Book a consultation
Many places in Cyprus get filled in a hurry: the developer's package, a quick flat-pack order, whatever the last owner left behind. We help you spend where it's felt, save where it isn't, and end up with rooms that feel chosen.

For your home
Maybe you took the developer's package, or did it all in a weekend before your first stay. Sensible, with the time you had. We start with a free consultation at the property, keep what's working, and show you your rooms restyled before anything is bought.
Free consultation. Pieces from any supplier, never above retail. Fees from €25 per square metre + VAT.

Guests choose from the photographs and judge on the first night. As more new places come onto the market, the ones that look and feel best will keep their rates. We've stayed in places of every kind across more than forty countries and hosted guests in homes we built, so we see a property the way a guest does.
Send us your listing and we'll reply with three specific things worth changing. Free, with no obligation.
Get a free 3-point listing checkLive there part of the year and let it the rest? Start with either. We look at it both ways: as the owner arriving for the summer, and as the guest arriving for a week.
Furnish a place by default and the budget spreads evenly, so every piece ends up equally ordinary. We put the money where it's felt every day. Then we make the rest look like more than it cost: a solid timber top on a flat-pack cabinet, a second-hand piece with good bones under a tired finish. Some of that work we do ourselves, and some we hand to the local makers we trust. It depends on the piece.
Guests notice the difference before they can name it. So do you, every evening.
A free consultation at the property, or send us your listing for a free check. Who it's for, how it should feel, and what stays.
Your own rooms, restyled, before a single piece is bought.
Pieces at the shop's own retail price, never above. Either we deliver and place everything ourselves, the sofa facing the view and the lamps where you'll want them in the evening, or we give you a list naming each piece and the shop that sells it.
Send us photographs of one room and answer a few questions. Within two business days you see it restyled, keeping what you own where it works: one image in daylight, one in evening light, the materials, and a short note on what we'd change and why.
€49 + VAT, introductory. Credited in full if we go on to style the space.
Launch projects in Paphos, with our fees waived in return for a published case study. Ask us about it
Stone, wood, metal, cotton, leather and linen that only get better with use.
Reused pieces with real marks, and an old piece or two. A little history gives a room the kind of character new pieces take years to earn.
Never one light from the ceiling. Lamps at two or three heights, warm in the evening, so the room changes as the day does.
Two things that often come with a styling job: a guest's reading of your listing, and photographs of the finished rooms at dusk or dawn.
Your listing read the way a guest reads it: what the photographs promise, what the description claims, and the small things that quietly cost a star. Remote from anywhere, or on site in the Paphos region. The fee comes off a styling job.
A styled room photographed at dusk and/or dawn, when warm light and a glowing interior show it the way it feels to be there. Shot by co-founder Gary Dublanko, a photographer for thirty-five years.
Prints from decades of travel live on the prints page.
The big stores were easy to find, and the least inspiring. The better sources took months to find. When we wanted outdoor seating that would stand up to a Cyprus summer, a local steelworker built our terrace loveseats from reclaimed hardwood we'd brought from Portugal. They will probably outlast us.
Gary and Dea met in Cairo in 1998 and have been making new places feel like home ever since. Dea grew up in Copenhagen, where Danish design taught her to layer light with intention and keep nothing in a room that hasn't earned its place. Moving from country to country, when she couldn't find what she needed, she found something else. As she puts it, a good room, like a good meal, doesn't require expense. It requires attention. Gary brings a farm upbringing in Canada and thirty-five years behind a camera. Together they spent years in Southeast Asia, learning that hospitality is felt more than seen.
They designed and built two homes in Thailand. The second, Dama Zamya, was built entirely off-grid and recognised with an architectural sustainability award. They have stayed everywhere from jungle huts to Aman resorts, and hosted guests in homes they built themselves. Every project is theirs together, from their home in Paphos.
The consultation at your property is free. Fees are per square metre, plus VAT, at three levels: €25 for design and styling, €35 when we also choose the pieces and name the shops, and €35 plus 10% of the approved pieces when we also order, deliver and place everything. The minimum job is €500 at the first level and €750 at the others. Pieces are at the shop's own retail price, never above. Within 24 hours of the consultation you get a proposal with the scope and the fee.
Send us the link to your listing and we'll reply with three specific observations: what's working against it, and what's worth changing first. It's free, with no obligation.
Yes. Many jobs restyle what you own and add only what's missing; others furnish an empty property from scratch. Either way, the budget goes on the pieces you see and touch every day, and we work around the things you love, the red sofa or the bright heirloom, rather than replacing them.
zAmya Remote, our worldwide remote audit, is €300 + VAT for Standard, or €550 + VAT for Premium, which adds a video walkthrough and a re-audit after 90 days. A Verification Call is a €120 + VAT add-on. The on-site audit in the Paphos region is €350 for a studio or 1-bed, €500 for 2–3 beds and €650 for 4–5 beds, all + VAT. If you go on to styling, the audit fee comes off the styling job.
Our starting point is natural materials, and where something else suits your budget or the space better, we'll help you choose it well. It's your home, or your rental, and the choice is always yours.
The on-site audit is a visit to your property combined with a thorough review of your whole listing, available in the Paphos region. zAmya Remote reads your listing with no visit: it cross-checks your photos against the amenities you claim, scores the silent factors guests feel but can't name, checks the description for accuracy, and corroborates guest reviews. It's available anywhere in the world.
One room, restyled before you commit to anything. Send us photographs and answer a short questionnaire, and within two business days you get two images of your own room styled, one in daylight and one in evening light, with suggested materials, a few pieces and a short note on what we'd change and why. It's €49 + VAT at the introductory price, and credited in full if we go on to style the space.
Photography is priced by the size of the property: Small (studio or 1-bed, at least 25 photos) €300, Medium (2–3 bed, at least 40 photos) €450, and Large (villa or 4+ bed, at least 60 photos) €650, all + VAT. Estates, multiple properties and businesses are quoted. We shoot at dusk and/or dawn, when warm light and a glowing interior show a space the way it feels to be there. Available in the Paphos, Peyia and Polis region; elsewhere on request.
Yes. We start with how you want the place to feel to come home to, then furnish it room by room: natural materials first, a few pieces with a past, and each one placed where it works best: the sofa facing the view, the lamps where you'll want them in the evening. We do no building work, so where something needs a contractor we'll say so plainly and point you to the right people.
In person across Cyprus. Within Paphos district there's no travel charge; elsewhere in Cyprus you cover our travel, and we still source and deliver everything. Outside Cyprus we work remotely: you send photographs, we show you your own rooms restyled, and we tell you what to buy and where it goes.
On a launch project in Paphos district, our fees are waived. You pay only for any new pieces, at the supplier's retail price. In return, we photograph the finished space and publish it as a case study, with your approval.
Send us an enquiry, or email [email protected]. For a home, we arrange a free consultation at the property. For a rental, we start with a free 3-point listing check. Either way, you'll hear from us within one business day.
