About Aest
Aest Interior Design is a Copenhagen-based interior design studio, founded in March of 2025. It services both private clients and business clients, and while the approach and process differ, the goal is shared – to creating spaces that are an extension of who you or your business are. Whether you are looking for making smaller but impactful changes, or a full transformation, Aest can create a service tailored to your needs. There is flexibility in the packages, and all happens through 1-1 consultations and collaboration – to make sure your vision and my expertise result in a space that feels right.
What you can expect
Every project begins with a personal narrative. Whether you're envisioning a family home or a boutique business space, my goal is to make it an extension of who you are. We might draw inspiration from a piece of art you love, your company’s brand colors, or your favorite travel destination. By weaving these unique elements into the concept, we ensure the result isn’t just beautiful, but also deeply meaningful to you.
As the founder and sole designer of Aest, I bring a blend of creative vision and practical planning to each project. With a background in business and a diploma in interior design, I manage the process while also dreaming up bespoke and aesthetic solutions. This means you get the best of both worlds: a well-organized, transparent experience and a design that captures your personality. I see myself as your design partner – a trusted advisor and sounding board – ensuring you feel heard, informed, and confident every step of the way.
In the end, interior design is about how you feel in your space. When our project is finished, I want you to walk in and feel an immediate sense of comfort, inspiration, and belonging – as if every piece is in the perfect place and the space was made just for you. My passion is helping you live and work in an environment that supports and inspires you.
If this sounds like the experience you’re looking for, I’m ready to get started – let’s create your dream space together.
Gabriela’s story
Hi, I am Gabriela, the founder and designer behind Aest Interior Design. Originally from Bratislava, I moved to Copenhagen in 2016 to study at Copenhagen Business School, with a dream of one day building something of my own.
For years I moved from one place to another without ever truly feeling at home. Apartments were temporary; I never hung artwork or bought plants because I always thought, “What’s the point if I’ll be moving again soon?” What I didn’t realize was how much that lack of a personal sanctuary was affecting me. Everything changed when I settled down and poured my heart into designing my own space – using colors that calmed me and materials that felt like a warm hug. Suddenly four walls became a home. I felt safe, grounded, and myself. That experience showed me the power of intentional interior design, and made me realise I wanted to help others feel that same connection to their spaces.
I went back to study design, earning a Diploma in Interior Design from the National Design Academy. Since early 2024, I have been designing interiors for both private homeowners and small businesses, merging my analytical skills from my business background, with my creative vision, to bring my client’s visions to life.
For me, Aest is more than a design studio – it is my way of turning empty walls into homes filled with connection, calm, and authenticity.
