CHROMA HOME is your sanctuary, your soul-filled living space that invites you to be yourself and thrive in everything you do. It is about functional interiors infused with color that promote comfort, beauty, harmony, and healing.
“The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love colour the most”.
John Ruskin
noun chro·ma \ ˈkrō-mə \ χρωμα
In my native Greek, CHROMA means COLOR. Offering CHROMA is also a metaphor for ‘giving character’, ‘bringing essence’ and ‘anointing’.
I LOVE infusing ‘Chroma’ into your home. I feel honored that you open your door to me. Whether it is a new empty space or a house lived in for a while, I love to come in and give it color and just the right essence for you.
Love is the first ingredient in Maria’s work. She loves creating and she loves people. Her approach is:
Love what you do and it will love you back!
Besides following Interior Design principles, Maria has the ability to see beyond what is in front of her eyes and act as a conduit of change and transformation. Over the years she has learned to balance her knowledge and her inspiration. This guides her in the right direction creating beautiful living spaces that reflect the client’s taste and meet their individual wants and needs.
Maria’s natural creative mind likes to play with the status quo and think out of the box. She will never stop thinking until the ideal concept settles in her heart. She loves mixing color and pattern and often will add a twist of whimsy. She likes to challenge herself to take risks to achieve the unexpected.
The little things are the ones that make the biggest impact to the whole equation. Maria knows how to pay attention to the detail that refines each project and makes it personalized and unique.
As every client’s lifestyle is different, Maria’s caring approach shows respect and thoughtfulness of their particular goals and desires rather than following her own agenda. Her focus is to find solutions and create living spaces that are conducive to the well-being of those living there. Her ethos boils down to: “Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people” Colossians 3:23
Maria’s many years in the furnishings industry have resulted in an extensive network of to-the-trade-only resources, providing quality and unique goods that are not typically accessible to the regular public. She also strives to keep abreast of the latest industry trends and developments so as to serve her clients better. Maria’s designs reflect tailor-made furniture selections and curated materials that make each home’s characteristics a true personalization of the homeowners.
Maria ‘reads’ spaces with her heart, and listens to what they have to say. She likes to treat space as a living entity rather than four walls full of “stuff”. It is always remarkable how each project’s choices unfold and how the sequence of decisions falls beautifully into place. Homes wonderfully transform into more practical, inviting, and comfortable interiors. They become Everyday Getaways.
