WE HAVE THE EXPERTISE
With nearly two decades of international experience delivering interior architecture and interior design services in London and Melbourne, Maria Marinho recently moved to Auckland and founded Beluga Interiors, a luxury interior design practice delivering residential, yachting, workspace and retail projects.
Our passion and knowledge for the arts, history, architecture and design is reflected in our ability to flow easily between different styles and conceive spaces where classic and modern are combined with understated sophistication.
Spaces are created by merging knowledge of the history of design with contemporary modern tendencies, always aiming for a timeless and elegant aesthetic.
We have a deep knowledge of international brands and suppliers in the world of furniture, lighting, floor furnishings and accessories and we work with some of the best high-end fabrics and wallpapers such as Loro Piana, Dedar, Nobilis, Pierre Frey, Manuel Canovas and Perennials.
We are small enough to deliver a truly personal and effective result. Committed to helping you navigate the whole process, we promise real expertise, excellent communication and dedication to your project.
