Marlena Krym – Fallen Marilyn Interior Design
As a designer, I have a strong understanding of how interiors come together, from the architecture of a space to the furniture and soft furnishings. On a personal level, I have an immense appreciation for a range of design periods, antiques and styles. For me, interiors should tell a story about the people who inhabit them.
I have always loved design and worked in design space in many different capacities. I received my bachelor’s degree from Gdansk Polytechnic and graduated with the highest honours in Interior Design from New York Institute of Art and Design.
My design philosophy centres around a holistic approach that marries aesthetics, creativity with functionality. I believe that every space should not only be visually stunning but also express our individuality. By collaborating closely with Clients, I delve into their lifestyles, personality and preferences, crafting personalized designs that reflect their unique stories.
I provide Interior Design Consultation, Designer for a Day Hire, Virtual Design, Full-Service Interior Design working closely with Architects and Contractors.
