YAM Studios is a London-based interior design and interior architecture studio founded by Kashi Shikunova in 2013, specialising in contemporary residential renovations, apartment refurbishments, extensions, and new-build family homes across London, the UK and internationally.

Before founding YAM Studios, Kashi developed her experience working with established interior design studios and architectural practices, building a strong understanding of how thoughtful design can shape the way people live. Since then, the studio has created a portfolio of timeless homes designed around longevity, functionality, and modern living.

Our Approach

Kashi believes good design should feel effortless. Her approach combines warm minimalism, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetics, and quiet luxury to create interiors that feel calm, refined, and highly liveable.

Natural materials, thoughtful space planning, layered textures, and understated detailing form the foundation of each project. Rather than following trends, the studio focuses on creating timeless homes tailored to the way each client lives, ensuring every space feels both beautiful and deeply functional.

At the heart of every project is a collaborative and personal design process. Kashi takes time to understand how clients live, gather, relax, work, and move through their homes, ensuring each design reflects their lifestyle and everyday routines.

From early concepts through to technical design, construction, furniture installation, and final styling, Kashi works closely with clients, architects, contractors, and skilled craftspeople to guide projects from idea to completion. Through careful coordination and attention to detail, the studio helps navigate the complexities of renovation while ensuring every detail remains aligned with the original design vision.

Natural light, materiality, and atmosphere play an important role throughout the studio’s work, creating spaces that feel balanced, welcoming, and connected while maintaining a clean and contemporary architectural language.

The result is thoughtful, timeless interiors tailored to the people who live in them — homes designed to support everyday life for years to come.
