Whether you are looking to refresh a single room or completely redesign a home from scratch, there’s no project too big or small.

TIMELESS ELEGANCE
MY APPROACH
Her projects result in rich environments made possible through the careful curation of perfected color schemes, matched material selection and careful attention to detail. Monika embraces a versatile approach to design, blending new and vintage pieces, contrasting textures, and a mix of wood and metal finishes. This allows her to create spaces that are not only chic and modern but also warm and inviting. From the structural elements of the space to the final touches, such as the placement of the last book on the shelf, every aspect is thoughtfully designed to achieve the final product.
