What Clients
Say About Us

I'd been living with the same layout for six years and couldn't quite work out why the house didn't feel settled. The Design Dialogue was the first time someone actually listened — not just measured the rooms. The written brief she delivered afterwards was genuinely moving. It named things I hadn't articulated to myself. We went on to do the full Bespoke Design and the house now feels like it belongs to us properly.

We hired Yara for the implementation phase on a terrace house renovation. What struck me was that she actually turned up to site visits rather than just talking to the contractor by phone. She caught two significant deviations from the specification before they became expensive problems to fix. The coordination was quiet and professional — I barely needed to think about it, which is exactly what I needed during a busy stretch at work.

I'd worked with two other designers before Yara and both times the result looked fine but didn't feel like mine. The difference here was that she asked questions I hadn't been asked before — about how I cook, who visits, whether I prefer the sound of rain or quiet. The 3D renders were genuinely beautiful, but more importantly they were accurate. What I saw in the renders is what I got in the finished room, down to the light at 4pm.

We have a 1960s bungalow that my father-in-law left us. It had a lot of original features we wanted to keep — and a lot of 1980s additions we wanted to remove. Yara understood immediately that this wasn't a blank canvas project. She was very careful about what to preserve and what to update. The result is that the house feels like it has continuity, not a renovation imposed on it.

I started with just the Design Dialogue because I wasn't sure how much I wanted to commit. For MYR 450, I received a document that I kept returning to for weeks. It articulated exactly what was wrong with my living room and suggested a direction I hadn't considered. I eventually came back for the full Bespoke Design — the Dialogue fee was credited as promised. That follow-through mattered to me.

I was sceptical about hiring a designer for what I thought was a relatively simple home office and guest room project. The Design Dialogue changed my perspective. Yara identified a spatial issue I'd completely missed — the way the afternoon light made the workspace unusable for half the day. The solution was straightforward once she named it, but I'd lived with the problem for two years without seeing it clearly.
