together 💛

Hello colourful design💛 I had such fun creating this vibrant design for a front porch of a Victorian house in the US. I love what colours can do to a space

Early morning view from my bed today. If you know me, you know that I’m not a morning person and will never be! I need very little natural light or moody light to open my eyes slowly and it’s been like this since I was a teenager haha. Anyway, just love seeing the stripe of day light coming at the side of the blind and the shadows that appear on the walls

Found this stunning farm for a few days for the two of us. Such a magic place, surrounded by olive trees and the sound of cicadas. The interior is just amazing, decorated with such great taste, so many details to look at. I absolutely love it💛💛 🌴

Mid century mixed with boho in a very colourful scheme! A lovely living room project for a client based in South East London

Here is a double reception room for a lovely customer that I completed for It was quite challenging as it was a long rectangular room that needed two zones but also enough space to walk through the back of the room to access the kitchen and of course to stay on the client’s budget. I love the dark Inchyra blue walls with the navy blue sofas and touches of soft pink💕 is a professional and affordable online interior design service and easy to use and suits any budget. Thanks, you’re the best😊

Love these pictures of Cuba. Exactly 5 years ago today we were there💕 It’s so important to decorate your home with things you love, things that make you happy! Next, I really have to find a lampshade for this bulb but I’m hesitating between about 20 options I love😅

Happy national decoration month! Some small details I absolutely love in our bedroom. The velvet roman blind from , the victorian lace bed cover that I used as a curtain, the beautiful brass round mirrors from and more. This tiny bedroom was painted all in one colour to create this seamless transition from walls to the ceiling, to draw the eyes upward and to make this room look bigger. The colour is Moleskin from , a strong neutral colour that brings so much warmth.

I came across a picture of this room today before transformation..swipe to the right to see it. YES, the layout of a room is such an important factor. I’d say it’s the first thing to tackle before even thinking about the style, colour scheme, etc ❤️

I’ve recently work on a lovely project for such a great customer for I’ve loved working with this amazing client and I’m very much looking forward to seeing some photos when the rooms are finished😊. Thanks to MBR, you’re the best!

Our Story


I am a Swiss national with a background in high-end property management and extensive experience organising and overseeing refurbishments and renovations.

In 2015, I realised my dream and graduated as an interior designer from KLC, London. After having worked few years for interior design companies I decided to set up as a freelancer to give me a wider palette of work options. I work now on my own projects as well as freelance contracts with well known interior designers in London.

What`s my style? Hard to say. In to-the-point Geneva it was all industrial masculine raw wood and metal, but in the exciting madness of London, it’s more diverse, mixing modes and materials for drama and, yes, magic. My home here is becoming a sanctuary against the tumult, pollution and train strikes of the metropolis.

​How did I design my haven? Rich dark hues as a background for intimate drama, and a mix of warm coloured soft furnishings for cosiness and comfort. I can assure you, a beige background wouldn’t have the same effect!
