MISTURA INTERIOR DESIGN, INC.
Mistura Interior Design, Inc. is a full service interior design firm that was formed in January 2009 by Melinda Cabanilla, an interior designer with over five years of professional experience. After graduating from the Boston Architectural College with a Masters of Interior Architecture, Melinda has collaborated alongside several Northeastern architectural and interior design firms.

Mistura Interior Design’s inspiration comes from a mixture of Melinda’s international heritage. Raised by an Ecuadorian father and a Norwegian mother, her design expression can only be described in one word, mistura (Portuguese for “blend”). Known for her visionary blending of unique materials, innovative technology, vintage-modern pieces and refreshing light and color, Mistura Interior Design, Inc. provides high-design environments that reference an eclectic range of design trends and history.

Inspired by the subtle metamorphosis of how interior environments interact with and affect the emotions and actions of people within a space, Mistura Interior Design, Inc. understands the psychological theories that can be applied to interior environments to achieve a more sophisticated level of interaction and usability. The application of these theories in her work is through the understanding of the Seven Mood-Inducing Stimuli—a set of psycho-physiological responses designed for client-control via use of lighting/color, video, words/language, smell, touch/texture, and music/sound. Mistura Interior Design, Inc. uses the neurological set of rules in all of her work, creating new user experiences and encouraging unique interactions.

If you are a real estate agent and need marketing materials to help sell, let Mistura assist you in brochures, postcards and more.

• COLOR CONSULTATION:
Color is one of the mood inducing stimuli; it can play a big role on how people feel in your space: warm, inviting, hungry or uncomfortable.

Each space dictates what it needs to soar above the rest (for example, separation in a loft space, your budget can dictate the need for new furniture, when in fact custom designed pieces can come out much less expensive.

This process can seem daunting, but Melinda’s extensive knowledge in furniture will help to guide you - through research, selection, specifying, purchasing and coordinating installation.

Big or small, let Mistura help design and renovate your home, hotel or restaurant on your budget.

• 3D RENDERINGS:
Sometimes the concept of a space is hardest to start with. Let Mistura Interior Design assist you in concept to get your ideas flowing with sketches and 3D renderings. While plans, sections, elevations may be ok for some, but many find it difficult to visualize their space through these tools and that is ok! 3D renderings create another way of imagining your project and give it life, creating a better source of communication between client and designer, ensuring complete happiness with the end result.
