Olga Skorik Design

I have been operating under the name Ermitage Design since 2008. Given the highly personal relationship I have build with my clients over the years it felt like a natural progression to change the company name to my name, Olga Skorik.

Creating a perfect interior takes more than taste and a good eye

I am passionate about beautiful spaces.  My heart skips a beat when I see them, I love to be in them and I am living my dream helping to create them. They can be serene and calm, elegant and poised, playful and whimsical or stark and minimalistic. 

Your space is right for you when it fills you with positive emotions.  You want to share it with your loved ones.  You want to pause and be there for just another moment.

Your perfect space could be a quiet library to read a book or a funky lounge to entertain friends, or even just a chair on the corner of a deck to drink a glass of wine. My style is inspired both by the places where I have lived  -  like Moscow, London and New York - and those where I have played - like Ibiza, Zermatt and Rome.  Wherever I go, I am looking for those elements that combine to create beauty with a twist.

But beauty is not useful unless it is also practical.  I will look for basins that don’t splatter, handles that are friendly to your hand and table tops that can be wiped easily.  Moreover,  my investment banking background translates into benefits for my clients. I am rigorous with costs and budgets, organise projects like military campaigns and deliver on time. Creating your perfect space takes more than taste and a good eye: it takes hustle, knowledge and fanatical attention to detail. And it takes a collaboration between designer and client that should be pleasure for both of us. 

I look forward to help you with your projects.
