Julia’s artistic upbringing shaped her intuitive approach to space and materials. Her designs balance austerity and refinement, juxtaposing vintage elements with art, steel, and fittings from the OMNIRES Y collection in a brushed copper finish. Her creative process always begins with understanding the person: their lifestyle, energy and needs. Only then does she turn to the interior itself, building an atmosphere through textures, light and proportion. Moodboards, sketches and hands-on experiments with materials lead into a stage where the design takes on a life of its own — in 3D visualisations, her most essential tool. The interiors Julia creates are meant to evoke calm, authenticity and a feeling of truly being at home, with every project expressing the balance between aesthetics and everyday comfort.

Julia lives and works in a space that has served as a family art studio since the 1960s. Designed for artists, it still carries their presence: her grandmother’s sculptures, her father’s paintings and lamps, her mother’s prints and furniture – all restored and refined by her parents long before these pieces became collectible. This space, overflowing with objects rich in stories, forms a unique multi-generational collage that accompanies Julia in her daily life.
How did your journey into interior design begin?
Quite naturally. I grew up in a creative environment surrounded by sculptors, graphic designers and architects. Art and design were simply part of everyday life. Wherever we lived, there were beautiful, carefully chosen objects – they became a part of me.
We’re visiting one of your construction sites today. Why this particular place?
My father influenced me the most. We moved often, and he had a gift for discovering remarkable spaces – usually neglected ones that he transformed into extraordinary interiors. I would accompany him on construction sites and observe every stage of the process. Those were my first lessons in design.
How would you define your design style?
It’s difficult to confine it to one label. I mix styles and materials, and I am drawn to things that are unexpected – raw, worn, often overlooked. My style is intuitive and always emerges from the space itself. I try to reveal its character. I feel most at home working with old interiors and historical architectural fabric.
What is your design process?
I begin by getting to know the person – their needs, lifestyle and aesthetic sensibility. Together, we search for inspiration and a direction. I create moodboards and materialboards; this visual conversation helps us see whether we imagine the space in a similar way. Then I move on to 3D visualisations – that is the moment when the project truly comes alive. After that comes the less romantic part: technical drawings, construction work and supervising the implementation.
How do you work with moodboards and material boards?
A moodboard is my first sketch – a collage of atmosphere. I collect anything that builds a mood: photographs, traces of light, architectural details, found objects. It helps me convey the aura I want to create. A materialboard is more tangible – that’s where materials come to life. You can touch them, see how they behave in different light. A computer cannot fully capture that.
You created a custom material board for OMNIRES. What emotions should it evoke?
I want to inspire courage – to combine raw materials with soft ones, heavy with light, creating unexpected pairings. There are handmade ceramic tiles, stainless steel – which I love for its raw yet reflective nature that can even feel warm – glass blocks that beautifully refract light, warm wood, soft fabrics, textured plasters, and my latest discovery: veneers treated with experimental methods in Germany, which are absolutely exceptional. To complement them, I chose OMNIRES fittings in a brushed copper finish, perfectly echoing the reds and pinks woven throughout the composition.
For Julia, design is a dialogue – a conscious process in which her sensitivity meets the client’s needs and lifestyle. She merges her own vision with their expectations, seeking a shared language and embracing thoughtful compromise. She values functional principles but approaches aesthetics intuitively, letting the space itself indicate the direction. She sees each interior as a story – with its own history, character and energy. Her role is to bring these qualities to light rather than conceal them behind a ready-made pattern.
I try to ensure that the interior feels authentic – that it grows out of the place itself: its history, architecture and surroundings. Every space has its own character, and my role is to bring it out, not impose something foreign.
Soon the OMNIRES Showroom will open its doors in Warsaw’s Powiśle district. Alongside the brand’s portfolio, the space will feature original material compositions created by leading Polish interior designers, including Julia Bimer. Her materialboard is a manifesto of sensitivity and boldness in combining contrasts. The composition is built on a conscious dialogue between textures, weight and the temperature of materials, unfolding into a multilayered story about the contemporary interior. Subtle tensions between roughness and softness, light and shadow, guide the eye across the arrangement, which is completed by OMNIRES fittings in a brushed copper finish – resonating with the warm, sensuous character of the whole.
