Five28

A day at FIVE28.

Nobody talks about how much of interior design is decision-making.

One day you’re reviewing renders.
The next you’re comparing material samples.
An hour later you’re on site making sure what was designed is what gets built.

The finished project is what everyone sees. This is some of what happens before then.

Ten years later, it’s easy to see the work, the projects, and the growth.

But every new week is a reminder that none of it started fully formed.
Behind what you see today are stories most people never hear, moments, decisions, and meaning that shaped everything.

One of those stories is the origin of the name FIVE28.
In this clip, and reflect on where it all started and the meaning behind a name that has become much bigger than they ever imagined.

A new week. A deeper look at where it all began.

2024 was the year Five28 was tested like never before.

For months, salaries weren’t paid. The pressure was real. The uncertainty was heavy. There were days when giving up would have seemed like the easier option.

In this clip, FI and BI reflect on one of the most difficult seasons in our 10-year journey and how Five28 found a way to keep moving forward.

A question for you : Have you ever gone through a season that tested you or your business, and what helped you keep going?

Project LB is officially 80% done, and seeing this office space transform from “where we started” to what it looks like now is the kind of Monday motivation we like.

A few final touches left, but the vision is already speaking loud and clear.

A Nigerian home can be beautiful and still feel incomplete.

From breathable spaces to layered lighting and cultural details, these are the things we need to start seeing more of in our homes.

The best spaces aren’t just nice to look at, they make everyday living feel easier, calmer, and more intentional.

Which one do you think Nigerian homes need the most?

One thing about internships at Five28?
You quickly learn that “small adjustment” rarely means small… and “quick site visit” is usually a full-day commitment 😂
