Meet the designer

Interior designer Valerija Gelfere

I am Valerija Gelfere, an interior designer in Riga, and I have created interior projects since 2020. I take on any size, from a 3 m² toilet to a large house. Every detail of an interior should help you find calm at home. I create cosiness and a feeling that the place is finished.

I do not push my own vision. I put myself in your place, think about how you will live and what you will feel, and work through the small details: where you cook, work and rest.

You see a 3D visualization before the renovation, so there are fewer surprises on site.

My price is lower than usual because I work alone, with no middlemen: I talk to the tradespeople myself and choose the materials and furniture myself. I do not carry out renovations, but I will recommend people I have worked with and whose work I know. I visit the site, and when it helps I meet you in a café or right in a shop where everything can be shown.

Process

How working with an interior designer goes: 4 steps

Working with Valerija Gelfere takes four steps, from the first conversation to a finished project. The work is under a contract: 50 % prepayment, the rest on completion.

  1. 01

    Conversation and measuring

    Valerija talks through style, colours and budget with you. Measuring is free if you provide a plan or measurements, and €20 if the designer measures.

  2. 02

    Layout and collages

    Two furniture layouts: pick one or combine the best of both. You approve style and colours on collages before 3D starts.

  3. 03

    3D visualization

    You see every room from all angles in 4K. Each stage has up to 3 rounds of revisions.

  4. 04

    List, drawings, renovation

    Depending on the package you get a shopping list and drawings for builders. You order the renovation directly from the tradespeople; site supervision is a separate service.
