My name is Leyla Yahya and I am an interior designer based in London. When it comes to interior design, I believe a personalised approach is absolutely essential. It is through understanding my clients, their values and their unique personalities that I can deliver an interior living space that reflects their individuality and lifestyle. By taking your brief, budget and timeframe into account, I'll help you to create an ideal interior living space that you'll want to relax in for years.
My design journey started seven years ago when renovation of my country house motivated me to complete a course in Interior Design at the International Online Design School. Following this, I completed several residential projects in Russia before moving to London to continue my studies at the British Academy of Interior Design.
Before my life as an interior design began, I completed a Master's Degree in Oriental History and Literature. During my studies, I learnt about many different cultures and time periods, from which I am able to draw much inspiration when creating my designs.
I also gain constant inspiration from traveling to a variety of beautiful locations, and whether they are cities rich in history, or rural areas surrounded by breathtaking nature, I find valuable aesthetic concepts in them all.
Design techniques are always moving forward, which is why I constantly develop my skills by visiting design exhibitions and galleries, attending lectures, networking with suppliers and manufactures, and familiarizing myself with new materials, surfaces, texture and fabrics.
