About Ana Cristina Machado — The Experience Behind Decor With
Behind Decor With is Ana Cristina Machado, an interior designer with more than 40 years of experience creating homes, styling interiors, and designing spaces where beauty and everyday living naturally come together.
Throughout her career, Ana has worked across residential design, furniture retail, tableware, and home textiles, developing a practical understanding of how thoughtful interiors improve the way people live.
She owned and managed a furniture and tableware store in São Paulo, Brazil, specializing in timeless furniture, carefully selected tableware, and decorative pieces chosen for both beauty and everyday use.
Later, she spent 17 years running a successful baby retail business in Araçatuba, São Paulo, where functionality, comfort, and family living became central to her understanding of how homes truly work.
Alongside her retail experience, Ana also designed and produced her own table linens, including placemats, tablecloths, and napkins, giving her a hands-on understanding of materials, craftsmanship, proportions, textures, and table composition.
These experiences shaped an editorial perspective grounded in timeless design rather than short-lived trends.
Decor With was created as an independent editorial publication dedicated to interiors, table settings, and everyday living. Every article combines practical experience with thoughtful design principles, helping readers create homes that feel calm, functional, elegant, and naturally welcoming.
Rather than chasing trends, Decor With focuses on interiors that remain beautiful for years, guided by proportion, balance, quality materials, and intentional styling.
