Many homes in Highgate feature generous proportions, original fireplaces, decorative cornicing and beautiful period detailing that deserve to be celebrated rather than replaced. Our approach is to preserve these defining architectural features while introducing contemporary layouts and interiors that better support modern lifestyles.

Leyla’s designs were thoughtful, creative, and demonstrated an exceptional attention to detail. This was our first experience with both an interior designer and construction work, and Leyla was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the entire process.

Review from Mark U.
"I worked with Leyla on the design of our house in Hampstead.
The brief was to create a home that was both eclectic and modern, leveraging the charm of a Jacobean castle and making best use of the space available. The project was the complete interior design of the inside , outside and building modern extension.
From the first meeting Leyla was engaged with helping me formulate and articulate my vision. As the project progressed, she was a wonderful sounding board on furniture choices, space efficiency and when to spend on items that in the end made a positive difference to the overall project.
She has an excellent network of tradesmen and suppliers to support the delivery of the design in the agreed timelines. We delivered the project in the time agreed, and I couldn’t be happier with the end product.
Most importantly the journey was as enjoyable as the result. Thank you for helping make my house a home!"

Review from Bakhyt W.
"We reached out to Leyla when renovating our new home, aiming to create a cosy, beautiful, and functional space. She supported us every step of the way—from layout changes and color choices to bespoke joinery.
We especially love the color palette she suggested, with subtle accent features across different rooms. Leyla completely reworked the en-suite layout, making it not only beautiful but also spacious and practical.
She also helped us make the most of our living and dining areas, creating a connected, inviting layout that works perfectly for everyday life.
We truly enjoyed working with Leyla and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful designer!"
