It feels cold somehow, a little too clean and spotless. This is an issue that is common with newly built homes, because…
Happy Sunday, dear friends! Today, when I was doing in the morning my interior design projects, I was thinking that working from home is the future of the modern workplace. Employers want to give complete liberty to their workers to decide their own working hours and workplace. It is a great thing but there are…

The owner’s intention is to give it for rent, so the main requirement was to create very practical, subtle, hotel-like interiors that most of…
I was thrilled when Chairish (an exclusive online marketplace for vintage and used furniture) asked me to design a Mad Men-inspired room. Yes, Mad Men’s final set of episodes is set to air beginning April 5; so we’ll be saying our final goodbyes to Don, the agency, and their iconic decor! Using inspiration from the Mad Men set, I needed…
