New York-based interior designer Tina Ramchandani creates spaces that invite owners to actually ‘live’ in them. For her, it’s about crafting residences where special moments take shape, and the focus is on the inhabitants and the things that matter to them. There’s nothing superficial; just a clear idea to design spaces that emanate warmth and homeliness. She calls it Soulful MinimalismTM, a style that urges you to pause and take a breather, in a place that you can truly call home.
Modern, clean and unreservedly relaxed, the interiors that Tina designs have a well-managed balance - between aesthetics and functionality, light and dark, neutral and colourful. Her process is intriguing, as is usually the case with the simplest looking spaces and their interesting back-stories.
“I generally prefer a clean, bright and airy palette as it sets the stage for furniture, art, and accessories to really shine. Minimalism is expressed in rooms that are layered, but not over-decorated, with thoughtfully selected accessories that never look cluttered. Playing with juxtaposition and balancing color and light are some of the deeper elements within the design process. The furniture is properly scaled, which permits the interiors to feel breathable and allows light to flow freely through space,” explains the founder of Tina Ramchandani Creative (TRC).
Born in Philadelphia and raised in New Jersey, Tina never really restricted herself to one ambition but was determined to look hard enough for an opportunity to tread down an unconventional career path. She considered a lot of options that she thought would appeal to her, but it wasn’t until she attended a wedding in Mumbai that design presented itself as a serious career contender.
