Magdalena Kiebala Interiors

HM: How has your role evolved over the years in terms of working with clients and the design process?

Magdalena Kiebala (MK): Early in my career, I focused on aesthetics—colors, furnishings, and finishes. Over time, my approach has become more holistic. Now, I focus on how spaces function and improve daily life, ensuring they reflect my clients’ lifestyles and comfort. I aim to create homes that feel uniquely theirs by truly understanding their needs.

HM: What sets your design services apart from others?

MK: I deeply care for my clients and their spaces. Every project feels personal to me, and I approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset. By building strong relationships with clients, I design spaces that reflect their personalities, and I truly appreciate the trust they place in me.

HM: What’s the biggest change you’ve noticed in interior design trends?

MK: There’s been a shift toward functionality-driven luxury. Homeowners now prioritize features that enhance daily living, like gourmet kitchens, cozy lounges, workspaces, home gyms, and smart technology. Luxury today isn’t just about aesthetics but blending beauty with practicality.

HM: How do you stay ahead of the latest design trends?

MK: Travel is my biggest source of inspiration. Having explored over 25 countries, I integrate cultural influences, architectural details, and design philosophies into my work, offering clients globally inspired designs.

HM: What’s the most luxurious or over-the-top feature you’ve designed?

MK: A hidden “prep kitchen” behind the main kitchen. It allows for effortless entertaining while keeping the mess out of sight, maintaining a pristine, luxurious primary kitchen.

HM: Any funny or memorable stories from your career?

MK: Designing my parents’ home in Poland remotely was both challenging and rewarding. Coordinating everything from abroad pushed my creativity and proved that great design has no boundaries.

HM: What aspect of interior design will always need a personal touch that technology can’t replace?

MK: The human connection. Technology can’t replicate the trust, intuition, and understanding that comes from building relationships with clients. Great design is about listening, interpreting emotions, and creating spaces that truly feel like home.
