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!

“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
    | Buyer

“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.”
