Mediterranean Interiors in Mallorca – Copper House Living

I have known Copper House Living for several years and have recognised their signature in various corners of Mallorca: calm tones, natural fabrics and an eye for detail. Founded by Maria‑Christine, the studio mainly works on residential projects – from city apartments in Palma to country houses in the Tramuntana. What strikes me is the balance between old and new: old stone walls or Mallorcan beams are respected, while modern functionality is subtly integrated to make living easier. Over coffee in the atelier, Maria‑Christine told me that her aim is to create spaces where people really want to spend time — not just places that look good. That sums it up. In this text I describe the design philosophy, the services offered and give practical tips on how to implement Mediterranean elements at home without falling into clichés.

Copper House Living – the studio in Palma

The studio in Palma feels more like a living atelier than a sober office. Small sketches, fabric samples and a few handpicked ceramics lie on the table; sometimes Maria‑Christine sits there with a client and draws floor plans on parchment paper. The work begins with listening: how does the family live, what matters to them, what does their daily routine look like. This is followed by sourcing materials — local lime paints, coarse linen, oiled oak floors and selected vintage pieces. Many projects stay in contact long-term because the studio’s philosophy focuses on longevity. Appointments are usually in the mornings, and you should allow a time window because real conversations still take place here. For me, the studio is an example of how good design can be locally rooted while thinking internationally.

Design philosophy: calm, material and history

Services: from a single room to a complete renovation

Copper House Living offers a full package: concept, space planning, material and furniture sourcing, coordination of tradespeople and final styling. For many clients this means: arrival, key handover and a ready‑furnished home. They work on smaller tasks — a new living room, a bathroom — as well as complete renovations together with architects. Particularly helpful is the project management: schedules, site coordination and transparent cost breakdowns take a lot off the clients’ plates. Those who want to stay local benefit from the studio’s network: suppliers from Spain and Europe, often with sustainable production.

Practical tips for Mallorcan living

If you want a Mediterranean feel at home, start with fabrics and light: light linen curtains, simple blinds and warm, dimmable lighting. Opt for a few good pieces of furniture instead of many trend items. A handcrafted ceramic bowl on the dining table and a woven rug are often enough to create coziness. When renovating: first check which historical elements can be preserved — stone, beams, old doors — they immediately add character. And one more tip: invest in functional kitchens and bathrooms; they are what make everyday life pleasant. Small local craftsmen often deliver surprisingly good results and remain available afterwards.
