We do not design rooms. We find people
You already know what you don’t want. A home that could belong to anyone. Spaces that impress at a glance and quietly exhaust over time. Someone else’s taste, applied to your life.
What you want is harder to name. A place that feels completely, unmistakably yours.
We begin by paying attention. To how you live. To what you return to instinctively. To the places that have stayed with you. Personal taste is rarely something invented. More often, it is something remembered — a childhood home, a hotel you still think about, a city that changed the way you see beauty.
We find it with you. And then we build around it.
Krikla — the story
KRIKLA started in 2014 as a curated gallery of vintage, antique and contemporary interior pieces. Two years later we moved fully into interior design — and haven’t looked back.
Ten years. More than twenty projects of various scope across London and beyond. A practice that grew from an obsession with objects that carry meaning into something larger: the spaces those objects live in, and the people who live alongside them.
In 2020 we added a full turnkey design service — taking projects from the first conversation to the last detail, completely managed.
We are accredited members of the British Institute of Interior Design. Our work has been published in House & Garden and 25 Beautiful Homes.
Our Philosophy
Not performative. Not trend-led. Not designed to impress at a glance and quietly exhaust over time.
We believe the most successful interiors are not the ones with the most decoration, but the ones with the most clarity. Spaces that feel considered rather than styled. Rooms that hold atmosphere, rhythm and restraint.
This is the work we do.
Team
We are a core team of two designers.
Dasha Slavinskaya
Founder · Creative Director · Project Coordinator
Combines a decorative voice with clear structure and management — making this combination Krikla’s signature.
Katie Gundry
Interior Designer
Brings precision to the technical design process, ensuring every space is as well-resolved.
Our principles
Deeply personal
Every project begins with listening. Your history, references and way of living shape everything that follows.
Craft over trend
We work with antique, vintage and handmade pieces — objects that carry memory, story and care.
Clarity over decoration
Good design is not about adding more. It is about understanding what matters, what belongs, and what can be taken away.
