My Philosophy
I am an Interior Designer who believe that interiors and architecture should work naturally around the client.
I, as a designer, recognize that each project is an individual expression of my client’s unique personality. Understanding your values and artistic preferences is essential for me to create personalised interior designs that are comfortable, eco-friendly and reflect your lifestyles.
For MINARCH STUDIO design is art, psychology and biology together. This is why I have started doing Interior Design based on Psychology, and taking inspiration from client's lifestyle and manifest for life. My holistic approach of Design begins when I delve deep into the heart and soul of my clients to learn as much as I can about their personality, values and beliefs, which I can then express visually and creatively.
I use design, lighting, sound and nature to create a place that works for you and your family, somewhere you can be at home and appreciate with all your five senses.
I believe the result is a happier and healthier place to live. A place where you do more than simply exist, where you can create and savour lasting memories.
If you would like us to work with you to create a special home for you and your family, get in touch with us today.

Freelancer / Working Abroad Remotely
Freelance interior designer
and visualizer
Direct feedback from a client is essential in enhancing skills and career growth as a designer, but traditionally employed designers rarely interact with their company's customers. As a self-employed designer, I can connect with my clients, which gave me insights into their pain points and how I could help them.

What people say about Minarch Studio
-
Caroline & Paul - Hamn, Germany
"We really need to have the kitchen painted," said Paul, who felt that everything had to be refurbished! But in what color combination? There was no answer ... We had asked a quote by three different painters with the thought: choose a painter and choose the colours. Unfortunately, the time ticked and we could not make any decision. One year later we drove to the hardware store on a rainy morning to pick up some color samples. But once we got home and put the color samples against the walls and on the top of the paintings, we did not get out yet. Sigh. Were to start, again? Eventually we were lucky to find MINA. An online appointment was made smoothly and after two hours of talking ,we understand we need to change not only the colors in the kitchen but also we need to refurbish it totally. The project started of with plastering, painting and tiling. Everything beautifully presented in a well-d eveloped plan with an accompanying mood board. We particularly liked that, because it gave us the grip we were looking for. What we are particularly happy about is that everything is so nicely in balance, customised to our needs. The colours of the walls, the window decoration and the new layout. Everything fits well together. We had 'never never' come up with these ideas and plans, or we had not dared to go for total refurbishment of the kitchen. So every day we are very, very happy with the result!'

Maarten - Paris, France
" Ok, so you move from Amsterdam to Paris for a new job. You have about 25 days to settle in, get a bank account, social security and all the bureaucracy. From a bare apartment to a design home in just three weeks? Just found Minarch Studio on Instagram and they get it done for me. Eclectic resources from online second hand stores, designer outlets (yes in Paris, and they can handle a pretty damn bargain, even with the French), the occasional IKEA but overall they have a coherent dictate on style. Six months after I moved, a colleague commented: "Wow, I can't believe you're already this well installed". Little did she know it had only taken three weeks. Call me lazy, but I could not think of an urgent thing to finish since."

Katja & Oscar - Toronto, Canada
Brilliant styling ideas - combining old and new, design and mainstream. And a light plan at last! Luxurious living doesn't need a huge investment - just some attention and TLC from these ladies will do the magic!
