Meet Irina Nikolaeva
Founder & Interior Designer
Luxury Guide Design Curator

With an unmistakable eye for sophistication and a deep understanding of architectural design, Irina Nikolaeva is recognized for creating refined, high-end interiors that embody timeless elegance, individuality, and effortless luxury. As the founder and creative director of DesignWorld Interior Design Studio, Irina delivers bespoke residential and commercial spaces tailored to the lifestyles of discerning clients who value exceptional design, quality, and attention to detail.

Her passion for interiors began at an early age, inspired by the world of architecture, fashion, art, and international design. This lifelong fascination evolved into a professional career, leading her to earn a Master’s degree in Architectural Environment Design in 2015. Since then, she has developed a distinctive design philosophy centered around elevated living, architectural harmony, and the seamless balance between beauty and functionality.

Known for her highly personalized approach, Irina works closely with each client to create interiors that feel curated, sophisticated, and deeply individual. Every project is approached as a complete lifestyle experience — where custom details, carefully selected materials, bespoke furnishings, and thoughtful spatial planning come together to create spaces that feel both luxurious and timeless.

In addition to her work as a designer, Irina is the author of the book Psychology of Design, where she explores how interiors influence emotions, wellbeing, and everyday experiences. This understanding of the emotional connection between people and their environments brings an added depth and intentionality to her work.

Irina continuously draws inspiration from the international design scene, regularly attending leading exhibitions and sourcing exclusive materials and furnishings from across Italy, Spain, Germany, and the United States. Her global perspective, combined with strong technical expertise and meticulous project execution, allows her to create interiors that are both visually exceptional and flawlessly functional.

Driven by creativity, precision, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence, Irina Nikolaeva creates extraordinary interiors designed to inspire, impress, and stand the test of time.
