about

Marina Hirst Interiors is a multi-award-winning interior design company based in Brisbane, led by Principal, Marina Hirst. MHI services both residential and corporate clients across South East Queensland to deliver award-winning designs that speak to the heart of each client.

marina’s philosophy

At MHI, I create spaces with heart and soul that are the essence of who you are and where you have come from. My designs are vibrant and energising, reflecting who you want to be, empowered to flirt with a little creativity.

Honouring your family’s heritage and traditions, we focus on re-using, reviving and updating existing pieces to reflect who you are. This empowering design experience allows me to amplify and explore creative opportunities for you, and to exceed your expectations.

The end result is a truly bespoke combination that feels like you: grounded, yet adventurous; functional, yet beautiful; comfortable, yet award-winning in style.

The autobiography of your life must be told with integrity and a little quirkiness like mine, which reflects my heritage of being born African of Germanic traditions and origin and where I now find myself embracing a new culture with it’s own story to tell.

How exciting! How real! How humbling! 

design approach

The design services I offer focus on the importance of who you are and how we can work in what you already have to maintain the ‘story’ of you. After a thorough and considered brief taken in person, I set to work conceptualising the potential for designed spaces that are aligned with your vision.

By custom-designing through exclusive wholesalers and suppliers, and by incorporating existing pieces with some creative flair, we ensure the synergy created between old and new reflects an atmosphere in which you love to live in.

“Marina won't let you down. Her interior design is incredible. There were a few times when we thought, 'How is that colour scheme going to work?' until we saw it come together. Yes, she knows what she's doing! We're extremely pleased with the increased functionality and modernisation of our house and you'll be pleased with her approach and genuine interest that she will show towards you. Thank you, Marina!”

“Marina has incredible skill at really understanding each client’s own personal style, while at the same time encouraging people to push the boundaries of their own thinking. After quickly realising that Marina fully respected and understood our style, we bravely and confidently let Marina’s true artistic talent shine, and we are so glad we did.”
