Mina Design Studio

Mina Design Studio is an interior design practice in Msida that plans and furnishes homes, offices and hospitality venues, working across Malta and into other European countries. Its look is calm, natural and Mediterranean in spirit, built around warm timber, stone and soft tones rather than bold statements.

For a UK buyer with a new apartment, a villa to refurbish or a holiday home to equip, the studio can handle the whole job from first sketch to final styling, and the interiors on VisitMalta.co.uk sit within our directory of interior designers in Malta.

The studio and its approach

The studio takes its inspiration from the Mediterranean: its light, its textures and its easy sense of harmony, combined with modern design ideas. The aim is interiors that feel both rooted in place and refined, with simple lines, natural materials and a story behind each space. The team intends to stay boutique as it grows, so projects keep a personal touch.

The studio is led by its founder and lead designer, Ons, and the wider team includes architects, a designer, a 3D artist and an AI artist. In 2025 the studio won the MASP Award for best interior architecture for commercial and public buildings and was a nominee in the residential category.

Residential interiors

Residential work covers modern apartments, private villas and turnkey holiday homes across Malta and Europe. The designers start by learning how you live, then plan living areas, bedrooms and dressing rooms, kitchens and dining rooms, bathrooms and ensuites, home offices, entrances and outdoor terraces.

Examples include a high-rise penthouse in Mercury Tower, a villa by the coast and Kalkara House, set in the historic harbour area explored in our Three Cities guide. Whatever the size of the home, the studio's residential interiors are designed for everyday living, so the finish is personal, practical and meant to age gracefully rather than follow a passing trend. A current apartment project in Verdala uses warm timber, natural textures and expressive marble with sculptural furniture and subtle lighting.

Commercial and hospitality design

On the commercial side the studio designs corporate offices, meeting rooms, reception areas, retail spaces, studios and collaborative workspaces, paying attention to acoustics, lighting and movement so that a workplace feels comfortable and suits the brand. Projects in its portfolio include an iGaming office, a Gżira office and a shopping mall, which may interest firms in the sector described in our iGaming in Malta guide.

Hospitality work includes restaurants and cafes, hotel and suite interiors, pool, spa and wellness areas, beach clubs, lounges and bars. Named projects include Dee Spa, Mistral and Scirrocco, and Club 33, a vinyl bar concept in Amsterdam finished in 2026. The studio approaches these venues by combining operational logic with atmosphere, using lighting, materials and flow to create a mood that gives guests a reason to return. If you are choosing where to stay first, see our guide to hotels in Sliema.

How a project runs

The studio sets out a seven-step process: a concept and moodboard with layout proposals, colours, materials and atmosphere; technical design development; 3D visuals and renders; furniture, lighting and materials; project and site coordination; styling and handover; and an optional turnkey delivery in which the studio carries the project through to the end.

This suits overseas owners who cannot visit often, and our Malta relocation guide explains the wider move. A consultation can be booked through the studio, and the contact form asks whether your project is commercial, residential, hospitality or something else.
