About Us

An award-winning interior design studio based in St. Albans covering Hertfordshire and London. I specialise in renovating residential projects and providing Project Management As featured in The Times, British Vogue, Good Housekeeping, Red Magazine, Your Home magazine, 25 Beautiful Homes and the BBC website. Are you extending, or reconfiguring the layout of your home, knocking through walls, and installing a new kitchen or bathroom? Feel overwhelmed with the amount of work involved? I would love to help you by creating ease and allowing you to make key design decisions easily without stress. I start by working closely with you, getting to know and understanding your needs through my design process. I offer three services: Design & Build, Full Renovation - which includes in-person design meetings and presentations, scaled floor plans, 3D renders, and elevations, submit our trusted contractors for the project and work with them to coordinate the project. The service also includes sourcing and placing orders on your behalf, installation of furniture, providing a full turnkey service. Design Only - Ideal for the seasoned renovator who is renovating and wants the luxury of using a professional Interior Designer and their support throughout the project. This means you will have access to me whilst you are managing your build and placing orders yourself. Design Consultation - Looking for some quick fire updates to your home or need some suggestions or ideas instead of a full service? This is ideal for those half baked rooms, or perhaps you are selling your home and don't want to invest heavily but just need some professional guidance to make your home appeal to buyers.

I can highly recommend Rukmini. She is very professional and has a lot of knowledge. Our kitchen needed to be refreshed and modernised, and we are so pleased we went with her concept and design. The kitchen has been transformed and we love how the space has come together with new colour on walls and units, the beautiful lighting, new tiles and kitchen handles. I still can't believe the difference and grateful for all her advice and suggestions. Rukmini encouraged me to be braver with colour and I'm so glad she did! I'm inspired to make more changes in our home, and will definitely use Rukmini again.

Three rooms designed so far, all looking beautiful and a joy to be in. Rukmini challenged us with the use of colour with great effect. She has delivered the brief with perfection.

Hi Sophie, thank you for your lovely words and I'm so pleased that you are feeling happy with the designs and your beautiful home. Looking forward to working on the rest of your home :)

I thoroughly recommend Rukmini’s services. My husband and I had several one hour design consultation calls with Rukmini regarding our renovation project. We needed help with our kitchen layout and design and also our electrical plans and lighting choices. Rukmini had really good tips, advice and suggestions and we were able to make final decisions on aspects that previously we had been very unsure about. We really valued her professional opinion and expertise and I’m so glad we had the calls with her. Don’t hesitate; she will be such a valuable asset and has a wealth of knowledge which will surely help you with whatever project you have!

I was initially uncertain about how to revamp my flat. I liked Rukmini's portfolio and reached out to her for help. Her expertise and attention to detail left a lasting impression. She took the time to understand what I actually want. She devised a design blueprint and a shopping list that perfectly aligned with my vision. The end result was amazing. Rukmini transformed my flat into a space that truly represents me, exceeding my expectations. I'd recommend Rukmini to anyone seeking a seamless and extraordinary redecoration journey. She is unparalleled in her field and I'd wholeheartedly endorse her!

Thank you SO much for your fabulous review! It has been an absolute honour to work with you!

Rachel

I love interiors and I’ve always wanted to work with a Designer. I’d been following Rukmini on Instagram for a while and her hybrid package was a great fit for me to have the luxury of a design for our new kitchen and the control to implement it. Particularly as I am not London based. Rukmini listened to me and my partner and involved us both in key decisions, asking us both questions which is exactly what I wanted to make sure the new space was a blend of us both.

Rukmini recently worked on designing my living room and bedroom. She planned every single detail from the flooring and paint, furniture, and even smaller accessories like vases and cushions that really make a space feel like home. She was super attentive to all my design requests and was responsive to any feedback and questions that I had during the design process. I was blown away by the final designs. She worked really hard to understand what colors, textures and style I liked in order to come up with a design that suited my personality and aesthetic. She also took great care to understand how my partner and I use the space (e.g. we like to look out of the window while eating breakfast!) in order to plan a layout that worked really well for us. I really appreciated how, at my request, she was also able to incorporate elements of my Indian and Eastern heritage in order to really make the space feel like my home whilst still having a universal appeal. She was also considerate of my budget and provided me with several options depending on how much I was able to spend. Rukmini has excellent taste and a great eye for design and was such a pleasure to work with.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! I loved working on your designs and can't wait to see the transformation! x

Georgina Porter

Rukmini has been fantastic. I was struggling to articulate what I wanted and she worked through that with me to redesign my entire flat and I love it. She is managing the end to end process including permissions, tenders and sourcing. I could never have done this all alone - and I can’t believe how much I love the design choices. They’re perfect.

Hi Houzz readers, I have recently worked with Rukmini on a new build house which I have recently bought and have moved into. For any layperson, it is quite a daunting task to undergo interior design without a third opinion and I can comfortably say Rukmini's input and opinion was an absolute Gem. to get the design concepts her general engagement was second to none. Rukmini unpacks your views as to what is a 'turn on' and a 'turn off' in terms of design and produces something that is; manageable, attractive, provision of alternatives, within budget and is yours. I am certain to come back to Rukmini when we move into our next property. Thank You, Rukmini.

We hired Rukmini to e-design our living room. Working with Rukmini was a delight. She is a true professional and always responded to our questions promptly. She really listened to my partner and I and designed the living room of our dreams. She helped us be brave enough to use colour on the walls, and now we have a loving room which feels like an oasis. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rukmini to my friends and family.

Rukmini has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has provided us with some beautiful designs for our hallway, stairs and landing. She is a very professional and talented interior designer and is time efficient. I really feel she understood our needs and has reflected our personalities in the designs she provided. She has helped us inject some colour and optimise the light in our space and has saved us hours of time that we would otherwise have spent debating colour schemes and decor. I would absolutely recommend Rukmini to family and friends and I look forward to working with her again in future!

The ultimate luxury is being able to relax and enjoy your home which Rukmini made possible! From the consultation to the designs, Rukmini made this sweet and easy, yet very professional, not to mention the amazing taste she has. Will recommend to friends and family.
