Mâvee Interiors

A home that finally
feels like yours.

Interiors designed around the way you actually live, so every room feels right the moment you walk in.
Interior Design Studio based in Woking, Surrey.

"Most clients come with a feeling they can't quite name. That's the most exciting place to start telling your story."

Why we do it
this way.

Mâvee Interiors was founded on a single conviction: that a space must work before it can be beautiful. Not one or the other. Both. And in that order.

"Most design begins with how a room will look. We begin with how you actually live in it."

Most interior design starts with aesthetics: mood boards, materials, the visual language of a room. We start somewhere else. We start with you. With the way you move through your home at seven in the morning. With the room that never quite does what you need it to. With the things you've stopped noticing but wish you could change. Because before any of it can be designed, it has to be understood. Your home is the setting for your story, and no two are the same. The brief is deep and specific. The listening is complete.

Only when we genuinely understand how you live does the design begin. And when it does, every decision is measured against one question: does this earn its place? Not just does it look beautiful, but does it work? Is it exactly right for this home, this family, this story?

The spaces that come out the other side tend to feel calm, organised, and completely resolved, as though they couldn't have been any other way. That's not a coincidence. That's the process.

Hatice Kandemir — Founder, Mâvee Interiors

Before I designed homes,
I engineered cars.

I spent eighteen years as an automotive engineer, working with Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Smart, Overfinch, and McLaren. It's an environment where every surface, every curve, every tiny detail is considered for how it will make you feel the moment you step in. Nothing wasted, nothing overlooked, everything earning its place. The result is that unmistakable feeling of "wow" the second you experience it.

That instinct didn't begin with engineering. Growing up in Germany, I spent hours in my late father's carpentry workshop, experimenting with wood, learning through touch what patience and precision actually feel like. My mother was a dressmaker, and her fabric offcuts were my playground; I'd spend whole afternoons feeling the textures, stitching pieces together, absorbing without knowing it that fit and finish were everything. Long before I stepped into the automotive industry or a design studio, I already knew what it felt like when something was made with real care.

I left engineering to study residential interior design at KLC School of Design in London. KLC is one of the most respected interior design schools in the industry, known for training designers who take the craft seriously. It gave me the formal foundation to match what I had spent years developing intuitively. Because I realised that feeling of precision and care shouldn't be reserved for cars. It belongs in the rooms you come home to every day. The move wasn't a departure. It was a translation. The same obsessive attention, the same refusal to settle for good enough. Just applied to your home instead.

Every home tells a story, and my job is to help tell yours. That starts with genuinely understanding your life, who you are, how you live, and what makes you different from every other client I've worked with. Those individual qualities shape every decision. The result is a space that doesn't just feel beautiful, but could only ever belong to you.

Four ways to tell your story.

Whether it's a single room that's never quite worked, or a whole house that needs a fresh start, there's a way in that fits. Every fee is fixed and agreed upfront, so you can relax and focus on the part that matters: your home.

01

The Brief

This is where it all begins. Two unhurried hours in your home, talking honestly about how you live: what's working, what isn't, and what you've always wished you could change. You'll leave with a clear, written direction for your home and the calm that comes from finally having a plan.

  • Every room walked through together: what's working, what isn't, and why
  • An honest conversation about how you live now and how you'd love to live
  • A written Design Direction Document, yours to keep
  • A clear priority list of what to tackle first, and why it matters
  • Fee credited in full if you go on to a full project with us
£350 · Credited against any subsequent project
02

A Room, Resolved

For the room that's been bothering you for years, the one you walk past and think "one day." This is that day. We take it from brief to completely resolved, so you can finally stop thinking about it and start enjoying it.

  • An in-depth conversation about the room and a visit to see it for ourselves
  • A layout that finally makes sense, planned to scale, down to the last centimetre
  • Every material, finish, and fixture chosen with care and explained clearly
  • Contractor-ready drawings, so the people doing the work know exactly what to do
  • If you'd like, we can also source and order everything for you, at 12% trade cost
  • Smaller rooms: from £1,500
  • Larger & complex spaces: from £2,500
  • Exact fee agreed after initial conversation
03

The Floorplan Review

For when the plans are on the table but something still feels off and you can't quite put your finger on what. We look at your drawings through the eyes of the people who'll actually live there, and catch the problems now, while they're still easy to fix.

  • A fresh pair of eyes on your architectural or developer drawings
  • A walk-through of how each space will really be used, day to day
  • The little issues (an awkward door swing, a too-narrow hallway) caught before they're built
  • A clear, written report with our recommendations
  • Amended CAD drawings sent straight to your architect, available from £1,200
  • Apartment / smaller property: from £850
  • Full house or development: from £1,800
  • Amended CAD drawings: from £1,200
  • Exact fee agreed after initial conversation
04

The Lighting Plan

Lighting is the difference between a room that feels flat and a room that feels alive, and it has to be planned before the ceilings go up. We design the whole picture, room by room, so every space feels warm, calm, and considered, morning or night.

  • A complete lighting scheme, planned at exactly the right stage of the build
  • Layered light for every mood: soft and relaxed, or bright and practical
  • Every chandelier, pendant, and downlight placed exactly where it should be
  • Switches and dimmers positioned where you'll actually want to use them
  • A clear schedule your electrician can simply pick up and follow
  • Apartment & single floor: from £1,200
  • Full house: from £1,500 per floor
  • Exact fee agreed after initial conversation

A commercial eye
on every decision.

A development or rental property isn't just a home. It's an investment. Every layout, finish, and specification we recommend is measured against one question: will this add value?

01

Layout that lets

We review and optimise floor plans with letting and sale in mind, maximising usable space, improving flow, and making every square foot earn its place.

02

Specification that attracts

Material and finish selections that appeal to quality tenants and buyers, at a price point that protects your margin. Nothing gratuitous, nothing that dates quickly.

03

Process that fits your timeline

We work around construction schedules, communicate directly with site teams, and make decisions efficiently so the project keeps moving and you're not chasing answers.

04

Outcome you can measure

Stronger rental yields, faster lettings, higher achieved sale prices. We've delivered whole-house renovations and new developments across Surrey, London, and Wales.

We had the pleasure of working with Mâvee Interiors on the complete refurbishment of a dilapidated building in Cardiff, transforming it into a modern, open, and light-filled home while carefully preserving the property's original character. From initial design concept through to material selection and delivery, Hatice demonstrated exceptional professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. Her ability to blend contemporary design with the building's historic character resulted in a truly outstanding transformation. Her commitment to quality, meticulous planning, and collaborative approach made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We would highly recommend Mâvee Interiors to anyone seeking a professional, detail-oriented interior design service that delivers exceptional results.

The property hadn't been redecorated in nearly twenty years and was in need of a complete refresh — outdated fixtures, tired finishes, and a persistent challenge with limited storage space. Hatice approached it with real creativity, finding innovative ways to introduce additional storage while using lighting cleverly to open up the space and give it a sense of airiness it had never had. My involvement was limited to the key decision points. The time-consuming design work, market research, and site visits were handled entirely by Mâvee Interiors, which made the process remarkably straightforward. The tenants chose to stay on rather than move out during the works, which speaks for itself. I have no doubt that if the property were re-listed today, it would command a significantly higher rent. More than that, it has brought genuine comfort and joy to the people living there — and that is something I couldn't have achieved on my own.
