Interior by Diana
Interior Design + Project Management
Renovating or constructing a new home is an exciting and often challenging journey, in which the design is part of a larger picture. Good communication and planning lie at the heart of a successful project; there are many details to consider, real-time decisions to make, and my job is to carefully align them with the desired outcome. The magic and beauty lie in reflecting the geographical environment, the architectural context, and the person inhabiting them into harmonious expression; creating a unique design identity, celebrating intimate daily life.
Offering comprehensive interior design services, I work on both new constructions and existing properties in need of renovation. My approach combines creativity with experience and in-depth planning, to ensure the space functions as beautifully as it looks. From the initial layout to the final touches, the plan is tailored down to the finest details - infrastructure, material curation, lighting, appliances, textiles, artwork, and even meaningful heirlooms - all thoughtfully woven into harmonious composition. I manage the sourcing, purchasing and communication with the various suppliers and contractors, coordinating the renovation project hands-on with care and precision. In addition, I provide real-estate consulting to help assess and diagnose a property’s potential.
From design to delivery
Designing a house or apartment is a complex task, with many interconnected details. A proper workflow and effective project management ensure that:
-
We thoroughly assess your needs and aspirations through an in-depth discussion and express them in the final outcome.
-
We go through a process of exploring alternative space plans until we settle on the optimal design — after experimentation, the plan may pleasantly surprise you and differ from your initial expectations.
-
We adapt the infrastructure (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, sound systems, etc.) to the overall plan and ensure all systems are synchronized.
-
We develop a unique design language, select finishing materials, and place orders by precise quantities.
-
We incorporate all the details and information into clear plans, based on which contractor bids are obtained.
-
We select the professionals we will work with and ensure the plans are well understood ahead of implementation.
-
The various suppliers and professionals involved are coordinated.
-
The construction is regularly overseen through site visits. When questions arise or issues come up during the work, I am your professional contact and will provide the necessary support—so you won’t have to deal with it yourselves.

Q+A
-
How long does it usually take?It depends on the project, usually between 4 months and a year. In TAMA projects, the timeline isn’t always under our control, but in standard renovations, it usually is.
-
Are you involved during the construction/renovation phase?Absolutely. I believe the designer’s involvement during the construction phase is essential to ensure the plans are fully and successfully implemented. I regularly monitor progress through on-site supervision, and when questions arise or unexpected issues come up that require attention, updates, or action during the process - I’m there to provide the necessary support, so you won’t have to handle it yourselves.
-
Who is the go-to person for questions or unexpected issues during the project?I am! I’m here to make sure you don’t get stressful calls from the site about things you’re not equipped to handle.
-
Can you refer us to trusted professionals?Absolutely. I maintain regular relationships with top-level colleagues—professionals I’ve completed many successful projects with and fully trust. It’s important to me to work only with experts who will provide my clients with a positive experience and the highest quality service.
