I design these spaces to be quiet escapes, woven together with emotion, soft textures, and the stories you hold dear. ## Photos and videos - ![This bedroom in a Dhaka residence is a perfect example of a cultured, cozy retreat.

My focus is on layering, mixing vintage finds with custom-made furniture, adding heavy linen drapes, and choosing lighting that softens the mood. If you want a space that feels like a quiet exhale at the end of the day, we should talk about how to make it yours. A bedroom should never be just a room with a bed. It is a sanctuary where you shed the noise of the day and return to yourself. In my practice, I move away from the clinical aesthetic and toward rooms that have a pulse. This means creating spaces that feel lived in, warm, and deeply personal. When I design a bedroom, I look for a focal point, often a four-poster bed that anchors the room. From there, I build outward. We might use patterned cement tiles for the floor to bring in character, or lime plaster on the walls for a tactile finish that changes with the light. Fabrics are everything. I layer heavy linen or velvet drapes against crisp cotton bedspreads, often using materials from sources like Cottons & Satins to ensure the room feels grounded and authentic. Lighting is the final, most crucial layer. I replace standard builder fixtures with statement chandeliers or vintage wall sconces, often from The Hesperus Store, to create a mood that is relaxed and intimate. Every project starts with a conversation. I listen to your stories and the items you already cherish, whether it is an heirloom chest or a specific color palette that makes you feel at peace. Together, we blend these memories with fresh, comfortable layers to make a bedroom that is uniquely yours. ## About Richa Bahl I design spaces that hold your memories, not just pretty rooms for display. My goal is to make every bedroom a quiet escape that feels deeply personal, layering textures and light until the room breathes with your own rhythm.
