DESIGN
01
Every project draws on the studio's specialism in West African interior design, adapted to each home's context.
Each project is tailored to the scale of the brief. Some clients come to us with a single floor of a London townhouse; others commission a whole-home transformation. The level of care and rigour is the same. We work with clients across London, the wider UK, and internationally.
Design fees begin at £20,000 and are scoped to each project. Get in touch to receive a personalised proposal.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
common QUESTIONS
Q. How do I schedule a consultation
Send us an enquiry through the form on our contact page with a brief description of your project. We will respond within two working days to arrange a convenient time.
Q. Can you work with my existing furniture?
Yes. We are happy to incorporate pieces that hold personal or cultural significance into the new design. During the discovery phase, we assess which existing items work within the overall scheme.
Q. How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary depending on scope. A single-room redesign may take two to three months; a whole-home transformation typically spans six to twelve months. We provide a detailed timeline as part of your project proposal.
Q. How much can I expect to accomplish in a
1-hour consultation?
Clients are often surprised by how much can be achieved during a one-hour consultation. Many leave the session feeling inspired, clear on their next steps, and full of fresh ideas for their space.
Our approach is focused, thoughtful, and highly efficient.
If you’re considering changes across several rooms or would like more in-depth guidance, we may recommend booking a two- or three-hour session instead. We’re happy to advise on the most suitable option when you submit your enquiry.
Q. How MUCH ARE INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN PROJECTS ?
Each project is quoted uniquely with design fees starting at £20,000. Once you filled in the enquiry form and had a discovery call we'll get back to you with a design fee quote.
Q. Do you work outside London?
We work with clients across the UK and internationally. For projects outside London, we adjust our site visit schedule and can manage procurement and installation remotely where needed.
Q. How does the consultation work?
Our consultations are held online via video call. Before your session, we’ll email you everything you need to prepare, including a link to join the call.
During the consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to share your space through screen share or video, ask questions, and receive tailored feedback. The session is designed to be collaborative, flexible, and shaped around your specific needs.
"We loved working with Safiya. We felt listened to and she made sure to tweak things based on our preferences as opposed to forcing choices on us. We loved the visuals for our project and also loved that we were provided several colour schemes to choose from. The final design felt perfectly aligned.
Overall, we feel our Design Consultation was a good investment!
— OMOTOLA & CHINEDU, PAST CLIENT
"Working with Safiya was a breeze. We came in stuck on how to style our open concept living room and kitchen, a space that had been giving us a real headache. Safiya, was attentive to our needs while gently steering us away from choices we might have regretted."
— HAJ, PAST CLIENT
"Safiya Yahaya Studio brought my vision to life beyond my imagination. I'm currently trying to build a boutique hotel, and the team was extremely patient with my multiple ideas..."
— TOMI, FOUNDER - PALM CLAY HAUS
