Beyond Borders Design

The art of new beginnings

Moving to another country is an exciting yet daunting step. Regardless whether this is your first international move, or have already relocated before, becoming an expat can cost a lot of time and energy.

Beyond Borders Design can support and unburden you during this process and take care of all the interior design work. Regardless of how long or short your stay in Germany will last.

Interior expert for expats

As an experienced interior designer in Mannheim I help expats who move to Germany or have already moved to turn a new house into a home. It’s an art to create a new home abroad. To convey that feeling of home through colours and shapes. I help you make the countless choices when it comes to interior decorating. By just combining relocated and new furniture, providing complete interior and styling advice, or even assisting you while looking at potential homes.

Let's plan

A complete interior design and styling advice. Including a mood board, 3D design, lighting plan and a product list, so you are able to design your new expat house easily and quickly yourself.

Find & Design

Need help finding your ideal expat house? Prior to the interior design, I could play an advisory role in viewing potential homes, so that all your housing needs can be fully realized.

Create & Move

Want to be completely taken care of when it comes to your interior? I can take care of the entire design and interior process from concept to completion of your new house. I’m able to closely work with contractors and suppliers on your behalf, so that you only have one point of contact. Within the agreed time schedule you will have a move-in ready home.

About me

In the Netherlands I’ve had my own interior design consultancy for 10 years. After our move, I decided to combine my experiences as an interior designer and expat.

My goal is to make your home in Germany as comfortable and personal as possible. I will help you in the process of finding and defining your own taste and the creation of a home that has been designed with care and love. That one place in the world that feels completely yours, with an interior that feels great to stay in.

Testimonials

“When we bought our new house, we first thought ... Is it really necessary to ask Marcella for help? But after our first introduction, we were completely enthusiastic. Marcella listened carefully to our wishes, took extensive time and also looked closely at our existing furniture. This has made the new house really beautiful, because she was able to combine our existing furniture perfectly with new things such as a cupboard, a rug and flower pots. Our new house looks cosy and there is so much more unity with a few simple ideas and tricks. Her colour advice for the rooms has also been worked out very well in consultation with us. As far as we’re concerned, next time we definitely ask Marcella for advice once more.”
