Interiors designed to be lived in.

I combine architectural thinking with an artist’s sensitivity to form, light, and material — creating calm, precise spaces that feel deeply personal.

Interior project by Maria Yavein

A calm interior is not a trend. It’s a foundation.

I didn’t come to interiors through trends — I came through a culture where form is taken seriously. My background is rooted in art and craft: Stieglitz Academy, jewelry precision, applied arts and porcelain, and composition as a living structure. Today, all of this converges into one thing: space.

The goal is not “to decorate” — but to build a coherent atmosphere where light, objects, and proportions feel inevitable.

Architectural thinking

Space as a system: proportions, depth, movement, and light — not a set of random items.

An artist’s eye

Rhythm, silence, scale, accents — composition that feels natural, not forced.

Material culture

Porcelain, jewelry, craft — disciplined sensitivity to texture, quality, and detail.

Quiet aesthetics

Interiors that don’t scream — they mature, they age well, they become yours.

Projects

Selected interior decoration & concept studies. Calm palettes, natural materials, light scenarios.

Services

I work where the most value appears: the “last mile” of taste and coherence — and also the conceptual backbone that makes decisions consistent.

The interior shouldn’t perform. It should hold your life.

Interior styling & decoration

Palette, textiles, lighting, objects, wall composition, art selection — turning a “set of items” into a finished atmosphere.

Concept & selection

A coherent direction: materials, furniture, lighting scenarios, key accents — so the project has structure, not chaos.

Author supervision

Coordination, sourcing, and final styling — the “last meter” that makes the interior real.

Process

A clear workflow that respects your time — and protects the project’s integrity.

About Maria Yavein

Maria grew up in an architectural environment — and approaches interiors not as decoration, but as structure and meaning.

Her foundation comes from academic training at the St. Petersburg Stieglitz Academy — a school of proportion, form, and discipline. Her professional path is rare in how consistently it develops one core skill: shaping composition with respect for materials and human scale.

Jewelry-making trained precision. Floral composition trained rhythm and silence. Work with the Imperial Porcelain Factory refined object culture — where beauty must also function. Today, all of this expands into space: interiors become the place where architecture, applied art, and everyday life meet.

Background highlights

Stieglitz Academy • Jewelry practice • Author tableware & porcelain projects (IPF) • Floral composition • Interior decoration (New School of Design)

“I design interiors that don’t compete with a person — they support a person.”

Light as structure Objects with meaning Quiet confidence

The surname is not a label — it’s a context. Maria’s work stands on its own: calm, precise, and human.
