Inside Marlene Zeiner Borthen’s home

In Vollen, Asker, we step into the home of interior designer Marlene. A calm and welcoming space shared with her husband and their son where soft tones, thoughtful details and timeless interior create a harmonious space. Surrounded by nature and close to the sea, the home feels personal and warm without feeling overstyled. 

Naturally Effortless Interiors

Marlene works as an interior designer with a strong focus on materiality and composition. Her styling reflects an appreciation for spaces that feel curated and timeless, where textures and natural materials come together in an effortless way.

“When styling spaces, I pay attention to how proportions and objects interact. For me, it is about creating a thoughtful and personal atmosphere, where every element feels intentional and connected to the overall expression.”

Living with Mateus

Over the years, she has built her own collection of Mateus pieces. The Flower collection has become a natural part of her table settings, adding softness and character. 

“I started collecting Mateus a few years ago, and I love how timeless and authentic it feels, especially the Flower collection.”

Make it feel personal

In Marlene’s home, styling is not only about aesthetics, but about creating spaces that feel lived in and personal. From everyday routines to special moments, Mateus becomes a part of the moments shared around the table.
