We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
In the early days, when they were first getting into immersive theming, we had to learn how to make fully custom designs and bring them to life, and there weren’t many great examples to follow. Finding the right team is crucial to success in industry, but especially this one. We also didn’t know how to price projects correctly, which means we lost money on those initial projects, but it provided valuable experience that allowed us to improve and systematize our operations over time.
From day one, our goal has been to deliver the absolute best designs focused on creating amazing guest experiences. We strive for our work to be iconic and go viral on social media, making owners incredibly proud to own a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Magic Interiors is committed to providing guests with an experience that reflects a 4-star hotel at a minimum in terms of comfort and convenience. These high standards have been established as the foundation of their design philosophy. The team is obsessed with continuous improvement and refining their process. When they find inspiration in something they like, they don’t simply copy it; instead, they use it as a springboard to create something even better.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
Designers had to quickly adapt to working remotely and using virtual tools to collaborate with clients and complete projects. Virtual consultations have been a big part of our process since most of our clients are vacation home investors.
Supply chain disruptions forced us to be more flexible and creative in our selections and sourcing. Dealing with longer lead times and product availability issues was a major challenge. But we’ve mastered the art of being resourceful, and luckily, we’re experts in problem-solving.
Stylistically, there was a return to more comforting, traditional design elements and an emphasis on making the home a cozy, relaxing retreat from the stresses of the pandemic.
Financially, we had to navigate an economic slowdown, tighter client budgets, and projects being put on hold.
We’ve learned that every adversity comes with an equal or greater opportunity.
