Interior Design · Designed to Fit™
You know exactly who you are. Your home doesn't. Yet.
I design homes around the woman you’ve become, and the family life you really live.
From the first conversation to the day you walk in and everything is done. No trends. No showroom. No more deciding everything on your own.

Designed to Fit™
Sound familiar?
You've been redesigning your home in your head for months.
01You finally sit down with your tea or coffee, and all you see is what still isn’t right.
02400 Pinterest saves. Fabric samples on the kitchen table. Still no decision.
03You’re scared of spending a lot of money on the wrong things. Again.
04Your life has changed. Your home hasn’t caught up, and you don’t have the time to chase it.
You don’t need more inspiration. You need someone who truly listens, and then takes it off your plate.
The transformation
Imagine coming home and finally seeing nothing to fix.
You come home, drop your bag, sit down with your tea or coffee and just breathe. The kids’ things have a place. Friends stay longer than they planned. The light in the evening feels warm, and every piece in the room tells a little of your story.
Not a showroom you have to fit into. A home that fits you, and finally feels finished.
It works for your life
Every corner planned around your routines, your family and how you really use your home.
It feels like you
Your personality, your memories and the pieces you love, in a home nobody else has.
It's actually done
Not a moodboard on your phone. A finished home: designed, coordinated and styled.
“Personal doesn’t have to mean complicated. It has to mean something to you.”

Working with me
Here's how I take you there.
It starts with a conversation.Not about styles or trends. About you. How your mornings run, where the school bags land, what you loved about the home you grew up in, and how you want to feel when you close the door at night. I listen, I ask, and I hear what’s between the lines.
Then I get to know your home.The light at different times of day, the pieces you’d never give away, the corner that never quite works. From everything you’ve shared, I create your Interior Identity: a clear picture of what your home needs to be.
Then I design it, room by room.Layout, light, colours, materials and furniture, in 3D, so you see your home before a single thing is bought. Every piece has a reason, and the reason is you.
And then I take it off your plate.I prepare every order, coordinate suppliers and trades, and keep the timeline and budget in view. You don’t chase anyone. You get updates, and you make the decisions that matter.
Until the day you walk in, and it’s done.Styled, finished and so you, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Why I listen
Hi, I'm Mel.
Melanie Black El Ferdioui · Founder & Interior Designer
I believe a home should hold your memories, not someone else’s taste. So I listen first, properly, and design second.
I’m a certified interior designer with more than ten years in project management, procurement and supply chain. That combination matters: your home isn’t only beautifully imagined. It’s planned, priced and carried through.
I work with families in Austria, across Europe and in Morocco.
Your home stays private. I don’t publish before-and-after photos of client homes. You’ll see my work through process, plans, 3D models and materials instead.

Questions
Still have questions?
What happens in the call?
We talk for 15 minutes about your home and your life. You tell me what isn’t working. I tell you honestly if and how I can help, whether we work together or not.
Do we have to meet in person?
Our first conversations happen online, so they fit into your life. For the design itself I come to your home, because I want to feel your space, your light and how you live in it.
Where do you work?
In Austria, across Europe and in Morocco.
Do I have to replace all my furniture?
No. We keep what you love and what still works, and only add what your home really needs.
My partner and I don't agree on style. Can you help?
Yes. I look at what each of you needs and find the common ground, so you both feel at home.
What does it cost?
Every home and every project is different. In the call we look at your space, your plans and your timing, and I’ll tell you honestly what your investment looks like. If a full project isn’t right for you yet, we’ll find the right way to start.
Still thinking about it? Let's just talk.
Book a 15-minute call. No pressure, no obligation. Just an honest conversation about your home and your life. I only take on a few homes at a time, so each one gets my full attention.
