About
“I think in images, not in words. Shapes, materials, textures, colors, inspire and guide me to create harmonious living spaces that exude poetry and awaken the fantastical. I always relish the challenge to combine the odd things; the things that we see everyday and don’t pay attention to. These things can transform our daily life if we give them a little push in a different direction. After all, the arts are like our senses; they work better together.”

Milena’s mission has always been to create living spaces where humans can thrive; places with a heart, a soul and a distinct personality.
For more than 15 years, Milena has been creating such warm and welcoming spaces for homes, hotels, shops and brand activations. Her background studies in Deco
at Doxiadis School of Graphic Arts, as well as her years as a Style Editor in leading house and decoration publications (House & Garden, Maison Madame Figaro,
Casaviva), have given her a unique perspective on materials, colours and textures — and on how to interweave them so that they tell a visual story.
Milena launched her own company, Milena Panagiotova Deco Style Limited, in 2008. Since then she’s had the pleasure of working with clients such as
TEMES (the luxury resort Costa Navarino), Zeus International Group (Radisson, Hilton and Wyndham Hotels in Italy and Greece),
Coco-Mat Hotels, Titania Hotel, ISV Architects and with retail stores such as Neokatoikein, Entos, on a variety of interior design and deco styling projects.
She collaborates with several notable commercial photography studios in Athens:
Ioanna Nikolareizi, Studio Anastassatos, Mixalis Zorgias, Anastasia Adamaki and Vangelis Paterakis.
An avid world traveler, Milena draws inspiration from the vibrant cultures of the places she visits, imbuing her own aesthetic and artistic values to everything
from the smallest craft to the most demanding commercial project. She designs custom made furniture and furnishings and maintains her own line
of hand-crafted lamps and deco items, which she exhibits in notable art centers such as the Fougaro Art Center in Nafplio, Benaki Museum Shop and sold through
Coco-Mat stores in New York and Cyprus.
What is interior Styling ?
Interior styling is the art of making a space (be it a home, a hotel room or a shop window) look its absolute best.
In contrast to an interior designer, an interior stylist works mostly with the elements, objects and furniture at hand to curate the space.
Following your brief (and budget restrictions) an interior stylist will showcase the unique personality of your project or property,
adding the finishing touches that will make it shine.
From displaying products through thoughtful still life shots, to making even the most challenging corners of your home, hotel or professional space look
picture perfect, you’ll be surprised at how much of an impact interior styling can have on your business!
