We turn what you imagine into a picture: how furniture, walls and daily life sit together.
Soft-furnishing planning, furniture selection and small studio planning. Custom-made is optional; ready-made pieces from IKEA or HOLA can also be arranged into a space of your own.
For people about to move in, or who want the home they live in to become what they want it to be.
For shops and studios that want to raise the value of their service and their customers' experience. The moment a customer walks in, they have already priced your service.

Renders let you see the finished space before you buy or build.

Perfect for anyone who wants a comfortable, practical and good-looking space without piecing it together alone. Every single thing I bought was nice, yet together they never felt consistent. Consulting before the space is built saves a lot of unnecessary spending. Worth it!
Using curated pieces to adjust the atmosphere of a home worked remarkably well and was very precise. The renders of the whole space made it easy to picture the result. I loved the final proposal, the suggestions for extra pieces were a pleasant surprise, everything matched the home style I like, and the budget was well controlled.
Thank you for helping with the early planning. We lacked experience and did not know how best to plan, especially the layering, selection and planning of the lighting.
Living vibe is a planning and design service. The design phase takes about 3–4 weeks, depending on your needs and the space.
We can help choose paint and floor colors; the owner finds the contractors.

The whole planning journey written as a small book: why the layout works, renders of the space, dimensions and purchase links for the chosen furniture, the lighting layout and more. You can follow it to buy and carry out the work yourself.
“First life, then spaces, then buildings.” Jan Gehl, Danish urban designer
For eight years I worked in urban design and public space research, carrying this spirit into many public places: first observe how people move, where they stay and where they feel at ease, then design the space. In 2025 I brought the same method back to the scale of everyday life at home.
The Chinese name, 生活之間 (shēnghuó zhījiān), means “between living”. Life is always in motion, and so are the spaces that hold it. Only later did I notice that Gehl's best-known book is called Life Between Buildings.
We believe taste grows out of daily life, so we start from yours: find where you and the space get stuck, then look for answers together.
