Marianne Tiegen Welcomes Spring with Outdoor Spaces Designed for Living

Unlike many interior designers, Marianne Tiegen's journey into interiors began outdoors. Her background is rooted first in floristry, and then in gardens, an origin that continues to shape her design philosophy today.

Her interior design career began at Petersham Nurseries in London, where she worked as a buyer for garden and outdoor furniture. Gradually, her focus expanded to include interior furnishings and home decor, with a particular emphasis on antiques. While she was initially designing gardens and outdoor spaces for clients visiting the nursery, those same clients soon began asking her to design their homes as well.

She continued working as a buyer for major groups, specializing in antiques and outdoor furniture, before eventually launching her own interior design practice. As her London clients increasingly commissioned projects across the globe, her practice naturally expanded beyond the city, leading her to establish studios in Paris, Verbier, and Los Angeles. From the very beginning, one principle guided her work: the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
