Your Interior Designer in south london, meet Maria Benaki

As the founder and creative lead of Studio Benaki, Maria Benaki brings together engineering expertise, cultural depth and creative expression.

Her understanding of structure ensures strong functional foundations, while her design sensibility introduces warmth, personality and narrative into each project. This interplay shapes the studio’s aesthetic: contemporary yet comforting, expressive yet grounded.

Maria begins each project by learning about you, how you live, your routines, your aspirations and the mood you want your home to evoke. She also studies the architecture of your property, ensuring each interior feels rooted in place. Our design philosophy is built around four principles: purpose, setting, personality and sustainability. These values guide every decision, ensuring interiors that honour a home’s history, celebrate individuality and prioritise enduring material choices.

Across South London’s varied architectural landscape, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to period conversions and modern apartments, Maria creates homes that respect context while introducing clarity, ease and contemporary comfort. The result is a space that feels timeless, expressive and uniquely tailored to each client.

Morer About Us

What They Say About Us

We’d never worked with an interior designer before and weren’t looking for a full redecoration—just some guidance. Maria was approachable, friendly, and really understood our needs as a young family. She gave us practical, creative ideas for storage and layout, along with moodboards and mock-ups that made it easy to picture the changes. She also has great contacts with reliable tradespeople, which takes away a lot of hassle. We loved how tailored the service felt and would highly recommend Maria to anyone—whether your project is big or small.

Marco & Elli

We worked with Maria on our 4-bed home renovation. Including the interiors for the open plan kitchen & living area, all the bedrooms & bathrooms. Maria was professional throughout the process, she listened carefully to our needs, understood our goals and always delivered fresh ideas and a creative vision that we couldn't have achieved without her. The transformation of our whole house has been incredible and our experience working with Studio Benaki was truly enjoyable. Throughout the process, Maria was attentive, approachable, and detail-oriented, taking away the stress and giving us confidence on our choices throughout the project. Our home now feels very functional & personal to us and we simply love it. We’re so grateful for her work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Studio Benaki to anyone looking to renovate their home.
