IKI SPACES was founded by Yareli Ruiz, an interior designer originally from Mexico and now based in Ireland. With a background in visual merchandising and over five years of experience in residential and commercial design, Yareli has always been drawn to how spaces make us feel, not just how they look.

After working in both functional and aesthetic design, she created IKI SPACES with a heartfelt mission: to help people fall in love with spaces again; by transforming empty properties into homes that invite connection, warmth, and emotion.

Rooted in the Japanese concept of iki—a blend of elegance, simplicity, and spontaneity—our approach goes beyond decoration. We use sensory styling, curated high-quality furniture, and a thoughtful design narrative to create spaces that buyers connect with instantly.

But emotional connection is only part of the story.

We believe that when a property feels like home, it sells faster, rents better, and generates more value for everyone involved. It’s a win-win: the investor maximises returns, and the future resident finds a space where they can truly belong.

At IKI SPACES, our mission is simple: To create meaningful spaces that connect, inspire, and sell.
