What We Do

Interior Designing (design and execution)

Design is the conceptual phase which includes planning, designing and selecting elements like furniture, colour schemes, lighting and layout to meet the needs of the occupants while reflecting their style.

Execution is the practical phase which translates design ideas into reality through careful planning, sourcing materials and coordinating with contractors for construction and installation.

Through virtual meetings, mood boards & 3D visuals clients receive curated designs tailored to their space, style and budget. It’s a convenient efficient way to transform homes with our professional insights – ideal for those seeking flexible, time-saving design support

Space planning

Space planning service provides organization and arrangement of furniture, fixtures and elements within a space. We focus on maximizing the use of available space while considering factors like movement, lighting and the purpose of the room enhancing both its usability and appearance.It benefits individuals and families to have a hassle-free experience in setting up their rented abodes or commercial spaces.

Makeover or renovation services

Makeover Service typically provides cosmetic updates and changes that refresh the space without a major overhaul. The space gets a fresh look without altering its structure or layout too much by playing with wall colours, adding decorative elements and upgrading the upholstery and tapestry.

Renovation suits outdated or non-functional spaces. In order to improve the aesthetics and functionality we also suggest more extensive changes including structural alterations such as remodelling a room, replacing flooring, reconfiguring layouts or upgrading plumbing and electrical systems etc.

Interior styling consultation

In interior styling service our motto is to enhance the visual appeal and atmosphere of a space by surface level transformations. We focus on aesthetics rather than structural changes to achieve a cohesive, inviting and stylish space, often by curating and rearranging furniture, textiles, accessories, planters and décor items.

Canvas culture

We take pride in creating bespoke, handcrafted elements tailored specifically to client’s needs, preferences and aesthetic requirement of the space. We help in commissioning unique decor items like oil/acrylic/water colour paintings, sculptures, rugs, lighting fixtures, custom wall designs such as hand painted murals and custom fabrics for upholstery and tapestry with personalised patterns n colours that align with the overall design vision.

I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that you did a really good job at understanding our needs and making good design recommendations . You were always available for discussion at short notice and accomodate changes. I’m glad I decided to work with you.

Sowmya & Manoj Sisupalan

Our home interior was looking quite beaten down after many years and Gauri provided a totally refreshed makeover of the drawing room.

She was able to visualize and propose the entire look very well and what was delivered was identical to the drawings or may be looked even better in reality. Was very particular to get every detail, artefact right and did not shy away from visiting stores multiple times with us for selection of each of them – be it a wash basin or tiles design.

What really stood out was a few stunning highlights like a carpet tile at entrance and textured wall outside main door – which were things we had never seen in Pune. Those were really striking and all friends or family visiting us post the work were totally in awe and complimented those without fail. Overall aesthetic and consistent colour theme were as impressive. Of course we ourselves have been still enjoying our “new home” without buying one. Many thanks to her great vision and persistent execution
