Marta and her team at Marta Mitchell Interior Design are a true pleasure to know and to collaborate with on tile projects. I've always admired Marta's designs and her ability to manage many projects, honoring each client's unique needs. Marta and her team have earned a reputation of offering genuine enthusiasm as they create award winning design solutions for each project. We love working with everyone at MMI and thankful for all they do for our industry! Ann Hartley, Mosaic Tileread more

Marta & her team created a liveable outdoor patio space for our new construction home. From the initial concept sketches to the final furniture installation, the team was prompt, responsive, and clearly listened to what we wanted out of this new space. We went from a muddy construction zone to a stone patio & wooden decking haven -- perfect for small gatherings around the firepit in cooler months, but well equipped and expansive enough to entertain larger crowds in the summer months.read more

As a vendor working with Marta Mitchell Interior Design, I have been privy to meetings with clients and staff meetings as they brainstorm the details of their client's homes. What has impressed me is the manner in which Marta and her team, truly listen to their clients, making notes on their likes, dislikes, as well as paying special attention to how their clients live. Many designers can create beautiful spaces, but if they are not functional for the clients living in them, then all that beauty is a waste, so Marta and her team make sure that form and function are always intertwined. Again, I am a vendor to the team, so I have a inside view to their "behind the scenes" talks. They are always so respectful of their clients. They are constantly reflecting on their client's wants and needs, "what would they think, how would they use this, and do we think this is the best use of the space? Additionally, I respect how Marta and the team guide their clients thru the process, showing them how good quality and carefully thought out design is an investment, that pays out dividends with years of use and enjoyment. Unique, creative, personalized spaces that read to their clients lifestyle in a way in which they had only imagined they would be, are intrinsic qualities of every project Marta Mitchell Interior Design is involved in.read more

We hired Marta during the architectural process of building our new home. She helped us review our first draft of the drawing and helped us make our vision a reality. She found some areas that would’ve been an annoyance (like doors opening into other doors or spaces that seemed functional but weren’t actually going to BE functional) and made the necessary changes. She also elevated the design of the exterior and the porches. We are so thrilled with what she did for us. I HIGHLY recommend them for this step of any build. It will save you money in potential changes during the building process. We then had her help during the entire building and designing process. Marta and Annelise helped make our house a home. When it was finished it was like we had lived here forever. It didn’t look like a new construction at all. Having them at our side during the long process of building made it a breeze and they took most of the stress away. They got our vision and worked on every detail with us. We NEVER would’ve been able to achieve this look without them. We’ve lived here for 4 months now and I still walk around in awe of every detail. Every part of our home is “us” and people are jaw dropped when they come see it for the first time. Hiring Marta and her team was the single best decision we made in the entire process. This is the design firm you want. You will not regret it!read more

Marta is terrific to work with! She is fun, creative, works well with deadlines and budgets and designs for a practical and comfortable lifestyle. My husband and i both love what she's done with our home which was a "bachelor's pad" when we purchased it. She has done a great job blending my traditional style and antiques with a more contemporary home.We highly recommend Marta and have several friends who use her - i love what she's done with their homes as well.read more

My master bathroom remodel was my second experience working with Marta. Marta and her entire staff were very professional, very talented and loads of fun. I really looked forward to each of our meetings. The plans that Marta drew up were brilliant and clever and she had an excellent working relationship with our building contractor. Marta stayed within our budget and time frame and she made the decision making process very simple. I will certainly plan to work with Marta again on my next project.read more

We hired Marta to help us with our kitchen remodel and new furniture for our family room and screen porch. She was fabulous to work with! Marta asked great questions to determine our preferred style and provided recommendations which we loved! We added additional rooms to the scope mid-project, and Marta quickly provided color, fixture and furniture suggestions that worked perfectly. She always delivered at the time she promised and at the price quoted. Marta is so easy to work with, but most importantly I trust her judgment as she pulls the myriad details together beautifully.read more

Marta Mitchell and Annelise Tikkanen created my dream kitchen. I am over the moon! Both were very attentive to my style and my personality and created a beautiful kitchen that I will enjoy for many, many years. They were both so easy to work with, very customer focused and available. I would highly recommend Marta and her team. A very talented group of designers.read more

MMID helped me with 2 bathroom projects. The master bath was gutted and another full bath received a major facelift. Marta and her team saved the day on the Master BR project. I came very close to signing a contract for a design my husband and I did not like. MMID listened to what was important to us and gave us several designs from which to choose. I was impressed with the creativity of the designs. Marta and her designers are energetic and full of good ideas! Ultimately, we decided on a design which placed the shower in front of the window, where we are able to get natural light with a cool design of frosted glass on the architectural block. We are so pleased with the bathroom design and with the storage closet, vanity, tile, fixtures, color and lighting that MMID selected (for both bathroom projects). Marta also helped reconfigure our bedroom and even found a new dresser for me.At the outset of the project, I asked Marta for contractor recommendations. JLand Construction was a terrific fit for our projects. Marta and her team are incredibly responsive, thorough and creative. They have great sources and contacts. I could not have completed this project and been as pleased with the result without MMID. Highly recommend!read more

Marta has helped me on a number of design projects of all sizes in our home during the twenty years that I have know her. She is unfailingly professional, attentive to detail, considerate, and always willing to listen to my questions and concerns. Marta works hard to incorporate into updated design projects those furnishings that can be repurposed or refreshed vs. pushing for more costly purchases. I am always pleased with the finished project but perhaps appreciate most the pleasant experience of working with Marta and her team.read more

