Hello - I’m Olga Kuzmina, an interior designer based in Lausanne, working across Switzerland.
I work with clients investing in new-build and residential projects, helping them define a clear direction and make confident design decisions from the earliest stages through to a cohesive final result.
From layouts and materials to furniture, lighting and finishing layers,
I bring structure and clarity to a process that can otherwise feel complex and overwhelming.
For me, design is not an aesthetic luxury - it’s a tool for clarity, coherence and confident decision-making.
How we help
Investing in a home - whether in a new development or an existing property - is a significant milestone, followed by a series of decisions that shape how you will actually live in the space.
From early choices about layouts, materials and lighting to later decisions around furniture and finishing touches,
each step influences how your home will function, feel and evolve over time.
Without a clear direction, this process can quickly become overwhelming and lead to costly or inconsistent decisions.
I help you approach it with structure and clarity. We first define how you want to live in the space, and translate that into a coherent interior - guiding key decisions along the way, from early planning through to the final layers.
This includes:
-
understanding your lifestyle and priorities
-
defining layout and overall direction
-
creating clear design concepts and visual support
-
guiding choices of materials, finishes and lighting
-
advising on custom elements and furniture
-
participating in key meetings and site visits
-
supporting decisions during implementation
-
sourcing and coordinating selected elements
Why this matters:
-
You make decisions with clarity and confidence when designing your home
-
You get a cohesive, complete interior - not a patchwork of random choices.
If you are at the stage of planning, starting a renovation or have just received the keys, this is where clarity matters most.
Let’s discuss your project and define the right direction from the start.
Testimonials
" Working with Olga was one of the best decisions I made for my project. From the very early stages right through to the finishing touches, she supported me every step of the way.
Before we started, my biggest uncertainty was how all the pieces would come together. I had ideas, but no clear sense of how to turn them into a cohesive, functional space. Olga changed that completely. Her eye for design is exceptional, and her attention to detail is remarkable. She helped with absolutely everything: the room layouts, the bathrooms, the electrical layout (which was absolutely critical for this space), and every single piece of furniture, each one carefully and thoughtfully selected. And what really sets Olga apart is her care for the small things: she handpicked the wooden door handles, chose every lighting fixture, and considered countless little details that, on their own, might seem minor but together made an enormous difference to how the space feels.
What I valued most was how she guided me through decisions I would have found overwhelming on my own. The design process gave me real confidence instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted that each choice fit into a larger vision she helped me see. What surprised me most was how much those tiny details, alongside the bigger structural choices like room layouts and electrical work, shaped the final atmosphere. It's something you can only achieve when someone is genuinely invested in every aspect of the project.
The final result is a space that feels both elegant and genuinely liveable exactly what I hoped for but couldn't have achieved alone. Working with Olga didn't just improve the project; it elevated it, with her professionalism and care evident at every stage.
I wholeheartedly recommend this process to anyone planning a renovation or a new home. Having a professional who combines creative vision with meticulous attention to practical detail makes all the difference. I'm truly grateful for this partnership."
" Our family recently collaborated with Olga to refine the vision and interior planning for the living spaces in our mid-20th-century home. Our goal was to honor the house's heritage while ensuring the spaces were functional, all without altering the original layout.
Olga thoroughly assessed our lifestyle, needs, and wishes, which helped us clarify our interior design concept. She guided us in exploring new layout possibilities, discussing the pros and cons in a practical, hands-on manner. We truly appreciated her careful attention to our needs and her meticulous approach to details, which were evident in the final space layout and 3D design concept. The final design Olga proposed not only met our practical needs but was also incredibly inspirational, creating a cozier, more vibrant, and relaxing space with timeless design cues. The detailed floor planning developed by Olga significantly simplified communication and direction for our construction companies. We are very much looking forward to seeing our design come to life.
I wholeheartedly recommend Olga to anyone considering setting up a new space or remodeling their current one. With so much interior design inspiration readily available on platforms like Pinterest, it's crucial to clarify your vision and direction before embarking on a home remodeling project, and Olga excels at this."
"Olga kindly helped me to arrange my interior. She knew how to listen to my needs, my choices in terms of style, materials and colors as well as my requirements. She accompanied me with enthusiasm and offered me several alternatives, each as interesting as the next. It’s been a great pleasure working with Olga and I thank her very much for her help and her excellent services as an interior designer. It's a real success!."
“Thank you Olga for your professionalism and dedication. My living room and dining room have been brought to life thanks to you and the result is beyond my expectations. Your attention to detail, step by step approach as well as your efficiency was really appreciated. Highly recommend your services and will most certainly use your services too again! “
"Responsible, well-organized, pleasant in communication specialist. Olga provided us with several options, all options were within the agreed budget. The designer always found time to answer our questions, replay one or the other. It was easy to work with Olga: thanks to her plans, everything was clear and concrete, she took into account all our wishes, was detailed and meticulous in her work. At the end, we got the documents with a clear “action plan”. We can recommend Olga as a designer with pleasure."
"Olga took all our house into her aspect. Halls, kitchen, kid’s room and of course our living room! She took our house plan and came with actions in all over the house. She had stayed just a few hours but came with lots of changes and advises which changed all sense of our house! She has an amazing view on all parts of the house she sees, and she has great knowledge about furniture styles, brands, accessories, the dimensions of the objects you should handle, even she has a great knowledge on plants you like to have. She handles her/your project seriously! She understands your needs, even the pieces you can not get departed. Finally she transforms your place into the form which you love to be in! With great help of her I love to be in my house, we all enjoy our new peaceful style. I am so glad that I know whom to call in our next moving"
"We invested in an under construction apartment and were required to be involved in choosing most aspects of the apartment right from tiles to type of walls to door handles even the colour of the product that is used between the tiles to put them together! Having absolutely no experience doing this and that these decisions stay with you forever, we felt uncomfortable making these decisions by ourselves and decided to get help. We explored having someone remote from our home country but given that it is not the same without being around physically decided to get Olga’s help!
Olga was very professional, always available for advice. We started with some online meetings initially and she was very well prepared for each one of them. She also accompanied us to many selection meetings with suppliers and gave inputs based on latest trends, practicalities and our tastes. It was great to have an expert advising us who has a much broader perspective on the details because of the experience. Also great to have a third (neutral) person’s opinion when the husband and wife cannot agree on something 😉
We decided to also get her help for selecting the interiors of our apartment and she provided amazing suggestions for every room – with multiple options of furniture, décor elements of various price ranges. She also came to the apartment when we were making wall installations with handymen to ensure it is done right and provided guidance. The end result has been absolutely fantastic and we get so many compliments about the interiors from our visitors.
Olga is patient, calm, a good listener, has amazing work ethics and always has the client’s tastes, best interests in mind. It was a pleasure to work with her and I fully recommend her services to anyone looking to get professional help for home interiors"
