 AN EDUCATOR TURNED INTERIOR DESIGENR

With my growing interest and knowledge for design

field. The approach towards my own house has
developed tremendously.

I am more aware of my needs and necessities. Liking

my space to be more open and welcoming. With my
growing love for plants. I have developed a strong
need to share my house with more greens and
natural elements.

This landed up in developing my flavour, style and

sense. The revised definition to my design thinking, is
more contemporary. The practical need to have
NIDHI YADAV
modern amenities, balanced with natural harmony.
To strike a perfect balance between the two. From
being a peoples person to a complete introvert, I
priorities my peace, space and anything that heals.

To grow, gracefully!
