I struggled with the exact same things you do...

My name is Marc Müskens. I'm an interior designer, just like you.

I started my studio in 2008. Obsessed with the craft. Always on. Long days. Late nights.
Always pushing for the best result.

But the better my designs became, the clearer something started to reveal itself.

I was struggling with the same things as many interior designers.

Attracting the right clients.
Setting my fees.
Projects that kept changing direction.
Starting over when I thought I was done.
Working too much in my studio and not enough on my studio.


Until I understood something important: creative talent alone is not enough.


You need structure.
A clear positioning.
Solid processes.
And a studio as intentional as your designs.

That changed everything.

Interior designer leading natural client intake conversation in premium design studio

Today I run Masters of Interior Design together with my partner Sven van Buuren. I also coach interior designers through Beyond Interior Design, and I'm co-founder of an international community of over 250,000 interior design professionals.

Everything I teach you in SILK, I use myself every day in my own studio. It's been tested in practice, refined through hundreds of projects and applied by interior designers all over the world.

Because I'm still active in the industry myself, I understand the challenges and opportunities you face every day. Especially if you've worked with coaches before who don't know the profession. This is different.

"You don't have to make the mistakes I made along the way. There's no need for that."

That's why I don't believe interior designers have a talent problem.

I believe most interior designers have never been taught how to build a studio as intentional, and with the same purpose, as their interiors.

And that is exactly what SILK is about.

Because if you're good enough to create beautiful interiors, why does running a business sometimes still feel so hard?

Why does one single inquiry cost you a full working day, when you don't even know yet if it's the right client?

Why do you doubt your fee when you know exactly how much impact your work makes?

It's almost never about your talent.

It's about the foundation beneath your studio.

What is SILK?

SILK is my signature program

A 20-week journey in which you build a strong, stable foundation beneath your interior design studio.

Every week you work on one practical strategy. A strategy that helps you attract the right clients and projects, strengthen your positioning and create more clarity and calm in your studio.

That takes you an average of about one hour per week.

Follow SILK in 20 weeks the way I've built it, or go at your own pace. All modules are immediately available, so you can accelerate when you have momentum and slow down when your schedule calls for it.

After SILK you have this:  

  • More inquiries from clients who are truly a match
  • More confidence in your fees and proposals
  • Fewer loose ends and more structure in your studio
  • A clear positioning so clients quickly understand why they should choose you
  • A complete intake process that saves you time and raises your value from the very first contact
  • More headspace and more time for what you love most: designing
Beyond Interior Design Live Experience

Who is SILK for?

This is for you if…

✓ You have your own studio or are just starting out, and you're working harder than you want for less than you're worth
✓ You want to attract more clients, but above all the right ones
✓ You want to take your first steps toward premium clients
✓ You're ready to work on your studio instead of just in it


This is not for you if…
✖ You're looking for a ready-made trick without doing the work yourself
✖ You'd rather keep hoping for the next inquiry, because hope is not a strategy
✖ You're not willing to sometimes say no to the wrong client

Module 1 · PARTICIPATION

More YES responses to your proposals, in far less time

After this module:

  • Fewer non-committal conversations
  • More confidence during intake meetings
  • Clients who recognize your value faster


"Many interior designers start designing right away without truly understanding what their client needs."


In this module you learn how to actively involve someone in the process from the very first contact. With the intake approach I use daily in my own studio, you'll discover early on whether a client is truly a match. That way you build the foundation for more trust, a smoother journey and a client who chooses you with full conviction.

Module 2 · PURPOSE

Add the meaning that sets your designs apart


After this module:

  • You know who your ideal client is and how to attract them
  • You communicate from meaning and value, not from loose services
  • Clients understand why they specifically choose you


"You are the designer of your own life." 

In this module you design your business around your life, instead of the other way around. You define your ideal client and discover what you truly solve for people.

Because it's not about moving beautiful things into a home.

It's about what your client's life looks like after you've been there.

Module 3 · PRINCIPLES

Translate your unique vision into your most beautiful projects

After this module:

  • You can always substantiate your design choices
  • Clients understand more quickly why your approach works
  • You differentiate yourself without competing on price


"For many clients, interior design feels abstract. They see the end result, but not always the thinking behind it."

In this module you develop your own design principles: the rules that give direction to your work. This allows you to explain your choices clearly, build more trust and make it immediately clear to clients what sets you apart from other interior designers.

Module 4 · PROCESS

Create calm with a smooth, clear way of working

After this module:

  • A complete client journey from first contact to delivery
  • No more loose emails you retype every single time
  • You lead the process, not your client


"You already have a process. It's just probably still in your head".

