Design to Impress, a full-service interior design studio led by Natalie Haruzika, creates spaces that respond to the individuality of their clients while remaining inviting, functional, and attuned to everyone who will inhabit them. Their work reminds us that interiors should breathe in harmony with life itself, responding intuitively to movement, light, and the rhythm of everyday activities.

How easily we overlook that interiors exist to serve us&mdash;not merely at the level of utility, but by resonating with our aesthetic, mindset, and environment. In daily life, we often inhabit spaces that feel outdated, uncomfortable, or poorly adapted&mdash;whether homes, offices, or public areas&mdash;and we forget the sensation of entering a space designed with intention, awareness, and care.

Founded in 2016, Design to Impress specialises in bespoke interior concepts for both private clients and B2B partners. The studio transforms any space into a vibrant environment that enhances daily life and inspires wellbeing. Whether a home, a renovated apartment, or a public venue, every project is approached with meticulous care, ensuring that function, aesthetics, and human experience coexist seamlessly. Working internationally, the studio has realised projects across Europe, collaborating with private clients, developers, and companies.

Each design is grounded in the client&rsquo;s habits, needs, and lifestyle, as well as the architectural, cultural, and functional context of the space.

From the initial concept to the final execution, every decision is informed by a careful understanding of how a space will be inhabited and experienced.
For founder and creative director Natalie Haruzika, design is both deeply personal and globally informed. Her travels and intercultural perspective shape the studio&rsquo;s approach, bringing a richness of experience and openness to diverse aesthetics to every project. Participation in international interior design exhibitions sparks fresh ideas, while continuous collaboration with leading professionals in design and architecture ensures the studio remains at the forefront of contemporary practice.

Haruzika and her team approach every commission as an opportunity to craft environments that transcend the physical dimensions. Interiors are designed to radiate warmth, reflect personality, and communicate a sense of timeless style. Their goal is to create spaces that are both immediately comfortable and enduringly inspiring &mdash;environments where inhabitants feel connected, at ease, and fully seen.
When stepping into a home created by Design to Impress, it is effortless to imagine the person it was designed for. The space responds intuitively to its purpose, resonates with the energy of its inhabitants, and integrates seamlessly with its surroundings. By weaving these three elements together, the studio creates interiors that evolve in harmony with life itself&mdash;spaces that are both alive and enduring.

A compact apartment at a seaside resort exemplifies this approach. Every detail evokes the rhythm of waves, the warmth of sun-kissed sand, and the tactile smoothness of stones just gathered from the shore. Furniture curves gently, light and warm beiges harmonise with deep blue accents, and wooden details echo the surrounding landscape. This space is calming for the senses, while stimulating for imagination, designed to nurture adults while engaging younger family members.

Every element is considered&mdash;from the flow of natural light across surfaces to the subtle resonance of textures beneath touch.

In contrast, a more expansive living room with soaring ceilings evokes the serenity of a forest. Deep green tones and rich, caramel-hued timber create a natural sanctuary. Plush seating invites inhabitants to pause, breathe, and connect with the space, while architectural elements allow movement to feel intuitive and fluid. Each detail is deliberately chosen: the soft sheen of fabrics, the tactile quality of wooden surfaces, and the rhythm of sightlines that guide the eye toward elements of beauty and comfort. This home offers a refuge from urban intensity while remaining a welcoming environment for social gatherings.

Few spaces embody immersion and attunement as fully as a home spa. In a private residence, Design to Impress transformed the area into a sanctuary filled with light and air, as if drifting amidst summer clouds. Soft neutral tones frame a marble swimming pool adorned with delicate detailing, while spherical low lights bathe the room in a golden glow. Every element has been selected to support relaxation and enhance sensory experience&mdash;from the subtle reflection of light across water to the gentle tactile quality of surfaces underfoot. The space encourages both physical and emotional ease, offering a daily ritual of calm and rejuvenation.
Design to Impress similarly applies its philosophy to public and commercial environments. In collaborative spaces, the studio prioritises functionality, comfort, and sensory engagement. Materials, textures, and layouts are selected to support movement, interaction, and productivity, while also establishing a strong visual identity. Every choice, from lighting intensity to furniture proportions, is considered in relation to the human experience, ensuring the space is welcoming and fully responsive to those who inhabit it.

Every project balances comfort, aesthetics, and materiality. Airy spaces meet grounding furniture, rough tactile surfaces harmonise with smooth stone, and every object is chosen with purpose. Light, colour, and spatial rhythm interact to create an environment that feels alive, coherent, intuitive and intentional. Every space by Design to Impress is crafted to respond to life itself. Interiors reflect inhabitants&rsquo; personalities, rhythms, and needs while connecting organically to their surroundings. Designs are alive, flexible, and adaptive, able to accommodate both quiet reflection and social interaction. Materials, light, and furniture are orchestrated to support daily routines while fostering moments of enchantment and encounter.

Design to Impress reminds us that interiors are more than functional&mdash;they are living environments.

They communicate identity, nurture wellbeing, and provide a foundation for life experienced fully. Every home, office, or public space designed by the studio is a holistic experience, where all elements are carefully considered and details contribute to a coherent, immersive environment.
