This sunken living room, inspired by old Kolkata homes, is one of my favorite designs. By lowering the floor, I created a grander sense of space with a partial double height, making it an inviting area for family gatherings. The design blends classic colonial charm with modern needs, featuring ornate wrought iron, a grand chandelier, and comfortable, elegant seating.
I believe a pooja room should be a sanctuary of peace. For this space, I drew inspiration from the grandeur of South Indian temples, using vintage pillars, custom jalli work, and a mantapa that echoes temple gopurams. It’s a celebration of tradition, crafted with intricate details to create a truly sacred heart for the home.
This bedroom is a perfect example of the calm and serenity I strive for with Japandi design. The arched door opens into a zen-like space with a custom fabric-padded bed and warm oak wood. By keeping the material palette minimal and focusing on texture and light, I created a peaceful retreat from the bustle of city life.
A kitchen should be both beautiful and highly functional. In this home, I designed a bright, open kitchen with a two-tiered breakfast counter and shaker-style cabinetry. The warm taupe and white palette, paired with finely veined marble, creates a clean, minimalist feel that is still warm and inviting.
Art is what truly makes a space personal. I commissioned a local artist to create this stunning hand-painted mural for a large wall, turning a simple landing into the soul of the home. The built-in marble seating creates a multipurpose area for family to gather, read, or simply enjoy the view.
This moody, English-style library was designed as a contemplative retreat. With its dark wood, waffle ceilings, and custom shelving for a treasured comic book collection, it’s a space made for quiet work and relaxation. It shows my passion for creating rooms with a distinct character and purpose.
The journey into a home should be memorable. For this farmhouse, I sourced a vintage wine-red door from a village in Andhra. Set against the earthy, natural landscape, it creates a striking focal point and immediately tells a story of history and character, setting the tone for the rest of the home.

About Residential Architecture & Interior Design

Belief & Philosophy

Your home is your story, and I want the design to feel deeply personal. I’m all about spaces that don’t just look nice, but actually feel like you belong there. Calm, practical, and tailored - that’s my vibe.

How I Design

  • Essential minimalism is my go-to. I focus on what truly matters to you, so your space feels uncluttered but lived-in.
  • Quiet and timeless, not flashy or trendy. I mix materials, colours, and textures for a look that lasts.
  • Homes need to work for real life - low-maintenance, functional, child-friendly. Pretty is useless if it’s not practical.

Styles I Love

You’ll see a mix in my work:

  • Modern Indian & South Indian - red oxide floors, carved wood, Chettinad touches mixed with modern lines.
  • Japandi & Wabi-Sabi - natural material interiors, earthy palettes, soft edges for a calm vibe.
  • Sometimes it’s eclectic or colonial-inspired, with vintage-inspired furniture, grand woods, and bold details.

What I Offer

From drawing board to the last cushion:

  • Full home design and renovation - whole package, start to finish.
  • Smart space planning - rethinking layouts, breaking walls, adding clever partitions.
  • Custom furniture and cabinetry - wardrobes with wallpaper, fun handles, benches you won’t find anywhere else.
  • Material and colour selection - warm woods, brass, lime-wash, colour pops.

The Details

It’s the little things. I’ll hunt for antique doors, work with local artisans, and blend your family memories into the space. Maybe it’s a saree framed as art, or a Channapatna pillar. These touches make it yours.

The Journey

Honestly, this work is slow and sometimes messy. You’ll hear me say “Please Bhaiya” a lot on site. I stick to my values, and that’s what matters most. In the end, it’s about your happiness in your new home.

My Story

Five years back, House of Ruya started with just me, big dreams, and zero business background. Now we’re eight women strong, building spaces with soul. There've been late nights, chai spills, and patti (hair ties) everywhere, but every project feels personal. Like framing a client’s amma’s (mother’s) wedding saree for their wall – that’s the kind of magic we love. Grateful for all the trust. We’ll always try to bring your dreams home.

My Work

Bespoke Architecture & Interior Design - We design homes and spaces with a mix of classical contemporary and understated luxury, featured in leading design magazines.

Minimal Indian Interiors - Our look blends neutral palettes with earthy Indian colours, Chettinad furniture, Kalamkari wall art and vintage touches.

Hands-on Creative Process - We sketch, model in 3D, and work with traditional artisans—sometimes those whose families carved Madurai temple stones.

Spaces That Feel Like You - Your home should invite conversations, not just TV-watching. We focus on individuality and details that reflect you.
