Hi! I am Leyla Yahya, a founder of LY Design studio based in London. I provide services both in English and Russian.
I take a personalised approach to interior design, believing that truly successful spaces are born from a deep understanding of my clients—their lifestyle, values, and individuality. By working closely with you and carefully considering your brief, budget, and timeline, I help create interiors that feel both personal and timeless.
With over 15 years of experience, I’ve worked on a wide range of residential projects—from single-room transformations to full house refurbishments, extensions, loft conversions, and large-scale renovations. Each project is supported by a trusted team of skilled specialists, ensuring a smooth and professional process from start to finish.
I love designing both eclectic and modern interiors—styles that allow me to create spaces with an enchanting aesthetic that not only reflect your personality but also enrich your lifestyle and nurture your wellbeing.
My design journey began with the renovation of my own country home, which inspired me to pursue formal training at the International Online Design School. I later graduated from the British Academy of Interior Design in London, where I honed my creative and technical skills.
Before becoming a designer, I earned a Master’s degree in Oriental History and Literature. This academic background provided me with a wide cultural lens and a deep appreciation for historical and artistic influences, which continue to inspire and shape my work.
I remain passionate about staying at the forefront of the interior design field—regularly attending exhibitions, lectures, and gallery events, and keeping close relationships with suppliers and manufacturers to explore new materials, textures, and innovations. My commitment to ongoing learning ensures that every project is not only beautiful, but also thoughtfully designed for modern living.
