Daria Demin, founder and principal designer of Circa22 Design Studio
Daria DeminFounder & Principal
Circa22 Design Studio

At Circa22, luxury is quiet, effortless, and deeply personal.

After more than twenty years shaping homes across Manhattan and Brooklyn — training at the Fashion Institute of Technology, certified by the NCIDQ — I still start every project the same way: standing in the empty room, listening to what it wants to become.

My work is rooted in timeless elegance and balanced with a sense of ease. Every space is a study in harmony, where light, texture, and proportion come together into something that feels calm and considered. I favor refined materials and bespoke craftsmanship over trend — and restraint over noise.

Inspiration comes from art and travel, but the design always begins with you — how you actually live, what you love, and the way you want a room to feel when you walk in at the end of the day. I believe true beauty is felt, not forced: homes designed to be lived in, cherished, and enduring.

A Defining Moment

The Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse.

In 2022, Daria was selected to design a room in the Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse — a rare honor among the neighborhood's most respected designers. The room was photographed and published widely, and remains a distillation of the Circa22 approach: warmth, craft, and quiet confidence.

Her work has been featured in Aspire Metro, Brownstoner, Chairish, The Spruce, and The Globe and Mail.
