What our clients say

  • ☆☆☆☆☆

    Trusting Merav to get our home interiors which included quite a lot of remodel was one of the best decision after purchasing our new home. Besides her highest professionalism during the entire process there were so many instances which made this journey with her so interesting and endearing. What was best was her ability to hear us out be it in our Abstract vision or sometimes the fiscal constraints which made the process so much relaxing. Not only will we recommend her in a heartbeat but also look forward to engaging with her in our future projects

    Merav is not only a true professional with a wonderful sense of taste and style, but an absolute pleasure to work with! I had recently moved to Hong Kong and Merav helped me furnish and decorate my home down into the smallest details. I receive compliments on the decor to this day and absolutely love what she has achieved.

    Merav has been a wonderful person to work with, especially when it came to my home. She understood my vision and took the stress off actually executing plans. She has helped me create a space that is beautiful, inviting, and feels like home. I would work with her again 100% as I know she would over exceed any expectations.

02

I’m new to the Bay Area — do you work with expats or renters?

Absolutely. As a Bay Area interior designer with an international background, Merav works with expats all the time — including renters. We know how to make a place feel like home, fast.

03

Do you offer interior design consulting for smaller projects?

Yes. If you don’t need full-service design, we offer hourly sessions and design reviews to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. It’s a great option if you’re managing the project yourself.

04

What’s the difference between decorating and full interior design?

Interior decorating is perfect if the structure’s set but the style is off — we help with furniture, colours, lighting, and layout. Interior design services go deeper, covering space planning, renovations, materials, and project management.
