A year in motion.
One texture, one idea, one quiet discovery at a time.
From sketches to site visits, from shared vision to refined detail — thank you for being part of it.

As we step into a new year, we’re reminded that the beauty of home, like life, lies in its ability to evolve.
A well-considered space doesn’t stay fixed — it moves with the light, the seasons, and with you.

Here’s to 2026 bringing calm, clarity and rooms that support your life fully.

Wishing you a peaceful and nourishing year ahead —
from all of us at Yoko Kloeden Design.

Designed for effortless living, this kitchen balances calm simplicity with clever functionality. A minimal palette sets the tone, elevated by elegant grey marble countertops that add both refinement and durability.

On this Christmas Eve, pause for a breath between the wrapping paper and the playlist. Amidst the festive noise, the most meaningful beauty is often the subtlest — a soft glow from the tree lights, the scent of pine, the hush of a winter evening.

In Japan, this idea is called Yūgen — a quiet, profound grace that reveals itself when we slow down.
So tonight, leave space between the moments. Let your home hold stillness. Let it whisper instead of shout. That’s where the magic lives.

Wishing you a peaceful, grounded Christmas — from our home to yours.
✨ Merry Christmas Eve from Yoko Kloeden Design.

Once disconnected from the garden, this space now flows seamlessly outside with matching floor tiles and a lush living wall. A favourite spot for reading, meditating, or entertaining, the Garden Room brings nature and light indoors year-round.

Light transforms space as skillfully as any material. Morning sun, shifting shadows, or the subtle glow of a lamp animates textures, reveals depth, and evokes emotion.

At YKD, we approach illumination as a design element, allowing architecture and light to collaborate, so emptiness becomes presence, and spaces become inhabited not just physically, but sensorially.

Blending a period home with Japanese design isn’t about living with less — it’s about creating clarity, flow and a deeper connection to nature.

Original rooms can be enhanced through quiet restraint.
Newer extensions can be shaped with light, proportion and thoughtful views.
And when the inside meets the garden seamlessly, the whole home begins to breathe.

If you’re renovating a Victorian or Edwardian home, this balance is entirely possible — and beautiful.

We’ve written a guide on how to blend Japanese minimalism with Victorian architecture with confidence and sensitivity.

Victorian homes carry a beauty that doesn’t need competing with — only refining.
High ceilings, tall windows, delicate mouldings… all of these details create a natural harmony that pairs effortlessly with Japanese design principles.

The secret isn’t stripping things back.
It’s knowing what to honour — and gently shaping the rest around it.

In our latest journal article, we share how to create a calm, characterful home where Victorian architecture and Japanese philosophy work together, not against each other.

Discover the principles behind the harmony.

In the sitting room, the couple’s love for mid-century design and muted tones sets the tone for a peaceful reading retreat. A key structural intervention opened this space to the kitchen, allowing daylight to reach what was once the darkest part of the house. Now, from a single armchair, the eye travels through layered spaces straight to the garden beyond – a seamless visual axis from front to back, rooted in calm, nature, and connection.

‘When a view is deliberate, it becomes part of the architecture itself: a still point that offers clarity and calm within the rhythm of everyday life.’ - Yoko Kloeden

A throwback to our lovely feature in Livingetc last month, exploring the art of framing views within interiors. It was a pleasure to share my perspective on how architecture can gently guide the way we experience the spaces around us.

Our Story

Yoko Kloeden Design was founded by a Japan-born, corporate-investor-turned-designer, Yoko Kloeden in 2015 with one mission: to create spaces that care about the people inside from the beginning of a project.

With the explosion of visual-heavy online content and social media, more and more people seem to believe design is something that you can click and buy on your finger tips, something that you can copy and paste, something you can consume to make a quick buck.

In the modern world where average person in the UK check a mobile phone every 12 minutes and where people are more connected than ever, the mental health crisis is among the top of the government’s list...

Enough.
