I design studies that blend rich, historical architecture with the warmth of classic interiors, turning any room into a quiet retreat for the mind. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A glimpse into a Victorian library I designed, featuring rich dark wood paneling, a coffered ceiling, and a cozy fireplace.

In these designs, I prioritize acoustics and lighting, balancing the depth of dark wood paneling with warm, task-focused illumination. This ensures the room remains comfortable for hours of reading or work, rather than just serving as a showpiece. Creating a library or study is about balancing the intellectual with the aesthetic. When I approach these spaces, I look for ways to marry heavy architectural elements—like coffered ceilings and deep moldings—with functional storage. A well-designed library needs depth. I avoid the current trend of flat, white office spaces, preferring the weight of solid wood, such as walnut or oak finishes, which provides a sense of gravity and history. Lighting is the unsung hero of a scholarly room. I focus on layering: warm overhead pendants for general ambiance, and dedicated lamps that provide light for reading without causing glare. Whether you prefer a traditional Victorian feel with deep greens and leather armchairs, or a lighter French-inspired aesthetic, the goal remains the same: a room that invites you to slow down. I manage the technical aspects, from wall paneling dimensions to electrical layouts, ensuring your books and mementos have a home that is as beautiful as it is practical. ## About Aashi Gupta Designs I am Aashi, and I believe a workspace should inspire you as much as it supports you. I move away from the cold, empty rooms common today, choosing instead to build spaces filled with character, deep tones, and the kind of craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
