Welcome - I’m Madhavi.

As a young girl, I would sit and watch hours of HGTV with my grandmother. Shows like “Surprise by Design” revealed to me the power of good design. Whether it was a single room or full house transformation, the end result was always the same; pure joy. I knew then — I wanted to dedicate myself to design.

Where Culture Meets Comfort

As an Indian woman who immigrated to California when I was 8 years old, I have spent my entire life blending these two cultures together.

In a way, the same can be said of my style. I like to bring together aspects of California, Organic, and Modern aesthetics, adding layers of texture, color, and pattern that remind me of my heritage. Whether it be with block printed pillows or with hand-thrown pottery, I am always searching for the personal touch that brings life to a space.

NILAYA

I believe home is an extension and reflection of self; a curation of furniture, lighting, objects, and art we are passionate about, shared with the people we love.

Thank you for joining me on my journey of designing and curating our new home. I hope you feel welcome and inspired to explore design in your own space.
