HOMES BY
SHAHINA
DESIGNER'S NOTE
"I think the most beautiful homes aren't defined by trends. They're shaped by the stories of the people who live within them."
Every home tells a story.
Not through perfection or passing trends, but through the people who inhabit them, the objects they collect and the memories woven into its walls.
I've always believed that the most compelling interiors are those that feel deeply personal, spaces that evolve over time and reflect a life well lived. My own perspective is shaped by a blend of influences.
Growing up within an Indian heritage, I developed an early appreciation for colour, craftsmanship and intricate pattern. Rich textiles, layered materials and expressive palettes taught me that colour isn't simply decorative, it has the power to evoke emotion, create atmosphere and transform the way we experience a space.
Alongside these influences, I'm continually drawn to the quiet elegance of Parisian Interiors and the enduring character of timeless design, I love the dialogue between old and new, where contemporary pieces sit effortlessly alongside timeworn treasures, creating homes with depth, personality and soul.

Colour remains at the heart of everything I do.
Whether it's a light filled room in soft neutrals or an intimate space wrapped in deep, dramatic tones. I believe the right palette has the ability to shape how a room feels as much as how it looks. Working with natural light, texture and contrast allows me to create interiors that change beautifully throughout the day, revealing new moods with every shift in light.
Inspiration rarely comes from interiors alone.
I find it fashion, literature, architecture, theatre and the decorative arts. Creative disciplines that continually remind me that the most memorable spaces are those that tell a story. These influences shape my work as both an interior designer and an editorial writer, encouraging me to approach every project with curiosity, creativity and a considered eye for detail.
ABOUT
For me, designing a home has never been about following a formula. It's about discovering what makes each client unique and creating spaces that reflect their story with honesty, warmth and intention.
Because the most beautiful interiors aren't simply designed.
They're collected, layered and lived in.
