My professional roots are in Poland, where I founded and led an award-winning interior design practice. Today, my work continues in Portugal through Atelier Vangor Palmela, combining technical precision, artistic instinct and natural textures to create spaces with soul.
The Vision
I believe that a well-designed interior is the silent foundation of everyday harmony. Every project starts with attentive listening and is shaped around real lifestyle needs, whether the brief is a private residence or a public environment such as hospitality or office spaces.
Beyond the Blueprint
Architecture is my discipline, art is my language. Alongside interior architecture, I develop bespoke abstract paintings with palettes and textures aligned to each interior concept, so the artwork feels fully integrated and intentional.
My Values
In every commission, I prioritize beauty, functionality and lasting comfort. I work as a trusted partner throughout the process, simplifying decisions and ensuring clarity from the first concept to final installation.

Creating Your Sanctuary in Portugal
I believe that a home is more than just a place; it is a reflection of your journey and a foundation for your well-being. With over 15 years of experience in interior architecture, I bring a blend of Polish precision and Portuguese soul to every project.
My mission is to handle the complexities of local logistics and design, allowing you to simply enjoy the process of seeing your dream home come to life.
Here is how I can help you
1. Turnkey Interior Design
A seamless journey from vision to reality. Moving to a new country is a grand adventure, and your home should be your anchor. I specialize in creating ready-to-live spaces for expats, handling every detail so you do not have to.
A Curated Experience: Through Atelier Vangor, I offer you access to a wide world of exquisite furniture and decor suppliers that I have personally vetted.
Peace of Mind: I act as your local partner, navigating the logistics and language so that the process of creating your home is as joyful as living in it.
2. Interior Decoration & Styling
The art of feeling at home. Sometimes, a space just needs a refined eye to bring it to life. I help you layer textures, light, and soul into your existing rooms.
Personalized Curation: I select pieces that do not just fill a room but tell your story.
Harmony: My focus is to create a cohesive atmosphere where every element, from a decorative cushion to a significant lamp, seems to have its natural place.
3. Home Staging for Investors
Inviting people to fall in love. For those investing in the Portuguese market, I translate potential into perfection.
Emotional Connection: I do not just stage a property; I style a lifestyle that resonates with high-end buyers the moment they walk through the door.
Professional Insight: Drawing on my experience as a trainer in this field, I use light and space to highlight your property's best features, ensuring it stands out in the luxury market.
4. Bespoke Abstract Art
A conversation between canvas and space. A room is never truly finished without art that speaks to it. I create custom abstract paintings that are born from the very palette of your interior.
Textural Harmony: Using nature-inspired textures and colors carefully matched to your fabrics and walls, I create a piece that grounds the room.
Unique Identity: This is not just a decoration; it is an original expression of the beauty and comfort I build into your home.
Testimonials
"Ewa is an amazing interior architect working in the Lisbon and Setúbal areas. You can truly feel how much heart she puts into her work. She listens carefully, understands your vision, and transforms spaces in a thoughtful, beautiful way. Highly recommended!"
Ewa - Oeiras
"I recommend Ewa 100%. She was always cordial and polite, but above all very transparent throughout the whole process, always available to answer my questions. Extremely attentive to detail. The result exceeded my expectations: she perfectly combined design, elegance, and harmony with the rest of the house. I had a lifeless white corridor; now it is my favorite part of the house, ready to welcome guests. I can't wait for the next project."
Cristiana - Palmela
"I entrusted Ewa to renovate a large, old Lisbon T8 apartment (around 200m²) into a modern, beautiful living space - and the result exceeded my expectations. She was completely unknown to me at the start, just a contact passed on by a friend, so I approached the project with some uncertainty. We debated many ideas during the process, and she won almost every 'battle.' In the end, she was right - the outcome proves it. She has an exceptional understanding of quality, materials, pricing, and the realities of the Portuguese market, including workforce availability. When something was too expensive, she always found smart, high-quality alternatives. And when she insisted it was worth investing more for a better result, she was absolutely correct. Her professionalism, vision, and practical mindset turned a challenging renovation into a smooth process and a stunning final space. I'm extremely happy with the transformation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a designer who combines creativity with real-world expertise."
