Studio Marla

We have recently worked with Marie - Sophie on 2 separate projects and she has been brilliant. The first was a new build town house and the second was a larger development of 7 apartments and 2 large town houses. We have been very impressed with how responsive she always is and the speed she puts everything together. She also has a very good eye for detail and coordinates each project with ease. We trust her judgement and wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

We contracted Marie-Sophie to design the interior colour scheme and furniture choices on a residential block that we wished to rent out on short term lets. We are based in Shrewsbury and so sent Marie-Sophie 'Matterport Virtual Tours' of the whole block and she put together a comprehensive and detailed plan, that we were able to share with the various contractors and use when buying the various items of furniture and setting up each room. We are extremely pleased with the end result and would not hesitate to recommend Marie-Sophie to anyone requiring interior design advice. I am sure we will use her services again at some point. Thank you Chris

We used Studio Marla to help us with planning and furnishing our first home; kitchen-dining room knock-through architectural and interior design; and interior design of two rooms (master bedroom and living room). Studio Marla assisted us to streamline this process offering professional and expert advice, making our home bespoke and beautiful. There were many things we would have not considered in this project had we not used Studio Marla. The stylish and unique furniture are a constant source of compliments from family and friends (and all were within our set budget). The biggest strength of this company is Marie-Sophie’s meticulousness and attention to detail. Our builders, joiners and electricians were in awe of our elevation drawings made by Studio Marla. All said the drawings were clear and made their job extremely easy (not allowing room for error). Marie-Sophie verified our commercial retail kitchen company designs spotting a large mismeasurement error. To this day, we are ever so grateful to her for avoiding a potential disaster!! The second big strength of this company is communication. It was a two-way conversation, where our feedback and ideas were taken on board and elevated to deliver a high-quality home design within the allocated budget. We received clear and easy to read design proposal presentations, drawings (2D and 3D) and shopping lists (including all hidden costs such as delivery charges and timeframes for delivery). We would recommend Studio Marla to anyone who wants to elevate their home to a bespoke, unique place with highest quality service and professional design experience.

I had the pleasure of working with Marie-Sophie for a bathroom renovation, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the start, I had a general idea of what I wanted but struggled to put it into words. She was fantastic at understanding my vision and translating it into detailed mock-ups that captured exactly what I was looking for. Throughout the installation process, she was incredibly helpful, staying involved and available whenever there were questions by the contractor. Her expertise really shone through in guiding the project and making specific suggestions for final finishing touches that really completed the look. I highly recommend Studio Marla for anyone looking for a designer who listens, understands, and advises you through every step of the process. The bathroom turned out beautiful, and I couldn't have done it without Marie-Sophie!

I could give Marie 100 stars. She has worked with my partner professionally on properties for his holiday accommodation business and personally, working with us to create the home we envisaged for our young family. She adds elegance to the simplest of spaces through use of antiques, colour, pattern and texture. She is responsive and visits the site to see what the space is like to work with. The best thing is she accommodates for all budgets so a high end design is not unattainable! I recommend her services to everyone because it’s worth the investment.

This project was for our first commercial office space. This was quite a big investment for a small business and we were nervous ahead of procuring any furniture - to be honest we didn't know where to start and that's when we contacted Studio Marla. Marie helped us with all aspects of design, from space planning all the way through to installation. The project was delivered on time, on budget and has been received really positively by the office staff, it's a pleasure to bring clients to our space now. We cannot recommend Studio Marla enough.
