Tamineh Dhondy is a London-based interior designer, stylist, and creative director, and the founder of Casina House (@casina_house), an interior design and home staging studio. With over 15 years' experience across residential interiors, styling, and art direction, she works on full renovations, interior design projects, single-room updates, and design consultations, as well as staging properties for sale.

She approaches staging with the same design thinking as an interior design project, developing each scheme in response to the individual property. Her work is informed by architecture, a thoughtful use of materials, and an appreciation of handmade details and craftsmanship. She is interested in the character of individual buildings, natural materials, and the work of skilled makers, and in creating spaces that feel personal, considered, and bring joy to everyday life. Her projects range from historic buildings to contemporary homes.

Tamineh's background is in the art world. She studied Fine Art and History of Art at the University of Leeds and the University of California, San Diego, and spent six years working in art consultancy, leading large-scale art programmes for international hospitality projects. She went on to work as a freelance interior designer and stylist on residential projects, campaigns, editorial photography, and books. She also held senior creative positions, including Head of Studio and Creative Director.

Tamineh also has an HND in Ceramic Design, which she studied at Morley College and graduated with distinction. She continues to make ceramics when time allows. She lives in Herne Hill, South London, with her husband and children, in a late Victorian house she has renovated and designed.
