How much does a luxury interior design project cost in Portugal?
It is one of the first questions asked by anyone thinking of renovating a home, but the answer cannot be reduced to a price per square metre or a price list.
In a high-end project, the investment depends on the size and characteristics of the property, the extent of the work involved, the level of customisation, the materials and finishes chosen, and the support required right through to completion.
At Margarida Bugarim Interiores, each project is developed meticulously and on a bespoke basis, seeking to strike a balance between the client’s vision, the characteristics of the space, the quality of the solutions and the available budget.
A luxury project does not necessarily have to be unaffordable. True luxury lies in the quality of the process, the attention to detail and the ability to create a space designed specifically for those who live there.
No two projects are the same. That is precisely why, at Margarida Bugarim Interiores, we do not work with off-the-shelf solutions.
A flat in Lisbon, a villa in Cascais or a historic house may each require completely different approaches. The project is built around the property and, above all, the people who will live there.
This is where Margarida Bugarim Interiores’ work really stands out. Every project is developed with meticulous care, in a personalised and coherent manner, from the overall concept right down to the small details that make all the difference to the final result.
Bespoke furniture, joinery solutions, custom upholstery, fabrics, lighting, rugs and decorative items can be selected or designed specifically for a particular space.
The aim is not simply to create a home that follows a trend. It is to create a home that has its own identity and reflects the client’s personality and lifestyle.
In a luxury interior design project, quality lies not only in the most expensive materials, but in the way they are chosen and combined.
Marble, wood, fabrics, metals, finishes, lighting and furniture are analysed in terms of the overall effect, the use of the space and the desired outcome.
At Margarida Bugarim Interiores, the selection process is meticulous, aiming to find the right solution for every project and every budget, without compromising on aesthetic coherence or the final quality.
Hiring Margarida Bugarim Interiores involves much more than simply receiving suggestions for furniture and décor.
There is a process of research, development, selection, design, supervision and coordination that enables an idea to be transformed into a finished space.
Every project begins with an understanding of the client, the property and how the space will be lived in.
From there, Margarida Bugarim Interiores develops an overarching concept that guides the various design decisions.
Layout, materials, colours, lighting, furniture and décor are considered as parts of a single whole, ensuring consistency across all rooms.
Where the project calls for it, the studio develops bespoke solutions through Home Couture, including made-to-measure furniture, upholstery, headboards, curtains, rugs and other pieces designed specifically for the space.
This approach allows solutions to be tailored to the proportions, requirements and specific characteristics of each home, creating interiors that would be almost impossible to replicate.
Coordination and monitoring right through to the final result
A high-quality project does not end when the design is complete.
The coordination of suppliers, teams, production, joinery, installation and fitting is essential to ensure that what was conceived in the design is executed with the required precision.
It is this integrated approach that enables Margarida Bugarim Interiores to deliver turnkey projects, offering clients greater peace of mind throughout the entire process.
This is a legitimate question, and the answer begins with an important point: a luxury project is not synonymous with an unaffordable investment.
Margarida Bugarim Interiores develops highly personalised and meticulous projects, with a high level of support and attention to detail, whilst at the same time seeking to offer balanced and competitive proposals within the market.
The investment is determined according to the actual scope of each project and what the client aims to achieve.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution to every project, the studio seeks to understand where it makes sense to invest more, where optimisation is possible, and which choices will have the greatest impact on the final result.
This approach enables the studio to develop high-standard projects without creating an unnecessary distance between the client and the service.
Luxury can mean exclusivity, quality and personalisation — without implying excess.
At Margarida Bugarim Interiores, the process begins with a meeting at the studio.
It is at this initial stage that we have the opportunity to get to know the client, assess the property, understand their expectations and objectives, and discuss some initial ideas.
Only once we have a clear understanding of the project is it possible to define its scope and provide a suitable proposal.
A family home will have different requirements to a second home. A detached house in Cascais will have different characteristics to a flat in Lisbon. A complete refurbishment will require a different approach to a project that is primarily decorative.
It is precisely this personalised approach that enables Margarida Bugarim Interiores to tailor the project to the client, rather than forcing the client to adapt to a pre-established model.
When assessing the investment in an interior design project, it is important to look beyond the cost of each item or service.
You are also investing in experience, expertise, planning and peace of mind.
A meticulous project allows you to plan ahead, avoid incompatibilities, coordinate different suppliers and minimise errors during the execution phase.

And then there is the value of time.
By working with a design studio that manages the project in an integrated manner, the client does not need to manage dozens of suppliers, choices, deliveries and decisions individually.
It is precisely this combination of design quality, personalisation and support that defines the service provided by Margarida Bugarim Interiores.
With over 25 years’ experience and more than 250 completed projects, Margarida Bugarim Interiores undertakes residential and commercial projects in Portugal and internationally.
Under the creative direction of Margarida Bugarim, each project seeks to strike a balance between comfort, functionality and personality.

The aim is not to create ostentatious interiors or to follow trends to the letter. It is to develop sophisticated, comfortable and timeless spaces, where every choice has a purpose.
This vision underpins the ‘homes to love’ concept: homes that their owners adore today and will continue to cherish tomorrow.

For anyone looking for an interior designer in Lisbon, Cascais or elsewhere, the choice of design studio should take into account not only the investment, but also the experience, the working process, the quality of the solutions and the ability to see the project through to completion.
At Margarida Bugarim Interiores, every project begins with a conversation.
It is during this first meeting that we get to know your expectations, understand the space and begin to define the vision for your future home.
From there, the studio develops a bespoke design, thought through in detail and tailored to each client’s scope and budget.
Because hiring an interior design studio isn’t simply about choosing furniture or décor.
It means having a vision, a team and professional expertise capable of transforming that vision into a home that is truly yours.
The cost depends on the property’s characteristics, the scale and complexity of the work, the level of customisation, and the materials, furniture and services involved. At Margarida Bugarim Interiores, each proposal is developed in accordance with the specific scope of each project.
An interior design project carried out by Margarida Bugarim Interiores includes defining the project concept, presenting floor plans, mood boards and 3D renderings, specifying all the materials required for the décor (furniture, fabrics, lighting, art pieces, rugs, etc.) and designing bespoke pieces, if required. We also take care of all budgeting, procurement, management and logistics – a truly turnkey service.
Yes. The studio undertakes turnkey projects, bringing together different stages and stakeholders, from the concept and development of the project through to its execution, installation and final handover.
The first step is to get to know the property and understand the client’s needs, expectations and objectives. At Margarida Bugarim Interiores, the process begins with a meeting at the studio, where we align expectations and discuss initial ideas. Only then is it possible to define the scope of the project and present a suitable proposal.
