Completed project · Ardaro, Riva del Garda · 2022
From floor plan to family home: Ardaro
An American family wanted to rethink their holiday home while living abroad. The original plan, furniture layout and photographs show how shared decisions became spaces for family stays.
Before: the existing plan. Design: layout and furniture.
The living room before and after completion
Space for the family
The agreed layout brings together three bedrooms, a separate kitchen, living and dining areas. The furniture plan explains room uses, furniture dimensions and circulation.
Decisions before purchases
Furniture positions, storage and lighting points were developed in the project drawings. The photographs show how light finishes, wood and dark accents come together in the completed room.
Bringing the attic into the home
A private stair connects the main bedroom to the previously unused attic, now a relaxation area. The full case study explains the process and the roles of the professionals involved.
For owners living abroad
Renovating in Italy without managing every decision from a distance
The hardest part is rarely choosing a beautiful tile. It is knowing who is responsible, whether the result will match the approved design and what is happening while you are outside Italy. We create a documented design process and remain the local point of contact for aesthetic decisions within the agreed scope.
Decisions you can make remotely
3D views, structured selections and written approvals help you understand the result and decide without repeated trips to Lake Garda.
A local design contact
We communicate in English, Italian, German and Russian and coordinate design information with the contractor, suppliers and the licensed professionals appointed to the project.
Visible details checked on site
Agreed visits compare finishes, colours, furniture and built-in elements with the approved concept, with clear updates when an aesthetic decision is needed.
Olga Design provides interior design and aesthetic implementation assistance. Building filings, technical design, statutory construction supervision, site safety, testing and certification remain with the qualified professionals appointed by the client.

Discuss your project →Interior Design and Living Space Planning on Lake Garda
Olga Design offers interior design on Lake Garda for private homes, holiday properties and hospitality spaces across Trentino, Veneto and Lombardy. Whether you are renovating an apartment in Riva del Garda, furnishing a villa in Arco, preparing a holiday home in Torbole or looking for an interior designer in Trento, the service may include space analysis, creative concept, layouts, materials and furniture selection, photorealistic 3D visualisation, and aesthetic assistance during implementation.
Interior Design for Apartments
Each project starts with a careful analysis of the space, natural light, orientation and the client's specific needs. Riva del Garda and Alto Garda have distinctive characteristics: the lake light, the proportions of historic buildings in the old town and the layouts of new residential developments. The concept is translated into moodboards, interior design documentation, finishes and furniture guidance, and visualisations that help assess the result before implementation.
For room-specific ideas, explore the detailed guides to living room design, bedroom design, small bathroom ideas and how to decorate a terrace, with solutions suited to the Lake Garda context.
Interior Design for Holiday Homes and Airbnb
For a home used by guests, consider circulation, storage, maintainable finishes and how clearly each room works. The Ardaro holiday home in Riva del Garda shows decisions shared with an American family, including from abroad. More planning considerations are in the Lake Garda Airbnb design guide.
For a complete overview of the renovation process, see the guide to turnkey renovation: costs, process and contracts.
How Much Does an Interior Designer Cost
The fee is tailored to the size of the space, project complexity, level of customisation and the support required, from design only to aesthetic assistance during implementation. After an initial meeting, we prepare a detailed and transparent proposal. For 2026 market pricing, including service-tier tables and a with-designer/without-designer comparison, read the guide to how much an interior designer costs.
Photorealistic 3D Renders
Olga Aleksandrova has over 10 years of personal design experience gained through previous activities and professional collaborations. The method balances aesthetics, function, budget and timing and uses professional tools: AutoCAD for interior design documentation and 3ds Max with V-Ray for photorealistic renders, helping clients assess the result before work begins. Communication is available in English, German, Italian and Russian.
Interior Design in Trento, Verona and Brescia
In addition to Lake Garda, services are available, depending on the project, in Trento, Rovereto, Verona and the Brescia province. Interior design in Trento may involve urban apartments in historic centre buildings, new developments in Mattarello and Romagnano, or hillside villas with panoramic views. In Verona, the context includes historic-centre properties and residential areas such as Borgo Trento and Borgo Venezia.
The service area includes Riva del Garda, Arco, Nago-Torbole, Limone sul Garda, Malcesine, Sirmione, Salò and Desenzano. You can request information about a project on Lake Garda, in Trento, Verona or elsewhere in Trentino-Alto Adige.
Beyond residential spaces, Olga Design also offers interior design for restaurants, hotels and commercial businesses. If you need initial guidance, discover the consultation and concept design service.
Reserved Technical Services
Technical services reserved by law, building filings, building-services engineering, certifications and statutory construction supervision are performed and signed exclusively by licensed professionals appointed for the project. Olga Design may collaborate with them only on interior design and aesthetic consistency.
Interior Design FAQ
The fee is calculated individually according to the size of the space, project complexity and the level of support required. After an initial meeting, we prepare a detailed and personalised quote.
The schedule depends on the rooms, design documents and approval stages. Once we have reviewed the starting information, we agree the phases and delivery dates. Construction timing is assessed separately with the professionals and contractors involved.
