TRANSFORMING PROPERTIES INTO BESPOKE ENVIRONMENTS

INTERVIEW WITH VICTORIA MOLA – DIRECTOR OF SIESTA DESIGN

Siesta Interior Design is now well established in Marbella’s Centro Plaza. How did you originally start the business?

Building on our background as property developers, we seamlessly transitioned into interior styling. Our focus is on assisting homeowners in transforming their properties into bespoke environments, meticulously curated to deliver the highpoint of lifestyle experiences. Recognising the desires of our clients who buy properties along the Coast, we identified the need to manifest their dream holiday homes even from afar. This awareness gave birth to Siesta Design, the driving force behind passionately crafting and orchestrating interior design and refurbishment projects. We oversee every intricacy, ensuring that each of them materialises flawlessly.

How have you evolved over the many years you have been on the Coast?

When we first started, we were only working with the new owners from Siesta Homes developments. We soon noticed we were being contacted by friends of our clients, or those who had seen our show flats and loved our style. So, we realised we needed to be more visible and we moved into the shop in Centro Plaza.

This was a great move as, from our showroom, we get to meet more clients. When they visit our showroom they explore a variety of styles, colours and shapes. We gather them to establish a connection, understand their requirements, and ensure a perfect alignment between their vision and our expertise.

Tell us more about the services you offer.

We provide comprehensive support to our clients, attending to each and every aspect required to consciously decorate their properties. From furniture and fittings to curtains, new kitchens and even building works, we deliver a wide variety of services. Our commitment covers the entire project execution and, in situations where clients have existing furnishings, we contribute by refining the overall look through meticulous restyling.

Understanding that many of our clients are in their home countries, we embrace the management of their projects and adopt the need for seamless coordination. This involves liaising with multiple suppliers, overseeing deliveries, facility management and all the associated logistical arrangements.

How do you normally approach a project?

We have a first meeting with the clients to talk about the style they like, what kind of needs they have, how they are planning to use the property, if it is for their own use, if they will be renting it out, what budget they have in mind, etc. Sometimes this first meeting happens in person, and other times we do it on video call. We then put together an inspiration moodboard to show the clients and make sure we all agree on the style we are going for. The next step is preparing the proposal, where we include several options for each area. All the projects are personalised – nothing is fixed. Clients can be more or less involved in the process until we come to the final project. It is up to them. We are happy to have more meetings to go through the proposals, and we are also used to those clients who prefer not to be involved in the process and just want to see the final result.

Marbella is still booming. What is your vision for the upcoming year to take advantage of that?

We believe it will be a great year. Many of our old clients are coming back to us asking to decorate new apartments they have bought as an investment, either to rent out or re-sell. We also have new clients who are buying off-plan, which creates a busy and exciting pipeline for the next 12 months.

In Conclusion…

In our showroom in Centro Plaza we always have a nice variety of distinctive and special furniture and accessories. You can find well-known brands together with some secret ones that we love because of their uniqueness. We blend Scandinavian and Mediterranean design elements to create warm and modern homes with a natural feeling that balances form and function, and above all lifestyle and well-being.
