At Studio Haya Arafa, we believe that your space should reflect your unique personality. Our mission is to improve your everyday life through thoughtful spaces and objects—whether you’re living, working, dining, learning, or even healing. We believe great design isn’t just about looks—it’s about how it makes you feel.
We spend 90% of our time indoors which means that the way our spaces are designed has a considerable impact on our mood, productivity and the way we think. We’re a Human-Centered Design studio blending the science of human behavior with the art of designing spaces, to enhance your everyday experiences.
We thoughtfully design and furnish interiors that reflect your lifestyle, story, and needs. From space planning to materials and finishes selection, we guide you through every step—to support well-being and elevate everyday living.
Choosing the right pieces goes beyond style—it’s about how you live, move, and connect in your space. We offer personalized furniture selection, sourcing unique and meaningful items that complement your space, enhance comfort, and reflect your personality.
Reimagining layouts, restoring charm, and improving flow while staying true to the building’s character and your vision. Whether it's a small space or a full renovation, we craft interiors that feel deeply personal, functional, and unmistakably like home.

This is where we begin with you. Through a discovery session, we explore your needs, lifestyle, and design goals. We assess the space, gather inspiration, and define the vision that will guide every decision moving forward.
Here, your ideas start taking shape. We develop initial layouts, mood boards, and design concepts that reflect your story and aspirations. This stage is all about creativity, alignment, and envisioning the possibilities.
We take the lead on bringing your vision to life. We know your time is valuable, so we handle the coordination—from managing vendors and schedules to overseeing installations and final details. Step back with confidence—we handle a seamless, stress-free transformation.
We create beautiful and functional kitchens that reflect your style and meet your needs. From custom cabinets to innovative storage solutions, we can help you create the kitchen of your dreams.

We design bedrooms that go beyond sleep, crafted around your lifestyle, with every detail supporting rest, comfort, and clarity. From lighting and furniture to layout, every element is thoughtfully curated to help you relax, recharge, and unwind.
We design outdoor spaces that invite you to slow down, reconnect, and breathe.

It’s you—our clients! We’re a human-centered design studio, and everything we do is shaped by the people we design for. Our mission is to improve your everyday life through thoughtful spaces and objects—whether you’re living, working, dining, learning, or even healing. We believe great design isn’t just about looks—it’s about how it makes you feel.
Human Centered Design is a creative approach to problem-solving through a focus on the needs, contexts, behaviors, and emotions of the people that we design for... through research and empathy; by immersing ourselves in people’s shoes, interpreting their behavioral styles, characteristics, how they live, what they do and what they long for. Then, we generate customized solutions and select those that have the most value and best-fit people’s spaces.
The process involves several phases including an initial consultation, design development, presentation of design concepts, revisions, and final implementation.
We don’t limit ourselves to a specific style—each project is a unique journey. We believe every client has a story, and my role is to translate that story into a meaningful and beautiful space tailored to their lifestyle, needs, and personality.
