Working with Chrissy and her team from Cly Design has been an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience for my home! From the initial consultation to the final touches, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail exceeded all my expectations. One of the standout aspects of their work was their ability to truly listen to my needs and vision. They took the time to understand my style preferences, lifestyle, and functional requirements, then used their expertise to bring my ideas to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. The design process was seamless. Chrissy presented mood boards, color palettes, and layout options that reflected a perfect balance of form and function. They were incredibly patient with my questions and provided thoughtful explanations and suggestions every step of the way. What truly sets them apart is their eye for detail. From selecting the perfect light fixtures to coordinating textures and fabrics, every element felt intentional and cohesive. They also managed the project timeline and budget meticulously, ensuring there were no surprises along the way. The end result is nothing short of stunning. My space now feels like a true reflection of my personality—inviting, stylish, and perfectly functional. I’ve received countless compliments from friends and family, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

ABOUT US
Most interior designers studied rooms. I studied people.
Fifteen years in luxury fashion taught me that the best design is always about the person, never just the space. As a buyer for Barneys New York and founder of Cadeau Maternity, I learned what makes people feel truly at home in what surrounds them — the proportion, the texture, the light, the quiet details that most people sense but can't name.
That eye is what I bring to every home I design.
Chrissy Lee Yu is the founder and principal designer of Cly Design. Holding a diploma from KLC School of Design and drawing on decades of experience across New York and London, Chrissy brings rigour, warmth and an uncommon eye to every project she takes on. She works across St John's Wood, Highgate, Hampstead and throughout London, collaborating with a trusted network of craftspeople, suppliers and artisans to deliver spaces of lasting beauty.
Every detail considered. Every space personal. Every home, a masterpiece.
HOW WE THINK
01 — Lived-in, not staged
A beautiful home is one that works for your mornings, your evenings, your life exactly as it is. We design for how you actually live, not how a room might photograph.
02 — Timeless over trendy
We choose materials, forms and finishes that will feel just as right in twenty years as they do today.
03 — You, reflected back
Every decision — every fabric, every finish, every piece of furniture — begins with a deep understanding of who you are.
THE PROCESS
1. Discovery — We listen first. A beautiful home is one that works for your mornings, your evenings, your life exactly as it is. We design for how you actually live, not how a room might photograph.
2. Concept & Direction — Moodboards, colour palettes, material stories and spatial layouts that capture the essence of your brief.
3. Design & Development — Detailed 2D and 3D drawings, bespoke sourcing, furniture specification and supplier coordination.
4. Installation & Reveal — We manage every detail of delivery, installation and final styling, handing over a space that is complete in every sense.
