About Martell Interiors

"Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new."

-Henry David Thoreau

Good design lasts a lifetime and then some. Our goal at MI Designs is to help you create interiors that are current yet classic. We don't want to create spaces that you will want to change next year with the new trends but rather a beautiful classic interior that feels up to date yet references the past. 

We believe great design should respond to the client's needs for both form and function. Every detail should be managed and planned thoughtfully taking into account the client's ultimate dream for their environment. It's about listening and offering ideas, guidance and organization to make each project run smoothly and be an enjoyable experience.

Great design is about helping a client realize the vision they have in mind.
