About

Welcome to MJ Design! I’m Mariam, a property developer and interior designer with extensive experience in property building, renovation and restoration.

MJ Design exists today as an ode to my heartfelt passion for restoring, renovating and reusing, as well as upcycling property.

Committed to sustainable living, affordable and accessible to all

I don’t believe that great interior design and stylish homes that are also sustainable at the same time, is something you need to pay through the nose for. I build and renovate homes that people can call their sanctuary, their luxury getaway, and their place of joy. No matter what the cost or size – I make it happen for them, and in a way that’s totally accessible and affordable.

I have, in fact, renovated properties where every single thing in the property was either restored or renovated, including the antiques and timeless pieces of furniture. We’re talking about antiques, old Victorian baths, and old shutters and hoods handmade a 100 years ago. Sometimes, your dream property could be right under your nose – just begging for a new lease of life!

At MJ Design, we believe “new” does not necessarily mean better, “expensive” does not mean stylish, and “restored” certainly does not mean second-hand or preowned.

What sets us apart from other property developers and interior designers is that we make sustainability stylish, and beautiful attainable.

I will work with you as per your budget, approaching each project with your needs and those of the environment at heart.

I’ve even helped people restore items in their home which were rescued from reclamation yards – items which have a rich history and story to tell. Just have a look at my portfolio and you’ll see plenty of furniture and interior design items that scream: sustainable, beautiful, stylish, and still usable!
