Interior Design in Marbella: An Award-Winning Studio's Approach

In brief: Interior design in Marbella spans far more than décor — here it usually means architecture, renovation, interior design, bespoke furniture and styling brought together for a single home. This is how we approach it at Brunello by Kats, an award-winning, fully integrated studio on the Costa del Sol.

Interior design in Marbella is a particular discipline. The clientele is international, the properties range from Golden Mile apartments to estate villas in La Zagaleta, and expectations are high — buyers want a finished home, not a years-long project. Delivering that here means handling architecture, construction, interior design and furnishing as one coherent piece of work rather than a series of separate contracts.

An award-winning approach

In 2026 our work was recognised at the highest level: Brunello by Kats was named an Award Winner at the European Property Awards 2026–2027, in two categories — Residential Interior Apartment and Residential Renovation / Redevelopment — both for our Aloha Hills apartment in Marbella. Winning both the interior and the renovation category for a single home reflects exactly how we work.

What interior design in Marbella actually involves

A serious project here is assessed from the architecture up — proportions, light, circulation and materials — before anything is decorated. From there it moves through technical design, renovation and fit-out, bespoke joinery and furniture, lighting, and a final layer of textiles, art and styling. Our guide to the interior design process in Marbella walks through how a project unfolds, and our guide to choosing an interior design studio covers the questions worth asking before you sign.

One integrated studio, one team

Brunello by Kats is structured as a fully integrated holding — architecture, interior design, renovation, construction and custom furniture and FF&E under one roof. A single team owns the project from first concept to final furniture placement, so every question — who does the work, who's accountable, who supervises installation — has the same answer.

Designed for the Marbella home

No two Marbella projects are alike, and where you buy shapes the brief. We compare La Zagaleta, Sierra Blanca and the Golden Mile for renovation, and took an estate villa to completion in our La Zagaleta interior. Whether you're weighing a branded residence against a bespoke home, planning for the climate with outdoor and terrace design, or following this year's 2026 interior design trends, the fundamentals stay the same: design made for how you actually live.

Design that holds its value

In a top location the interior is part of the asset. A professionally designed, fully furnished home stands apart from comparable listings and supports the property's value over time, and our turnkey cost guide breaks down what an honest budget should include.
