About Maison Sanou

"Where thoughtful design meets global inspiration."

"Curated pieces that turn houses into statements"

Our Story

Maison Sanou was created from a deep love for beautiful spaces and thoughtful design.

Founder Mariam, affectionately known as Poupe to family and friends, discovered her passion for interior decor while renovating and furnishing her Airbnb properties. Guests consistently complimented the design and atmosphere of the homes, often asking where the decor pieces came from.

Some of the spaces became so visually appealing that they were used for photoshoots and even hosted podcast recordings. Through these experiences, Mariam realized that carefully chosen pieces can transform a home and create an unforgettable experience.

About Mariam

Personally curated by Poupe

Each piece in the Maison Sanou collection is personally curated by Mariam. Known for her eye for bold, elegant interiors, she has long been sought after by family, friends, and fellow Airbnb hosts to design and elevate their spaces.

Inspired by her roots as a Malian woman raised in Harlem, Maison Sanou reflects a blend of culture, warmth, and modern luxury. Every item is selected to become a conversation piece, bringing depth, character, and intention into your home.


These are not ordinary decor pieces. They are statements, curated with purpose and defined by Poupe’s distinct point of view.
