Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is slow living and wabi-sabi interior design?
Slow living is a lifestyle that values simplicity, connection with nature, and daily well-being. Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy that celebrates the beauty of imperfection, naturalness, and authenticity in spaces. MR Studio combines these concepts to create elegant, cozy, and timeless interiors.

2. How does the design process work at MR Studio?
We start with a consultation to understand your needs and lifestyle. Then we develop a personalized concept focused on natural materials and sustainable design. Finally, we oversee the execution to ensure quality in every detail.

3. What is the typical timeline for an interior design project?
The timeline varies depending on the project’s complexity. While the design development and approvals usually take between 3 to 6 months, the implementation phase can take longer due to dependencies on contractors, material availability, and current market conditions in Portugal.
