Interior Design in Amsterdam

Welcome to CPH interior design! I am Mary, an Italian interior designer and decorator in Amsterdam. After years of living and working in Copenhagen, I specialized in the Scandinavian approach to interiors, where soft minimalism, functionality, and warmth come together in perfect balance. Now I bring this philosophy to homes, offices and small businesses in Amsterdam, creating interior design concepts that feel personal, and are a perfect blend of modernity, timeless elegance and comfort. I work on-site for projects in Amsterdam and online for projects worldwide.

Interior Design for houses and apartments in Amsterdam:

If you love the serene elegance of Scandinavian interiors but want a home that also feels personal, warm and inviting, I create spaces that reflect your personality, without clutter or excess. My approach is authentic, thoughtful, and always tailored to your lifestyle, whether it is a full renovation or a room makeover.

Offices Interior Design in Amsterdam:

A well designed office isn't just about looking good, it should enhance focus, creativity and well-being. I create working spaces that are modern, serene and reflect your company brand identity.

Top 3 reasons why you should hire an interior designer

1. Save time

Maybe you just relocated to a new country and do not know where to buy new furniture or decorations. An interior designer knows the best local interior shops and can immediately give you access to these.

2. Save hassle

An interior designer is also a project manager and already works with contractors in your area; therefore, you will only have to interact with one person.

3. Save money

Choosing an interior designer costs less than most people think, and can help you avoid expensive mistakes. Furthermore we can sometimes offer discounts for many popular webshops.

What my clients say

"I came across Mary after having no luck finding interior designers that specialized in Scandinavian interior design here in the US. I believe we are her first US customers, going through the process entirely virtually. We had a great experience with Mary - she was kind, responsive and clearly cared about understanding the look we envisioned for our home. Her process was straightforward, and she made it easy for us to refine and execute our vision by providing design presentations and shopping lists with a variety of items at different price points. The best part was that we could tell how much it mattered to her that we were happy with the end product, and she went above and beyond to make sure we ended up with the space of our dreams. I would definitely work with Mary again!"

Whether it's a single room or a larger area, I help create a functional and beautiful space.
Do you provide virtual interior design consultations?

Yes, I offer virtual interior design services for clients throughout the Netherlands and worldwide. An online interior design consultation is just as effective as working in person, as I carefully select colors, materials, furniture and decorations that are available in the local market of my customers. I have experience working online with customers throughout Europe and in the U.S.

Yes, I collaborate with handymen and construction companies in Amsterdam and are able to manage the whole project from start to finish.
Do you offer interior design consultations for offices and businesses in Amsterdam?

Yes, just as with private homes, I offer interior design concepts including space planning, color scheme, furniture selection and 3D renderings for businesses and private offices in Amsterdam.
How would you describe your interior design style?

My ultimate goal is to deeply understand my clients’ unique style and wishes, and translating their vision into tailored spaces that bring them comfort and joy. However, given my Italian origin, and my working experience in Copenhagen, I am naturally attracted by spaces that are functionally designed, and that are an harmonious blend of Scandinavian, Mediterranean and Japandi influences. My aim is to create serene and soothing spaces that feel calm, cozy and warm. As result of that, I focus on selecting natural materials, soft textures, and muted colors and on finding the perfect balance between simplicity and comfort.
What is the process of working with an interior designer in Amsterdam?

Whether you are based in Amsterdam or elsewhere, my interior design process always starts with a free initial video call. This allows us to get to know each other, define the scope of the project and talk about the process. After this initial call, I provide you with a non-binding quote, and once approved, we can begin our collaboration.
What is the process of working with an interior designer online?

The process of working with an interior designer online is very similar to working with an interior designer on-site. It starts with a free introductory video call, where we get to know each other, define the scope of the project, and determine a quote. Once the quote is approved, I will ask you to provide photos and measurements of the space to kick-off the design process. From there, we collaborate through a series of video calls and regular check-ins to ensure the design concept aligns with your vision.
How much does an interior designer in Amsterdam cost?

The cost of hiring an interior designer in Amsterdam varies based on the scope of the project. I offer transparent prices and tailored packages to fit your specific needs. Have a look at my "Rates" page to learn more, or get in contact for a free 30-minutes video call.
Can you help me select furniture and decorations for my home?

Absolutely! One key deliverable of my interior design concepts - whether you are based in Amsterdam or collaborating with me virtually - is the shopping list. This curated list includes carefully selected furniture and décor from your local market, complete with direct links. Each option is chosen to align with the budget we've agreed upon.
How long does an interior design project take?

The timeline for an interior design project depends on the project's size and complexity. On average, smaller projects take 2–4 weeks, while larger projects may take longer.
