MLIMA Interiors, founded in 2021 in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, East Africa, is driven by a deep passion for creating spaces for making meaningful memories. By using fresh, whimsical, colorful fabrics, prints, objects, and modern crafted furniture designs, we unfold stories into visual space.
We believe that honoring the history, location and embracing imperfect elements can create a unique site-specific design with soul and heart. Create a conversation with guests with a dashing modern vibe and harmoniously share our cultural experiences.
Most of the furniture from MLIMA are handcrafted in Tanzania with locally sourced materials. Through the convergence of organic materials, traditional craft, and technology, each piece is a result of a deep exploration of the artisan’s work. Each piece harmoniously unites nature and craftsmanship. The artisan weaves the ideas into a composition that is truly one of a kind.
Real personal style never goes out of date. Let the space tell your story.

“Working with Quentin was a fantastic experience! She provided sample designs and fabrics so she could determine our style and color preferences. She has an eye for color and patterns and pairs things that I would never think of—-and the results are amazing. When our furniture was ready, she staged it so perfectly it looked like something out of a fashion magazine. As a foreign service family, Her pieces personalize and add much needed color and style to our home.”

I recommend Quentin and MLIMA interiors wholeheartedly. It is difficult to tell you what a difference she made for our family - she completely transformed our entire house. We went from a disorganized cluttered mess that felt impossible to work with to a serene oasis where we can relax at the end of a long day. Her team provided high quality, beautiful pieces that we will treasure for a long time. Our children love their rooms and we appreciate how easy it is to keep everything organized now. We look forward to making memories in our beautifully designed space, thanks to Quentin’s expertise!

Quentin patiently listened to the goals of the US Embassy American Club in Dar es Salaam then worked with our team through the entire process to create a vision that conveys an escape from the busy office into a relaxing spa like environment. She carefully selected , details, colors and textures that finally gave our facility the character it truly was missing. We could not be happier with the customer service, attention to detail during the process and results! It takes a true talent to design a spatial concept that is both practical and stunning.
