“Maria Markou was sensitive to the heritage and gothic renaissance details of our warehouse conversion of the 150 year old pub we needed styled for the market place Maria was warm, fun and enthusiastic and her creativity shone in showcasing and delivering furnishings to suit an elegant, quirky, contemporary 5 bedroom home.

Her professional, no fuss, and easy going demeanour helped soothe our frazzled nerves as she delivered an amazing interior with beautiful furnishings, vibrant paintings, and inviting outdoor settings.

Our property sold $600,000 over reserve, so thank you Maria. We would not hesitate to use your wise counsel again”.

“I thank Maria and her team. They recently styled our house for the marketing campaign and the service we received was invaluable. We used a few property styling companies before and I have to say Maria will be the one who I will use in the future and she will be the one that I am going to recommend to vendors I know.

The transformation of her styling was phenomenal. It raised up the appearance of my house to a whole new level and this gave me the confidence to achieve the target price I wanted.

One of the groups who inspected the house said even some of the much more expensive properties in Toorak didn’t have such beautiful interior that this house had. We easily sold at our reserve price.”

“Maria Markou of Oikos Design is one of the most creative and talented designers I have ever met. She recently completed design work on our new apartment.

She has an outstanding visual sense and just seems to know where to place objects in the right place. We trusted her to buy furniture for us without us even going to look .Everything was perfect.

She has a lovely personality, is very reliable and was a pleasure to be associated with”.
