Sandy Bonnici Interiors

Sandy Bonnici Interiors is an interior design and architecture practice based at Uppercrust Suites in Swieqi, a residential area just inland from St Julian's on Malta's north-east coast. The practice was set up to provide interior design expertise tailored to each client's needs and personality. Its portfolio is built around seafront apartments in Sliema, St Julian's and Ta' Xbiex, plus family homes and a hotel.

On VisitMalta.co.uk the practice appears in our directory of interior designers in Malta, where you can compare studios before you make contact.

Style and approach

The practice prides itself on a versatile approach and a varied range of projects, from bringing a timeless restoration back to life to adding warmth and character to a modern development. Sandy's signature style combines modern comfort and sleek lines in a contemporary look with a touch of classical influence.

As a creative designer, Sandy believes in thinking outside the box, generating new ideas and designing without fear or pretence. The practice looks for rewarding projects that call for innovation, dedication and charisma. For a UK buyer that is useful to know: the aim is a home that feels personal rather than a catalogue look, shaped by your tastes, your habits and the character of the building itself, whether that is an older property worth restoring or a new apartment block.

Services

Residential and commercial design covers a personal home, rental property, office, spa, bar, hotel or other commercial space. Once the general layout of a space is agreed, the practice can propose a lighting scheme to enhance the design.

A large part of design development is creating the technical plans a project needs, from furniture layouts onwards, and on request clients can have photo-realistic 3D renderings of residential or commercial projects. On many projects Sandy Bonnici works with GRF Decorative Finishes, specialists in project management and contracting for finishing works. The collaboration gives clients one joined-up route from drawings to finished rooms. Together they offer an exclusive, personal service that takes over a project from the original blueprint right through to completion.

Who the practice suits

The service list names personal homes, rental properties, offices, spas, bars and hotels, so the practice can work for owner-occupiers, landlords letting to holidaymakers and businesses opening new premises. A rental owner might want durable, welcoming interiors, while a hotel or bar needs a clear concept, lighting that sets the mood and drawings that a contractor can price.

Because the practice also offers architecture and design, you can raise structural questions at the same time as choices about colour and furniture. Exploring island life first helps you decide how you will use the space: our things to do in Malta and Malta weather guide show how outdoor living and terraces fit through the year.

Portfolio and planning your project

Published projects include a contemporary family home, a high rise luxury apartment, the 123 Mainstreet Hotel, a Sliema seafront apartment, and several seafront apartments in Ta' Xbiex and St Julian's, among them a refurbished one. If you like the sound of a waterside address, our guide to hotels in Sliema covers the same stretch of coast, and hotels across Malta shows the wider choice.

Buying from the UK takes planning. Our Malta relocation guide and tax guide for UK nationals cover the big decisions, and where to stay in Malta helps with site visits. The Valletta guide is a good day trip from Ta' Xbiex. If you are a remote worker setting up a home office, read the digital nomad guide too.
