What people say…
“Raquel isn’t just an interior designer, she’s someone you can fully trust to take your vision and bring it to life at a level you didn’t think was possible.
I recently project-managed our latest 8-bed HMO, with Mar Design taking care of the interiors. From the initial brief to receiving the technical drawings and staging the property, the whole process has been an absolute pleasure! We kept in constant communication to ensure we delivered the perfect result, and working alongside Raquel has been an absolute joy.
Thanks to Raquel’s design work, we’re now achieving a higher-end valuation on the property than we originally planned, and that’s all down to her incredible interior design. It’s been a great experience from start to finish, and I’m looking forward to our next project together.
GARETH TAYLOR-SMITH, TAYLORSMITH PROPERTY
“As an interior designer, Raquel has an incredible eye for detail and was able to transform my development into a beautiful, stylish and functional space that exceeded all of my expectations.
The end result was a space that was not only stunning but also comfortable and inviting, and my tenants have been absolutely delighted with the transformation.
I have no doubt that Raquel’s expertise and creativity have added significant value to my property, and I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future.”

About
Mar Design
Hi, I’m Raquel, founder of Mar Design, a UK-based interior architecture and design studio working with property developers and investors.
With a background in hospitality, prime residential, commercial spaces and over 50 homes delivered across the UK, our projects don’t just look good, they are designed to perform.
Mar Design is an award-finalist studio, with projects recognised by the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID Awards), HMO Awards, and London Construction Awards, and featured across industry publications.
Our clients are typically boutique developers delivering 5 - 20 unit schemes across London, the North West, and the South.
While many developers target a 15–20% return, our clients consistently achieve up to 20–30% ROI by using our design process, which increases market appeal, reduces time on market, and achieves stronger valuations.
We are members since 2006
