How I Work With You
Every service OKYA offers begins with the same question: not what do you want it to look like, but how do you want to live? From that answer, everything else follows.
What I do
Every project begins with a conversation. If what you have in mind does not fit neatly into one of the services below, that is not a problem. Some of the most interesting work starts exactly there. Get in touch and we will find the right way to work together.

Full renovation & spatial redesign
For clients who are ready to change how a property feels from the ground up.
I work across layout, structure, materials and styling. Unlocking what a home is truly capable of, restoring what time has obscured, and creating something that feels entirely new.
Every contractor is briefed and managed by me. Every decision is prepared for you, at the point it needs to be made and not before. You are not project managing your own renovation. I am.
This is where OKYA feels most at home, and where the results speak most clearly.

Kitchen, bathroom, loft and home extension design
An extension or renovation of a single significant space is one of the most consequential design decisions a homeowner makes. Get it right and it changes how the whole house feels. Get it wrong and the space will remind you of it every single day.
I work with clients on kitchens, bathrooms, lofts and extensions as standalone commissions. Bringing the same spatial rigour, material knowledge and project oversight I apply to a complete transformation, scaled to the scope of the project. Layout, specification, procurement and contractor coordination all included.
If you have been thinking about a project like this for a while, a conversation costs nothing and usually brings clarity faster than you expect.

Design-integrated organisation
The most beautiful room still fails if it does not work. And most rooms stop working within months of completion. Wardrobes overflow, kitchens fight back, storage systems that looked elegant on the day quietly collapse under real life.
I believe organisation is not something you impose on a finished interior. It is something you design into it from the beginning.
Every OKYA project is considered from the inside out: how you move through each space, where things belong, how the home supports daily life rather than resisting it. For clients who want to go further, I offer a dedicated layer of spatial organisation alongside the design. Storage architecture, wardrobe systems, kitchen logic, children's spaces. So that the home continues to work long after the project is complete.
This is not decluttering. It is intentional design.

Many of my clients have more than one home. A family house in Surrey. A flat in London. A property abroad that has never quite received the attention it deserves.
I can also work internationally. Travelling to the project, sourcing locally where it adds something the brief calls for, and managing the process remotely where it does not. My background spans London, Europe and beyond, and I have spent eighteen years building the contacts, the supplier relationships and the cross-cultural fluency to deliver something exceptional regardless of where the property sits.
If you have a home abroad that you want to feel as considered as your life in the UK, I would love to hear about it.

New property — complete service
You have found the right property. Now comes everything else.
For clients who want to move from acquisition to a finished, beautifully functioning home, without managing the process themselves, I offer a complete new property service. Structural assessment. Spatial planning. Material and furniture specification. Procurement, installation and final styling. Every decision handled with care. Every detail confirmed with you before anything moves forward.
You are involved at the moments that matter. Everything else, I take care of.
-
Relocation & new beginnings
Moving is one of the rare moments when everything about a home is open to reconsideration.
I work with clients at this transition point: understanding what the new property makes possible, what you want to carry forward from how you lived before, and what you have always wanted but never quite had. Whether the move is a few miles or a few thousand, I can be involved from the moment the keys arrive.
-
Procurement & project oversight
For clients who want the outcome without the process.
I source, specify, negotiate, order and oversee delivery of every piece in the project. Furniture, lighting, materials, accessories. Supplier relationships managed. Lead times tracked. Nothing chased by you. A single fee, agreed in advance, with complete transparency on cost throughout.
You choose. I handle everything that comes next.

One space, redesigned completely. Ideal for a room that has never quite worked, or one that simply deserves more considered attention than it has received.
