Spaces are better understood when you move closer

In this series of photos, I wanted to pause and focus on the details: the light, the materials, the small objects that make a space feel lived in, not just designed.

As an interior designer, I always aim to create atmospheres, but I’m increasingly enjoying capturing them through photography too.

Because very often, beauty is right there: in what doesn’t ask for attention, but deserves it 🤗

Moving to BARCELONA is exciting.
Creating a HOME here can feel overwhelming.

NEW CITY. New language.
No contacts. No trusted suppliers.
No idea where to find quality furniture that fits your lifestyle.

That’s where I step in.

I HELP INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES design and build their home in Barcelona — managing every detail, every contractor, every decision.

So you can focus on settling in.
And simply walk into a space that already feels like home.

MATERIALS IN DIALOGUE… even from the ceiling.

In this kitchen:

- wood brings warmth
- white means order
- and the continuous porcelanic wall finish/worktop creates a neutral base

…but the defining touch is above: exposed concrete breaks the perfection and adds architectural character 🤩

The linear lighting cuts through the space, connecting every surface and integrating kitchen and architecture into one cohesive language.

Because design isn’t only considering walls and floor … it’s also designed in height.

What do you think about making the ceiling the focal point? 🤗

My favorite moment always comes at the end ✨
When I prepare every detail for the final delivery.

I love searching for the perfect accessories and moving them again and again until everything feels in perfect harmony. Because it’s all about patience, intention, and caring for every little detail.

And it’s in that moment, when the client feels it and appreciates the result, that all the effort truly makes sense 🤍

“Voy a cambiar el sofá y listo.”

Y ojalá fuera tan fácil.

Después de algunos años como interiorista, tengo algo claro: una casa no cambia solo por el mobiliario grande. Cambia por los DETALLES.

Por esa LÁMPARA que te acompaña al final del día.
Por cómo combinan los MATERIALES.
Por ese OBJETO que habla de ti.
Por ese RINCÓN pequeño al que decides darle intención.

Antes de comprar nada, para y piensa tres cosas:

1. ¿Qué falta realmente en este espacio según tus necesidades?
2. ¿Encaja con lo que ya tengo? Proporción, material, color…
3. ¿Qué quiero sentir aquí?

Porque decorar no es llenar.
Es elegir con intención.

Y ahí está la diferencia ✨

Lately…

1. Definiendo este espacio que va a quedar tan bonito 🤩 y que es para una persona muy especial

2. Escogiendo jardín vertical 🌿

3. Detalles… que visten el espacio

4. Diseñando cocina

5. El momento de escoger materiales

6. Creando moodboard para un baño

7. Hora de escoger el suelo de un espacio que no puedo esperar a veros

8. Visitando proveedores con los que me encanta trabajar

9. Diseñando un baño muy top!

10. Y recopilando fotos, me encuentro con el montaje de esta litera que hicimos a medida y que me queda pendiente enseñaros con más detalle 🤗

A SMALL PIECE, but full of intention ✨

This custom-made oak side table was designed to meet a very specific need: keeping reading books organised while creating storage areas where some objects can remain out of direct sight, without compromising on design.

We placed it in a bedroom, but its versatility makes it works just as well in other spaces: as a support piece in a living room or even in a reading corner. The different compartments allow for a balance between the practical and the aesthetic, playing with what is displayed and what is hidden.

We paired it with a terracotta ceramic lamp, which adds warmth and a pop of colour to the space. In addition, the lamp can be placed in three different positions, giving it a very playful feel.

Design created to be lived in and enjoyed 🧡

A corner designed to slow down:
warm light and materials that invite you to stay…
taking a moment to pause ✨

A favorite place to end the day

And two models that want to be part of the pictures 🐶👦🩵🤗
