When the foyer turns into a dining room! Interior Design by @rajirmdesign 📷by @rikkisnyder This table does expand with additions to seat up to eight if needed and yes, there's enough space for it here. However, the clients need it only on special occasions.
Lights, camera, action! /
I love this shot taken by @rikkisnyder ! I remember thinking of #danflavin when we composed this photograph as I saw the light from the window not only filling the nook but walking through the lines of the bulkhead on the ceiling while the rest of the walls lightly faded making it almost like a light installation! And I forgot all about my design, my rugs and the furnishings there despite how colorful and attention grabbing they are!! @rajirmdesign #rajirmdesign #rajirmrugs #lucienneolivieri #interiordesign #light #installation
A favorite corner /
Some old and some new with a George's Braque sneaking in a little into the photo but, altogether a favorite sculptural corner! #vignette @rajirmdesign #rajirmdesign #myphoto #rajishome #georgesbraque #JamesSalaiz #gaetanopesce
Light & Shadow /
This French wire sculpture I've had for years now left the most beautiful shadow of the boy and girl kissing in Champs Élysées yesterday afternoon. So glad I captured this moment as the light only lasted for a second but was such a surprise and felt so good to see this!! #homesweethome #rajishome #rajirmdesign @rajirmdesign #lightandshadow #sculpture
A colorful bespoke rug /
One of my favorite projects - the clients love color and we made this bespoke rug for them from my own collection. It's now their favorite hangout space and since they wanted to keep the old stone fireplace, we worked around it and it became a perfect spot for them to read by the fire! @rajirmdesign #rajirmdesign #rajirmrugs #rugs #color 📷 @rikkisnyder
The Oonjal /
One of my favorite moments at our daughter's three-day wedding @thetamarindtree_blr in the most traditional attire for married women - The Oonjal - with all my favorite women going around the young couple! #ShrutiKalyanam #rajirmdesign @rajirmdesign #indianwedding #wedding #saris #kanjeevaram
In The New York Times /
I'm so thrilled that sweet Marianne Rohrlich wrote this fabulous article in the New York Times on various traditional bridal dresses and included my darling daughter's photo and quote in it!! This is way too cool!! Thank you Marianne!! I should add wedding coordinator and bridal stylist to my career portfolio now!! 😂😂 📷 by @creativechisel #indianbride #weddingdress #indianwedding #hinduwedding

Light /
A corner of my kitchen this afternoon. Reminds me exactly why we love this home - the light! The incredible light we get in this home is like no other. Light dances in this home, highlighting and creating unintended still life and vignettes all on it's own. Such a joy to behold! #blessed #rajirmdesign @rajirmdesign #stilllife #basil #apples #bronze
Missing /
As I rest in my bedroom, oddly enough the thing right now I miss the most is sitting in our living room and doing our "hygge"! #homesweethome #rajishome @rajirmdesign #rajirmdesign #rajirmmurals #rajirmrugs 📷 by @rikkisnyder
Withering blooms /
They are starting to wither but look how beautiful the arrangement still is??!! #flowers #bloom #stilllife #alheld
