ABOUT

YU+ME Design Inc. is a full-service boutique interior design studio based in Vancouver, Canada.

Your home should be the best part of your day, not another item on your to-do list.

We work with people who've built full, demanding lives and want a home that matches the standard they hold everywhere else. That means design that goes beyond good taste: a space that runs quietly in the background of your life instead of asking anything of you. No research, no chasing down samples, no second-guessing a hundred small decisions.

We take on every stage of a project, from first concept to final styling - sourcing, coordinating trades, managing the details most homeowners never see. What makes a YU+ME home distinct isn't a single look; it's how closely it reflects you, from the places you've lived to the pieces you've carried with you along the way.

Good design is an investment, and we treat it that way by choosing quality and craftsmanship that hold up well past the finished photos. Let us take the process off your plate, so you are left with simply a home you love coming back to.

Yumi Murayama, Founder and Creative Director of YU+ME Design Studio

Yumi Murayama founded YU+ME Design Inc. after a first project that had nothing to do with luxury: turning an unfinished basement into a rental suite in 2009. That project taught her something she still designs around today - a space works when it's built for the person actually living in it, not for how it photographs.

Before design, Yumi worked in hospitality, where she learned to notice what people need before they ask for it. That instinct shapes how she works now: interiors that blend Japanese minimalism with West Coast ease, grounded in comfort and how a home actually gets used.

Today, she helps homeowners create spaces that feel like a genuine sanctuary - warm, considered, and built around the life they're actually living.
