But, who’s running HomeDesignNew?

Galina Bokhan

CEO & Founder

Galina is the owner of HomeDesignNew.com – she started the site back in July 2008, from his passion for interior design and decorations and since then the site went from being a simple blog to one of the most popular home design websites on the web right now. She has a bachelor’s degree in management which probably helped her a bit in managing HomeDesignNew, but it was his love for architecture and home design that really kept this site going in its early days.

At just 24, Galina is now in charge of a small team that takes care of this site, keeps you updated with new home décor ideas every day and helps the site grow even more.
