I’m always influenced by the architecture, setting, and history of a space, whether it’s a countryside manor or a contemporary townhouse. Ultimately, it’s the clients themselves who inspire us the most, translating their lifestyle and aspirations into something tangible and beautifully personal.”What makes your approach to design different?“At KAGU Interiors, our approach is highly collaborative and client-led. We take time to truly understand how our clients want to live in their homes, and we build every design around that.

We also pride ourselves on our ability to blend form and function, ensuring every space is as practical as it is beautiful.”In your opinion, what makes a design timeless?“To us, a timeless design is one that feels effortlessly balanced, never shouting for attention, but always leaving a lasting impression. It’s rooted in quality craftsmanship, natural materials, and classic principles of scale and proportion. Timeless interiors aren’t dictated by fleeting trends but are built on authenticity, comfort, and a sense of place. To us, it’s about creating spaces that evolve beautifully with time and continue to resonate with the people who live in them, year after year.”