In this module we take it out and map your complete client journey, from first contact to delivery. So clients know exactly what to expect, and you have more time, energy and focus for what you're truly good at: designing.

Module 5 · POTENTIAL

Stop charging by the hour. Start charging what you're truly worth.

After this module:

  • You know your value and ask for it with confidence
  • Your services are structured as a clear package, no more hourly billing
  • You get the project agreed at the table without it feeling like selling


"Clients don't pay you for your hours. They pay for the result and the transformation you make possible."


In this final module you learn to recognize, communicate and translate your value into an attractive offer.

Selling is not a trick.
Selling is helping someone make the right decision.

Picture this…

A new inquiry comes in.

You immediately know whether this client is a match.

Your intake is ready. You send the questionnaire. The conversation flows smoothly, warmly and with structure.

Your proposal feels logical. Your fee too. You don't have to defend it.

Your process runs. No loose ends, no wondering whether you forgot something.


And finally you have headspace again to do what you once chose this for:


Designing the most beautiful interiors.

"I've truly grown as an entrepreneur and as a person"

"After SILK I look at value instead of hours. I have structure in my business and I'm prepared for questions, which makes me more and more confident step by step.


I've truly grown as an entrepreneur and as a person. I know much better what I want, who my ideal client is and where to focus.


I look differently at the value I deliver and I dare to set my prices higher. I work from my own vision and can stand behind it with full conviction.


What appeals to me in the Beyond Interior Design vision is that you look beyond just designing. You look at the layer behind it, so you grow not only in your business but also as a person. You discover what truly matters to you. In my case that includes my family, giving me more time and more freedom in my schedule.


Marc is a wonderfully pleasant person. His energy and the way he holds up a mirror are incredibly valuable. By sharing his own experiences you gain insight into what's possible and how you can do things differently.


I now dare to confidently charge double for my advice. I have structure in my week and I'm

attracting more and more the clients I love working with.


Especially when you think you're too busy for a program like this, I would recommend it.
Step by step you create more breathing room, more structure and more space in your life."

"Projects run so much more smoothly now."

"I kept taking notes because everything Marc said matched my design vision so precisely. After lots of notes I actively started rewriting my intake form, website copy, introductory brochure and more.

From January I applied my newly developed vision and projects run so much more smoothly. No more difficult persuasion conversations, no clients endlessly adding new wishes.

Thank you for this great training!"

"Time for what I love most!"

"Everything in my business runs so much more controlled now. I've saved a huge amount of time in my processes, which means my time and energy go to what I love most: designing healthy and sustainable offices."

"It's so much easier now!"

"I found it incredibly insightful how much preparation goes into a client upfront — with the pre-survey and the call script — to make sure it really goes so much more smoothly every single time.

Extremely valuable Marc, thank you so much!"

Marnix van Tellingen

"It's no longer just a business.  It's become MY business."

"If I hadn't followed the SILK program and hadn't had Marc's knowledge and expertise available, I would still be reinventing the wheel. I would still just be doing things without a clear goal or clear thinking behind them.

Through SILK I've been able to give my business so much more structure. I built a process I'm truly proud of. I can now tell the story behind my business with crystal clarity. It's no longer just a business — it's become MY business.

Especially if you're just starting your interior design business, SILK is invaluable.
Yes, it's an investment, but it has been worth every penny.

Thank you Marc, for all your wise lessons and insights!"

"They said YES straight away!"

"I landed a new project straight away. My ideal client. No complicated pitch. No convincing or pushing. I just shared who I am, where I come from and how I work. That was enough. They trusted me.

They said yes to my process, my vision and even an investment that was outside my comfort zone. For me this wasn't just about the project. It was proof that people feel it when you stay close to your own story. That is what the Beyond layer did for me.
It helped me show up as I am. And that made all the difference."

Ruth Kemeling

"I'm quite a perfectionist"

"This program truly challenged me to finish something I had started. I'm quite a perfectionist and especially when exploring core values, vision and working methods I can really get lost. I had a tendency to wait for momentum. That has changed significantly and I'm working much more from my why.
Often the week would pass in a vague rush.The program constantly reinforces embracing your own way of working. This has given me so much more rhythm in my day. Wonderful!

Especially articulating my design principles made so many things clear to me.

Marc is an engaged coach who clearly takes time for questions and knows how to ask the right ones."

Nathalie Jungerius

Studio Monville

"Marc radiates enthusiasm for his own profession"

"Marc radiates enthusiasm for his own profession and for all the creatives following his program. I could almost poetically describe his business in 3 words: Openness, Openmindedness and Authenticity.

If you want to go deeper in the interior design profession and need inspiration and golden tips on how to work with your clients — this is the place to be."
