Livi. The one who dreamed it all up.
Lívia Kozma is the dreamer and creative director of InteriorVibe. This is her story — which, in a way, is the story of our whole interior design journey as well.
It all began with a dream
In 2019, still at her interior design school desk, Livi already knew exactly what she wanted: creative interiors. Homes, moods — sometimes a single small object occupied her mind, other times an entire apartment. And the more she learned, the more ideas she had. They all shared one thing: the feeling a space can give to the person who lives in it.
The ideas were already there. Only the place where they could unfold was missing.
When the ready-made frames proved too narrow
In 2020 we opened our first studio. Livi was there from the very first moment — she helped design its interior as well. But it soon became clear: ready-made frames and rigid rules were not cut to her world. Even then she was thinking in entire homes, in care and attention — not in fast-paced furniture sales.
So she did not wait for the frames to change. She created her own interior design brand, and made real in it everything that was not possible elsewhere.
Only years later did it become clear: her ideas were ahead of their time even then.
Decorative beams, paint, two in the morning
Before the Budapest studio opened we worked together deep into the night: hauling, painting the decorative beams, designing the furniture. Livi was there in everything, down to the last brushstroke — right up until life intervened. In the most beautiful way possible.
Then our little boy arrived, and for a while Livi stepped back from the day-to-day.
And motherhood quietly moved into her design work too: she has looked at a floor plan differently ever since. She knows where the morning chaos will be, where the evening quiet needs to go — and that a home is good when the children settle in it too.
Meanwhile the company turned in another direction: towards furniture sales and furnishing. The numbers grew — the troubles grew faster. Because no revenue is worth much if what makes us truly ourselves is missing behind it: the soul, the attention, the care.
We learned: selling at that volume, delivering installations and designing to a high standard at the same time is not possible with a small team. One of them always falls behind. And we chose: quality over quantity. We gradually let go of furniture sales, and by the second half of 2025 premium design had taken the lead entirely — and we take on realisation management only for clients with whom we have already completed a successful design phase.
We had to find our way back to what Livi had seen from day one.
From the first mood image to the last textile
We look for the moment in a space that makes coming home a pleasure. Though honestly: coming home is good not because of the space, but because of the people waiting there. Our job is to create the backdrop for that.
“A home should be designed and furnished so that stepping inside brings happiness and joy. It isn’t something we can change from week to week. What I want is to help the home you have dreamed of come true in full.”
Let’s dream it up together.
Tell us the home you dream of — and we’ll look at the rest together.
