Authentic Interiors. Elevated Living.
Welcome to MPD!
Authentic Interiors. Elevated Living.
At Marina Pavlova Design, we believe your home should feel as authentic as the people who live in it. Our approach blends creativity, functionality, and elevated aesthetics—bringing you interiors that are both beautiful and practical. Whether you’re planning a kitchen renovation in Ottawa, a bathroom update, or a full-home redesign, our goal is to help you love where you live, every single day.
Our Approach
Interior design is personal, and so is our process. We begin by listening to your lifestyle, your goals, and the story you want your home to tell. From there, we create a design plan that reflects your personality and elevates the way you live.
Every project starts with a Discovery Call and an on-site Project Assessment, followed by a clear Proposal. Once the plan is in place, we bring it to life through a Design-Only or Full-Service approach, depending on how involved you would like us to be.

Marina’s Journey
I’m Marina, founder and principal designer of Marina Pavlova Design. My path to design began in an unexpected place—technology. As a former IT professional and backend developer, I developed a sharp eye for detail and problem-solving, skills that now shape my design process.
After years of hands-on experience in real estate and designing my own home, I pursued formal training in interior decorating and home staging. Since relocating to Ottawa in 2018, I’ve had the privilege of helping homeowners across Kanata, Stittsville, Nepean, Manotick, Barrhaven, Orleans, and beyond transform their spaces. My work is rooted in authenticity, functionality, and elevated living—values that guide every project I take on.