Marta Mitchell is great to work with, she has incredible vision, energy and talent. Marta assisted us with a whole house renovation which was really overwhelming until Marta got involved. She broke it down into smaller manageable projects and really guided me through all the decisions. Marta also has a knack for using items you already have so as to keep costs down which is always a plus.read more

My company worked with Marta Mitchell Interior Design on a whole home remodel on James Island. Marta and her team are professional and highly knowledgeable. She is easy to work with and ties the client, designer, contractor relationship together seamlessly! I would highly recommend Marta and her team and look forward to working with them on another project.read more

Marta is not only a talented designer, but she is an expert at customer service. She listens to her customer needs to fully understand our likes, dislikes, wishes and functional requirements. She provides multiple options and really engages the whole family in the decision making process. We were also quite impressed with the technology that she uses to capture design ideas that helped us visualize the end result. She's innovative as well. Best of all, her entire team embodies the same spirit of creativity and results. The end result is beautiful.read more

Marta and Annelise are absolutely amazing at what they do. They are always professional, personable, and never disappoint. We feel they are more our friends than our designers and always understand what our vision is. Thank you for helping to make our dreams a reality!read more

You made us feel so involved every step of the way and never once did we feel pressured to choose something we were not comfortable with.The sense of ease and calm you gave to this project was beyond appreciated. We came in feeling so overwhelmed but knowing we had a vision for what this home really should be. After one meeting with you both, you had our style, taste and vision and expanded on it in a way we never could have and made it such a fun, exciting and easier project than we ever imagined it could be.You both exuded nothing but professionalism yet at the same time, brought kindness, so much fun, and a compassionate warmth to this project. We feel like you're family now!read more

I just got home from spending two weeks at the beach. So I’ve not seen the bathroom in the finished condition. Today I saw it all done except for the shower doors and one or two other little things. And I have just one comment to make: That is one damn beautiful bathroom! Thank you!!P.S. I am expecting a call any day now from the photographer for Architectural Digest to come snap some pictures of it for the next edition!read more

We are so grateful to Marta Mitchell Interiors for our beautiful new home. Their expertise in choosing paint colors, rugs and furniture helped us create a lovely and comfortable new home. We also appreciate their help in the building process, helping with cabinets, tile, etc. They were all a joy to work with, communicating well, always just a phone call or text away.read more

Our experience working with Marta and her staff could not have been better. We found Marta to be very gifted as a decorator. Her strengths were the ability to understand our needs for our house and our lifestyle. In getting to know us Marta was able to fuse her vast decorating experiences helping and guiding us in multiple options for renovating our house both exterior and interior. Marta is very professional and very relational in her communication skills. Lastly, her support staff was very attentive to our needs staying in close communication throughout the entire decorating process. After working with several accomplished decorator in the past clearly Marta was simply the very best!read more

Marta provided a paint color consultation for one of our clients that was having trouble making color choices. Marta was professional, knowledgeable, and has a great eye for detail. Her recommendations on color made the final project look amazing, and the customers were delighted. I would recommend Marta and her design team to family and friends.

MMID designed my office in 2015, and created a beautiful, modern space that I am more than proud to bring my clients to. They were able to create exactly what I was looking for, and went above and beyond my expectations. After the great work they did with that space, I also used MMID to design an apartment I moved into earlier this year. Again, they went above and beyond anything I could have imagined and have created an amazing space to live in. Whether for a home or commercial space, I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for incredinle design!read more

We live in an older home and plan to downsize in the near future. Marta helped us envision ways we could freshen up the interior design of our home. I love her ideas and approach. She provided ideas that were practical, made excellent use of the space we have, and matched our style.read more

Marta took our average,1932 colonial house, a house we thought we had done fabulous things with and transformed it into a truly amazing, breathtaking place. My husband and I still cannot believe this is our house. One of the most amazing aspects of the experience was that Marta made us feel as though we were her only clients...until we learned otherwise. We cannot say enough about Marta Mitchell and her team.read more

Marta Mitchell Interior Design is amazing! From the moment I met Marta the whole design experience has been both professional and enjoyable. I had moved into a new house about a year before I started working with Marta. She met with me and really listened to my thoughts and the look I was trying to achieve. I had gotten my house to a certain point but it wasn't quit there. Marta put together a plan giving me choices and suggestions on furniture, fabrics, lighting, rugs and floor layout as well as selecting some paint colors. She and her staff handled every detail professionally and timely from our first meeting until everything arrived and was in place. I am absolutely thrilled with the results and would give them my highest recommendation!read more

When we decided to remodel our kitchen, we assumed we would have to add on once again. Enter Marta Mitchell! She had the perfect plan - 2 1/2 tons of bricks removed, relocating powder and laundry rooms, etc. One project led to another and our home is truly amazing! Marta and Annelise were so calm and reassuring during the entire project. They listened and had wonderful ideas and incorporated the items we love. When I was close to having a breakdown, Marta would say "Susan, one bite at a time!" Marta's enthusiasm and professionalism are contagious. We feel we gained a beautiful "new" home and a true friend.-Susanread more

Marta is wonderful!! I recently bought a fairly "dated" house - walls needed to be taken down and the entire first floor needed to be updated. Marta handled the project from the start with wonderful designs, excellent ideas and she worked with the contractors from start to finish. Her knowledge of color, fabrics and furniture were fantastic and she turned my new house into the perfect home for me! Marta is extremely fun and easy to work with, I even gave "her" as a housewarming gift to close friends moving into the area!read more
