What makes a house feel like yours?

Deniz Akgunay, Dubai-based creative and founder of Akgunay Concept, invites designers, architects and creatives to unpack the questions we all face at home: what actually matters in interior design, how to choose between styles, why certain colors change the way a room feels, and how the smallest details end up making the biggest difference.

These are honest, easygoing conversations for anyone planning a renovation, furnishing a first home, or simply curious about why some spaces feel so good to be in.

Recorded in Dubai, made for design lovers everywhere.

  • Interior Design Is a Feeling - Chapter 2 with Reva
    2026/07/24

    We got interior design wrong. It was never about the marble, the brands, or this year's Pantone color — it's about how a space makes you FEEL. 🛋️✨

    Chez Deniz is back for Season 2! In this first chapter, Deniz sits down with Neel, founder of Dubai design & build studio REVA — The House of Stories, to unpack the psychology of interior design: why some rooms instantly calm you down (and others make you want to leave), what separates timeless design from passing trends, and why the most expensive materials in the world can't save a badly planned room.

    Whether you're renovating your house, decorating your first apartment, or just obsessed with beautiful spaces — this conversation will change how you look at every room you walk into.

    In this episode:

    ▸ Why design is a feeling, not decoration

    ▸ The real difference between timeless design and trends

    ▸ Why luxury isn't about money (or logos)

    ▸ The #1 decision that makes or breaks a renovation: spatial planning

    ▸ Using Pinterest, Instagram & AI for design — where to draw the line

    ▸ Buying the sofa before planning the room (please don't)

    ▸ Building a design business: from creative to CEO

    ▸ Hiring designers: why attitude beats talent

    ▸ Sustainability, circular design & the 30-year armchair
