Interior DesignPortugal
Residential interiors for apartments and houses across Portugal
— from layout planning and concept to furnishing, materials and implementation support.
About
I am Alina Savankova, an architect and interior designer based in Porto with over 8 years of experience. I work with apartments and houses across Portugal, creating spaces that feel calm, personal and carefully considered.
My approach is quiet and practical: I look for thoughtful layouts, balanced materials, comfortable proportions and details that support everyday life without making the interior feel overdesigned.
For me, interior design is not about decoration first. It is about the environment a person lives in — how morning light enters the room, how materials feel to the touch, how the layout gives a sense of calm, privacy and ease.
The Approach
Thoughtful layouts, proportions and functional logic.
Light, materials, colour, art and vintage pieces that shape the character of a home.
Spaces shaped around rest, work, hosting, movement and the feeling of home.
Selected projects
A focused selection of interior design, furnishing and styling projects across Portugal. The full portfolio is available on request.

"Collected, not decorated."
I create interiors that feel assembled over time — through architecture, light, materials, art, vintage pieces and the way people actually live.

We discuss your property, lifestyle, goals, timing and the type of support you need.
I analyse the space, your needs, references, budget logic and possible design direction.
We define the planning solution, zoning, atmosphere, colour direction and key interior decisions.
The concept is developed into visual materials, specifications and technical documentation.
If needed, I help with furniture, materials, suppliers and author's supervision during the implementation stage.
Reviews
Selected feedback from Houzz
“We didn’t just get a beautiful design; we got a complete turnkey solution. Alina managed the project from first sketches to renovation supervision and sourcing. The final result matched the 3D visualizations with rare precision, and the whole process felt smooth and stress-free.”
“We contacted Alina to review a layout that had already been prepared by another architect. We felt something wasn’t working, but couldn’t quite understand what. Alina quickly identified the weak points and offered a new vision with more logic, comfort and cohesion.”
“Alina transformed our apartment into a stylish and welcoming Airbnb space. She handled the furnishing and created a look that feels modern and cozy. After her work, we were able to increase our pricing, and the apartment continues to attract strong interest.”
