Back to original languageAbout Ivana
I help private clients, B&B hosts, and practice owners create spaces that not only look beautiful but also function effectively in everyday life. With my dual background in interior design and physiotherapy, I know the importance of ergonomics, freedom of movement, and accessibility – and combine this knowledge with creative color and material concepts. Whether it's a economically successful holiday property, low-barrier living, or aesthetic practice design: with 3D visuals (SketchUp), mood boards, furnishing solutions, and personal shopping recommendations, you gain clarity, avoid costly mistakes, and invest in spaces that enhance well-being and identity.
- Private clients: The question 'New furniture, yes or no?' accompanies many. I combine existing pieces with new accents, develop storage and zoning solutions, and thus create a home that provides structure and calm – fitting your everyday life, without extensive renovations.
- B&B hosts: Investments must pay off. Even small changes – a harmonious color concept, optimized floor plans, or targeted material selection – increase attractiveness and boost profitability through more bookings and satisfied guests.
- Accessible Living & Practices: People with disabilities or seniors need spaces that are safe, functional, and at the same time homely. From my experience in physiotherapy, I know the requirements for freedom of movement, ergonomics, and everyday suitability – and combine this knowledge with interior design, so that accessibility doesn't look like a hospital. For practice owners, I develop concepts that are aesthetic and modern, yet accessible – spaces that build trust and relieve both patients and staff.
