St. Petersburg & Gulf Beaches Interior Designer

Mia Bella Designs brings calm, elevated interiors to St. Petersburg and the Gulf beaches, from Gulfport and St Pete Beach to Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, North Redington Beach, Indian Shores and Indian Rocks Beach. The studio is led by Michele Riley, an interior designer with more than 25 years of experience in interior design and space planning. Her work balances clean lines, natural materials and thoughtful detail, always grounded in the way each client wants to live.

Life near the Gulf shapes many design decisions, from the way sunlight fills a room to materials suited to sand, salt air and humidity. Michele's Coastal Retreat in Indian Shores, a beach style home from 2020, spans the living room, kitchen, dining room and bar, a primary suite with a freestanding tub and fireplace wall, and guest rooms. The aim is a home that feels relaxed and refined at once, and easy to live in every day.

Services include full interior design, kitchen and bath design, color consultation and vacation rental design, a natural fit for beach homes that welcome guests. Projects start with a design plan that lets you see each piece in your space, in proper scale, with access to to-the-trade furnishings you will not find online. Owners who spend part of the year away can work through E-Design, which delivers mood boards, floor plans, color schemes and curated shopping lists with direct purchase links, and sellers can call on Michele's certified home staging.
