"It’s The Gaps That Make a Home Feel Safe" — Interior Designer Shalini Misra on Negative Space, Impactful Curation and Comforting Schemes

Compilation of Shalini Misra projects and headshot.

The idea that a room's design should center around how it feels, before even how it looks, is one that interior designer Shalini Misra had championed a long time before it found its way into popular discourse. Her schemes are ones that feel instantly liveable: like you could flop down on the sofa or take a chair at the breakfast table without feeling as though you're out of place, or have ruined a perfectly styled showroom.

That's partly because Shalini's understanding of wellbeing is central to her practice, and partly because she has an eye for curation — for collecting art and artisan pieces, and displaying them together in ways that speak strongly to her clients' own personalities and interests.
