Justine Bartolo, the owner and founder of Lillie Helena Design House is, this week, celebrating seeing her company recognised by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards for 2021 as the Best Luxury Interior Design Studio in Malta.

Taking to social media on Tuesday, Ms Bartolo said she was “so proud” to be able to announce the win and thanked her colleagues and supporters, saying the company will continue striving to keep making clients happy and designing spaces that excite.

Recognising her firm's success, the Luxury Lifestyle Awards said: “The objective of these awards is to recognise excellence across the whole range of industry sectors and maintain the highest standards in the property industry worldwide”.

The endorsement, the awarding company said, came “after a thorough research process”, which acknowledged Lillie Helena's “impeccable reputation and professional performance”.

The award is only the latest to be scooped by the interior design house, which also recently picked up two awards from the European Property Awards, Best Interior Design Website in Malta, and the Residential Interior Apartment Malta, for its Seafront Sliema Penthouse.

Lillie Helena Design House, which takes the middle names of its founder, was founded in 2016, with the aim of bringing a unique and individual interior design service to the local market.

To do so, Ms Bartolo brings to bear her experience and education, having received her academic training at the British College of Interior Design then the National Design Academy in the UK.
