WHO WE ARE
"Our focus is you. From the first consultation until the last piece of art is hung on the wall, we're driven by your unique goals, your family's lifestyle, and your design dreams."
With a creative vision, meticulous standards, and reliable communication, we execute each detail with care, so you can love the place you call home.
At House Of Design, our process is intentionally seamless. The coordination, communication, and planning that often feel overwhelming on the client side are the parts we handle with confidence and clarity. We manage the moving pieces, keep the project aligned, and update you regularly, so you can enjoy the transformation without the stress.
Creativity is at the heart of everything we do. When a space calls for something truly special, we also design and craft custom, one-of-a-kind pieces that become heirlooms in your home. These bespoke elements are thoughtfully created to honor your story, elevate your space, and stand the test of time.
Every detail of our process is shaped by intention --- and that intention begins with the vision of our founder, Kshama.
KSHAMA'S STORY
Meet Kshama Shah
OWNER & PRINCIPAL INTERIOR DESIGNER
"Great design should elevate the way you live. When a home is designed thoughtfully, it can truly transform how you feel and interact within it. That's the power of design."
I've always loved a transformation. For more than a decade, this looked like guiding physical therapy patients through tailored rehabilitation plans. Then, after redesigning my first home, falling in love with the design process, and investing years into formal design education, interiors became the transformation I couldn't get enough of.
The two fields might feel like polar opposites, but the similarities are vast. Both require a deep understanding of human habits and wellbeing. And though the "before and after" looks different, the common thread of transformation remains: with a strategic, creative approach, I get to help my clients lead fuller, richer lives at home.
Today, with formal education from the New York Institute of Art and Design, plus continuing design education to stay at the forefront of the industry, I help busy homeowners create spaces that reflect their biggest ambitions and nurture their most precious moments. With a keen eye for blending modernity and timelessness, I weave in texture, color, and architectural details to create spaces that are both stylish and functional.
When I'm not sourcing the perfect vintage rug, you can find me kayaking, painting, or trying new recipes — all while soaking up time with my husband Jay.
OUR VALUES
What we stand for
01
TRUST
We're committed to overdelivering and exceeding your expectations until the final detail is in place. Integrity is key in every project. With detailed proposals, a clear scope, and open communication throughout, we ensure you're kept informed at every stage. We treat your time, your dollars, and your home like we'd treat our own.
03
TEAMWORK
Our priority is that you feel seen and heard throughout the process, and that the end result is absolutely you. From our expert architects and contractors to you — our client — every voice matters. We welcome ideas and feedback, and are committed to problem solving together to discover the most exciting solutions for your home.
02
CREATIVITY
Every space tells its own story and should be as one-of-a-kind as you are. That's why our designs aren't about following trends — they're about creating something entirely unique. With your lifestyle as our guide, we layer finishes, textures, and colors to craft environments that feel tailored, fresh, and deeply personal.
04
COMFORT
A home should feel as good as it looks. That's why every detail — from layout to lighting to furnishings — is curated to enhance your home's function, flow, and comfort. Layering lush textiles, soothing color palettes, and rich textures, we cultivate a space that's inviting, warm, and full of life.
Your home is waiting to become what it's meant to be.
