Our Story

Our Story

This adventure began with Style So Simple, founded in 2018 while Aoife Tobin was living in Madrid. What started as one-person design-led studio quickly grew through word of mouth and a commitment to thoughtful, refined interiors.

Over time, the practice evolved both creatively and structurally, leading to its transition into Aoife Maria Interiors, a full-service interior architecture studio working across the island of Ireland and abroad. Today, the studio reflects Aoife’s matured vision: collaborative, detail-driven, and grounded in timeless design principles, with each project approached with the same passion that inspired its beginnings.
