Antonio Martins Interior Design - San Francisco, California

Philip B.

I've been fortunate to have worked with Antonio Martins on two separate design projects (my home and office). Antonio brings a rare combination of attributes to his projects: creativity, energy, excellent taste, professionalism, and an ability to see the big picture. Although the high quality of Antonio's work speaks for itself, one of the best aspects of collaborating with him is something you cannot see in the photos: he makes the process enjoyable (and even fun) for his clients.

I am a difficult person to please, and I cannot say enough good things about my experiences with Antonio.

Antonio Martins is an amazingly talented and professional designer who creates warm, fresh, modern environments with soul and depth. He is also an extremely nice person with a great sense of humor. We met at the 2013 Decorator Showcase House in San Francisco, where Antonio designed the master bedroom. I saw his sketches beforehand and when I came back to see the finished room I was blown away by what he created.

With his ability to combine different elements of the past and present, Antonio is a true artist. He’s also an absolute pleasure to work with. It's been an honor to photograph his work.

Antonio Martins is a gifted, brilliant Interior Designer. His keen eye and attention to detail allows him to be remarkably creative, all the while tempering his design with thoughtful, deliberate choices. He has the gift of being able to communicate his ideas, and the practical knowledge and experience to execute them. He brings a love of beauty and passion to his work, while managing to keep things very real. He is an absolute delight to work with, as I discovered working with him on his 2014 San Francisco Decorator Showcase Master Bedroom. He has a lovely sense of humor, always an asset, and a generous spirit.

My aunt has worked with Antonio and his team in the past and recommended their services when we decided to renovate our house. We had a great experience and I could not be happier with the incredible work Antonio did.

It was my first experience working with a designer and I was a bit skeptical of the process. I was not sure what to expect, the charges, the steps. Antonio came in and was incredibly patient and informative

The results were incredible and he created what I now call home. They changed the color scheme of all rooms, window treatments and furniture layout for all spaces. Once approved, they helped us purchase all the furniture creating a mix of custom-made and off-the shelve pieces.

His team is flawless and antonio knows how to allocate the work to each one of them, making the best use of our budget. They have great taste and professional knowledge . you will be lucky to work with such a great person and professional.

We have been working with Antonio (Martins Interior Design) in more than one project and he has been a great help. We have two restaurants in Lisbon (Portugal) and we contacted him to do the interior design of both. The first project was done between December 2012 and March 2013 and the other one was done between July and November of 2014. We told him briefly what we where thinking and he presented us two beautiful projects. Antonio had the ability of listening to what we thought and transform it in a perfect project, way beyond what we were thinking. We were really impressed by his creativity, good taste and wonderful ideas that turned our two restaurants in two of the most well succeeded restaurants in Lisbon. We're sure we'll be hiring him again, if we ever plan to open a new restaurant/project as we know that it will be a huge success thanks to it's well done work. Thanks Antonio and all your team. You are the best!

Antonio Martins Interior Design firm is the very best! Antonio is a brilliant designer who thinks out the box and invents beautiful rooms. Linda Horning and I had the privilege of painting for him in his 2014 SF Decorator Showcase room. It was an all round top experience. Antonio handled managing this massive project with care and was there with every step taking care. He is a designer that is brilliant, tasteful, and also has conscientious business acumen...rare! He is a delight in his personhood - an elegant man!

My house in the Napa Valley was designed and decorated in 1980. It was time to bring the interiors up-to-date. In searching for a designer, I wanted to find someone who did not have a "cookie cutter" style, and who appreciated antiques.
Mr Martins was an obvious choice. One has only to review his website to see a broad range of work and styles: a ski house at Lake Tahoe, a sophisticated city apartment in Lisbon, a contemporary residence in San Francisco. His international background and versatility made it clear to me that he would understand my house and taste.
It is important to note that in addition to design talent, Mr Martins is always very professional, always timely, and always certainly fun to work with. He leaves his ego at the door and is firstly interested in creating an environment that pleases you.
The project was a great success!

I have known Antonio for close to 40 years and can only attest to his incredible talent, fascinating personality and irreproachable professional and moral standards.

His designs are diverse and his team is able to create a multitude of interiors, from traditional to contemporary. His recent Tahoe Project is a new standard to what eclectic mountain interiors should be.

I am a fan and wish him and his team all the success and luck !
