A passion for colour, light and the art of feeling at home.
The story behind a personal interior studio.

The story behind the studio
Studio Fota was founded by Maria Panagouli, inspired by a lifelong fascination with interiors, colour and light. What began as a personal passion grew into something she loved sharing with others. She helped friends and family with the same care and attention to detail she brought to her own home. After many years working in the corporate world, Maria decided to make room for that passion.
From a house to a home
When Maria moved from Greece to the Netherlands, she discovered just how important it is to make a new place feel familiar. A home takes shape through personal choices, memories and the atmosphere you create around you.
The meaning of Fota
Fota comes from the Greek word φώτα, meaning “lights”. It reflects the way light transforms a space and the warmth and balance Studio Fota seeks to bring to every interior.
Designed around you
No two homes or people are alike. That is why thoughtful interior advice starts with listening. Studio Fota brings together beauty, comfort and personality to create spaces that truly feel like home.
