Arrival Ready Interior Design & Renovation Support for Greek Diaspora, Foreign Investors and Busy Executives Moving to Greece

Premium, end-to-end interior design for foreign buyers, relocating families, and international homeowners who want a home that feels finished, elevated, and fully managed.

Clear process. International standards. Beautifully executed homes in Greece.

Buying or moving into property in Greece should not feel like a second full-time job.

You don’t have to coordinate suppliers and deliveries, question every finish, manage renovations remotely, or arrive to a home that still feels unfinished.


Our clients come to us because they want more than decoration. They want clarity, trust, and a home that is ready to support the life they are building here.

If you are buying, this is the perfect time to get it right.

If you renting, you don’t need to live in a space that doesn’t fully feel like home.

What you want is simple. The execution usually isn’t.

Certainty

You want to know your property is being handled properly, even when you are not in the country.

Belonging

You want a home that reflects your lifestyle, not the generic design you see everywhere here.

Relief

You want the pressure off your plate, not another stream of decisions and delays.

Confidence

You want experienced guidance, refined taste, and decisions you will not regret later.

Welcome Home Walkthrough

When you arrive in Greece, we do a final walk through, in person or virtually, to ensure everything feels right and any final tweaks are made.

  • We meet on video, talk through your move, your lifestyle, your timelines, and your budget. You show us the property (listing link, videos, floor plans). We discuss what’s realistic—and what’s worth doing now versus later.

  • We translate your story, taste, and practical needs into a clear design direction and phased plan. You’ll see where your budget is best spent: kitchens, baths, lighting, or furnishings—no guesswork.

  • We create layouts, mood boards, selections, and (where needed) technical drawings for contractors. You review everything remotely via video calls and shared documents, with transparent revisions.

  • For full-service and turnkey projects, we coordinate with suppliers and trades, manage deliveries, and oversee installation. You receive video and photo updates as your home takes shape.

    For e-design clients, you receive your full design, a full product sheet with links to purchase, and styling notes.

  • When you arrive in Greece, we do a final walk through—either in person or virtually—to ensure everything feels right and any final tweaks are made.

    For e-design clients purchasing the Signature package or above, we do a virtual walk through together after you completed your project.

You didn’t move to Greece for exposed plumbing and 30+ year old kitchen cabinets.

You want to move into a space the feels modern, culturally fluent and uniquely yours - without the headaches.

Why clients choose to work with Violeta

There are a lot of wonderful designers in Greece, there are not a lot of interior designers who are also expats.

I moved here in 2020 and have remodeled several homes, designed dozens of short term rentals, and know exactly how Greece works. I also know how hard it can be at first, as a foreigner, to get things done here.

That’s exactly why I started Studio de la Serna-to help expats and foreigners, like me, get things done in a way we are more accustomed to, transparently and in a modern fashion.

Today, I have a team I trust, trade partners that know how I work, and know what to look for in new & old properties.

I sincerely look forward to helping you create the lifestyle and dream home you moved here for.

Here’s to your new journey,

Violeta de la Serna
