Studio Kaimi

Studio Kaimi Studio Kaimi believes that the key to designing beautiful and sustainable spaces is listening to each client’s aspirations, goals and needs.

We combines this understanding with careful consideration of the building and its environment and forms a story.

A home doesn't need to be finished all at once.

The most personal interiors often evolve over time — as favourite objects are collected, memories are made, and new pieces gradually find their place.

In this Victorian home, many of the objects already belonged to the client. Instead of starting from scratch, we worked with what was already there, introducing new colours, furniture and materials around the pieces they loved.

I see the designer's role as editing the story of a space — finding a place for the things that matter, while carefully introducing what is new.

Because the best homes aren't frozen at the moment they're finished. They continue to evolve with the people who live in them.

Colour was used throughout the house to create a sense of continuity, without making every room feel the same.

In the bedroom, deep plum walls provide a rich backdrop to the olive green velvet headboard, while the staircase introduces a softer blush tone, grounded by the dark-painted balustrade.

This approach lets the palette shift from room to room, while maintaining a shared sense of warmth and depth throughout the house.

Rather than replacing the existing kitchen, we transformed the space through a series of carefully considered updates.

The existing green cabinetry and timber worktops were complemented with handcrafted patterned tiles by Bert & May | Tiles | Reclaimed | Bespoke, solid brass handles by Plank Hardware and blush-toned panelling.

These thoughtful interventions refreshed the room while preserving its original character, creating a kitchen full of warmth and personality.

Every home deserves a corner that invites you to slow down ☕️

This quiet reading area was designed as a place to pause, whether settling into the sofa with a book or working at the vintage desk.

Rather than filling the room with new furniture, we layered carefully chosen vintage pieces, lighting and art alongside the owners’ existing collection, creating a space that feels personal, characterful and effortlessly lived in.

It’s often these quieter corners that become the most cherished places in a home.

Completed earlier this year, this Victorian home in London was designed around the owners’ carefully curated vintage collection.

Rather than reinventing the space, the design embraces the home’s existing character, creating a warm, lived-in interior that feels deeply personal.

We’re beginning with the living room. We’ll be sharing more spaces from this home over the coming weeks.

I’m in Homes & Gardens! ✨

I am incredibly proud to be featured in the March issue of as part of Next in Design 25!

Following last year’s announcement, it’s a very special moment to see this feature in print, finally. Seeing the story of Studio Kaimi shared in such a beautiful way feels like a true milestone for the studio—a real pinch-me moment! 💭🌈

A huge thank you to .rich for the wonderful words and for capturing the essence of my work, and to the entire H&G team for this opportunity. I’m also deeply grateful to everyone who has supported my journey along the way.❣️

I’m so excited for what’s to come and the continued growth of the studio. If you’re planning a project and would like to bring a blend of Japanese calm and Western warmth into your home, I would love to hear from you.

Many shy away from dark colours in small rooms, fearing they might feel cold. But when balanced with natural light, they create a sense of depth, calm, and intimacy.

Design is where functionality and beauty must coexist.

In this study, we focused on making the room feel better to be in, rather than just bigger. By layering rich textures, we created a sanctuary that hugs you back after a busy day in London.

Good design isn’t always about visual impact. Sometimes, it’s about how quietly a space supports the way you live.

Sometimes, it’s the quieter details that define how a space feels.

In a bustling city like London, every square inch matters — but that doesn’t mean a home should ever feel compromised.

When we first saw this room, it was a simple, empty space with little sense of purpose.

Having lived in Tokyo, I’ve always been drawn to the art of small-space design — where thoughtful functionality meets quiet elegance.

What is now a calm, productive study by day effortlessly transforms into a welcoming guest bedroom by night, thanks to bespoke joinery, a Murphy bed, and carefully integrated storage.

By introducing black-framed glazing, layering rich, dark tones, and adding tactile fabrics, we created a space that feels intimate, warm, and filled with light — even in the heart of the city.

It’s not just about saving space.
It’s about elevating the way we live within it.

Small spaces demand the highest level of design discipline. In a bathroom like this, every millimetre matters—the clearances, the proportions, the way the light hits the fluted glass.

Nothing is left to chance. Our process is rooted in technical precision; we translate every design intent into detailed drawings for our craftsmen. It’s this level of coordination that ensures the final result feels effortless.

Luxury isn’t about the boldest gesture; it’s about the quiet accuracy of the ex*****on.

Happy New Year ✨

I spent my holidays in Barcelona, from Christmas through the New Year. Exploring the architecture of Antoni Gaudí was a profound experience.

It reminded me once again that nature holds the most perfect and harmonious forms of geometry.

Beyond the art, I also fully immersed myself in the vibrant flavours of Spanish cuisine.

Carrying these inspirations with me as I step into 2026.
Wishing you all a wonderful year ahead!

あけましておめでとうございます。 クリスマスから年末にかけてバルセロナに滞在しました。

ガウディの建築に触れ、彼が遺した「自然の中にこそ、究極の幾何学的調和がある」という言葉を、あらためて再確認した旅でした。

もちろん美味なスペイン料理もしっかりと堪能。

この旅で得たインスピレーションを糧に、新しい一年を歩んでいきたいと思います。 今年もどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
