Refined European Influence Thoughtful Modern Living

Italian Heritage Global Perspective

Barbara Berlanda Stevens, founder and principal designer of BTheSpace Interiors, brings an international perspective shaped by her Italian heritage, extensive travel, and years immersed in diverse architectural environments.

Born in Italy, she developed an early appreciation for proportion, craftsmanship, materiality, and timeless design. That foundation continues to influence her work today through a refined aesthetic approach rooted in balance, architectural thinking, and understated luxury.

Her perspective blends European sensibility with practical livability, creating interiors that feel curated, sophisticated, and deeply personal.

RENOVATION & CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE

Architectural Thinking Grounded in Real-World Execution

Barbara’s expertise is further shaped by years of hands-on renovation experience, personally overseeing the transformation of residential properties across Europe and the United States.

Her approach is deeply architectural in nature, focusing first on spatial flow, proportion, structure, and materiality before layering furnishings and decorative elements.

With direct involvement across all phases of renovation, from structural planning to final finishes, she brings a strong understanding of how spaces function both technically and aesthetically. Her work is guided not only by beauty, but by long-term functionality, thoughtful investment, and enduring design.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT & STRATEGIC THINKING

Creative Vision Supported by Structure and Strategy

With more than 20 years of international project management experience, Barbara approaches each project with clarity, organization, and careful coordination.

Her experience leading complex initiatives and cross-functional teams translates naturally into the design process, allowing projects to move forward with efficiency, communication, and attention to detail.

As a multilingual professional with a background in both marketing and interior design, she brings a strategic perspective to every engagement, balancing aesthetics with lifestyle, usability, and long-term value.

EDUCATION & PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

Design Expertise Shaped by International Experience

Barbara holds a Master’s Degree in Interior Design earned in Italy and a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing completed in London, combining European design sensibility with strategic business and marketing expertise.

Shaped by both formal education and years of hands-on renovation experience, her approach balances creativity with practicality, creating spaces that are not only visually refined, but deeply personal, functional, and thoughtfully connected to the way her clients live.
