Ethos

We take a serious approach to design, with the understanding that we are improving lives and helping to create memories. Forming and maintaining authentic relationships with clients, and partnerships with suppliers, builders and solutions focused trades is integral to our studio culture. Humour is our best friend, and we use it to help our clients relax and enjoy the creative process. We believe respectful, transparent, and open communication results in greater efficiencies and optimum results.

The intimate size of MTID fosters a close-knit, collaborative atmosphere where we as the designers can provide personalised attention to each project. This leads to a deeper understanding of the client’s vision and preferences, resulting in tailored and unique design solutions. Additionally, the streamlined structure of our small studio often translates to more cost-effective services, allowing for competitive pricing and efficient project design management. As a smaller studio, we are more agile and adaptable, capable of swiftly adjusting to industry trends and client demands. The commitment to quality and attention to detail in our small interior design studio is often unmatched, ensuring that our every project receives the meticulous care and expertise it deserves.

Unique approach

Our team’s authentic approach and infectious enthusiasm lingers on after project close - their biggest marker for success being the experience of people using the space. While we may wax lyrical about a particularly sexy armchair and love a more-is-more approach, no two projects are the same, and the team is ready to take on any project. We are committed to accommodating flexible working hours as necessary, demonstrating our dedication to meeting our clients’ needs and project timelines. In our commitment to our flexible approach we have implemented specification and design management software that our clients can access anywhere around the world at any time provided they have reliable internet access.

MTID run all our projects through this software so ALL our clients have access to their real time project data via a client dashboard. Our Client Dashboard is always up to date as it is a live portal. This means our clients have access to the same detail we do and can approve finishes, expenditure, or request further details on procurement items, eliminating the need to sift through hundreds of emails to locate important project documentation or track approvals.

MTID offers Residential and Commercial Interior Design services. We work through your project on paper first as going through all the details and only making changes on paper is a much more cost efficient approach to identifying what you like than during the build!
