welcome to my space! born a california girl and raised in the pacific
northwest, I moved from seattle to charleston, driving cross country to start
a new chapter with my husband. we live on johns island with our son lucca,
and french bulldog, biggie smalls. between finding the newest restaurant
and cooking at home, my love for food rivals my love for design and helping
people find their home. when i’m not scheming my next meal, i’m planning
our next trip, exploring charleston, or hanging and going on walks with my
family. i chose a career that allows me to work with people on a personal
level, finding and creating a space that they can feel at home in, make it
beautiful, and make the process enjoyable. i look forward to making your
experience memorable!

client love and appreciation
“Marinela was our designer
for a bar build in Seattle WA, for which I
was the general contractor. What a great
experience; well thought and thorough
drawings, clear and original ideas,
responsive, flexible, willing to listen and
adapt to new situations. It was a real treat
to to work with such a skilled designer
and great person”
“Marinela was amazing.
- She designed a new apartment in a
very complicated open space
format. She was creative, agile and
worked directly with me to ensure
everything was done perfectly. I
used her white glove service and it
was fantastic and every detail was
attended to in the delivery and
furniture set up. I will absolutely be
using her again and recommend her
to anyone in need of expert interior
design.“

- “We thoroughly enjoyed
working with Marinela Doar!
She was professional,
personable and worked hard
helping us find our next home.
We’re relocating from the
Northeast and needed
someone to be our eyes and
ears in Charleston. She let us
know as soon as new
properties were available that
met our criteria. Since we
couldn’t be there to see them
ourselves, Marinela
volunteered to visit the
properties and do video tours
of the homes and the
neighborhoods. She even
measured the dining room
space so we could make sure
our table would fit. We can’t
thank her enough! - C. Collett

“We are just at the beginning
stages of our new home project
but so far we love working with
Marinela at Styled In. After next
week, I'll get a much better
sense of her capabilities and
expertise but feel confident that
she will help us design the type
of home we always dreamed of!

Kaleb Kerr
“Marinela was amazing.
We have just had the best experience securing our new home on John's Island, SC
With her positive and enthusiastic support. Marinela Doar made this search fun instead of tedious
When the first option fell through she was quick to offer other even better options. Her background in Interior Design was so helpful. We were quickly able to picture ourselves in our new home.
- Her knowledge of the neighborhood was most helpful in making us feel like we could merge into the new community with ease. Last but most important her professionalism was apparent throughout the process and we couldn't be happier with our new home or with our choice of Marinela as our RE Professional.”
