Three ways
to work together.
Whether it’s a full design project, focused decoration or remote work — the intent is the same: spaces made with care.
Full Cycle Design
The full journey from first meeting to a finished interior: space planning, technical drawings, custom-made furniture, lighting and textile specifications, and on-site supervision.
ForPrivate villas, apartments and turnkey renovations.
Decoration & Styling
Working with a finished interior without construction work: decor, wall finishes, furniture, textiles, lighting, rugs and art. We refine what shifts how a space feels — in part or as a whole.
ForNew-builds, relocations and a second life for existing interiors.
Remote Decoration
Decor and a refresh of a finished space from a distance: palette, furniture, textiles and lighting, a shopping list and a clear action plan — no construction work.
ForSecond homes, investment properties and clients running the build themselves.

⸻ About
Angelina Otto
I believe interiors should feel more than just “beautiful”. They should carry atmosphere, reflect personality and create an emotional connection with the people living inside them.
Through materiality, light and composition, I design spaces that feel elevated, expressive and deeply lived-in.
Process
From first meeting
to the final touch.
Every project follows the same framework — it brings clarity and calm, whichever city you’re in.
-
I.
Discovery
An in-person meeting in Alicante, a video call or an email. At this stage we listen more than we talk: how you live, your habits, the spaces you love, what your home should do.
-
II.
Brief
You fill in an extended questionnaire, then we meet again and go through it together. The outcome is a shared understanding of you, your lifestyle and habits, and a list of priority decisions.
-
III.
Concept
Mood board, several floor-plan options, indicative furniture, lighting and zoning solutions. We refine it until the concept feels like yours.
-
IV.
Design Project
A complete set of working documentation: drawings, electrical and lighting plans, floor and ceiling finishes, custom-made furniture, lighting and textile specifications. Builders and contractors work from it.
-
V.
Procurement & Supervision
Ordering materials and furniture, contracts with contractors, on-site coordination and supervision on the project until the home is ready to welcome you.
Frequently Asked
Before your first email.
Short answers to the questions that come up most on a first call. If something’s left unanswered — write to me and I’ll reply personally.
Which areas do you work in?
I’m an interior designer based in Alicante and I work on-site across the city and its residential districts — San Juan and Cabo de las Huertas — as well as Jávea, Altea, Moraira and Dénia. For the rest of the Costa Blanca, and for clients further afield, I work remotely: meetings and presentations happen over video, and I source materials with your climate and lifestyle in mind.
What does full cycle design include?
Space planning, all technical drawings and plans, custom-made furniture, lighting and textile specifications, coordination with contractors and on-site supervision. From the first meeting to the moment you carry in your suitcase.
How is an interior designer different from a decorator and an architect?
An architect is responsible for the building’s structure — walls, slabs, openings. An interior designer works within finished walls: layout, in-room engineering solutions, materials, furniture, light, textiles. Decoration is the final stage: what changes how a space feels, without touching walls or layout.
In practice these roles often overlap, and I lead the project across all three levels, drawing on an architect when needed.
Can we work remotely if I live in another country?
Yes — from a distance I take on decor and the refresh of a finished space: palette, furniture, textiles and lighting, a shopping list and a clear action plan. Meetings and presentations happen over video, and I source materials with your climate and lifestyle in mind.
What languages can we communicate and document in?
With me — in Russian, English and Spanish, spoken and written. Documentation for contractors is always issued in Spanish, so there are no misreadings on site.
What does on-site supervision include?
Regular site visits, prompt revisions to drawings, control of materials and quality of work. I deal with contractors in my own name and take responsibility for the result — you needn’t worry about a thing.
Do you also take on full renovations (reformas)?
I work on renovation projects, but within my role: I’m an interior designer, not a building contractor. I produce the full design project for the renovation — layout, drawings, materials, furniture, lighting — and run the site supervision: I coordinate the trades and make sure the work is built as designed. Demolition, masonry and the installations themselves are carried out by the build team; I’m responsible for the design and the final result. If you’re only after a turnkey renovation with no design project, that isn’t my service.
How much does an interior designer cost in Alicante?
There’s no single rate — it depends on the scope. The drivers are the floor area, the starting point (new build, a just-finished home or a renovation), how deep the project goes (concept only, full project, or supervision on top) and how much of the furniture is custom-made. I quote the price individually after a first conversation, once I’ve seen the space and what you need. Materials, furniture and the build itself are costed separately and always stay your decision.
When is the best time to bring in a designer?
The earlier the better. Ideally — when choosing the property or right after buying it: then the designer can still influence the layout, engineering and lighting scenarios. At the latest — before finishing works begin, so nothing has to be redone.
