Purvi Padia is a New York-based interior designer whose personal style can be seen on all her creations. “I love casual-chic with modern and vintage accents,” she tells us. “I don’t wear a ton of color, but I am a huge fan of texture—leather, suede, lace, silk and fur.”
Living in such a vibrant city with her two children (Rehan, 5, and Reven, 1), Padia appreciates all the culturally diverse opportunities that the city offers.” I love that my kids are getting to experience such a variety of cultures at a young age,” she says. “The idea that my son is learning Chinese in school at the age of five is so inspiring!”
“Can you really create a kid-friendly environment at home without skimping on style? Interior designer Purvi Padia says yes — as long as you master some tricks of the trade.

“Shedding their ignoble status, wagon wheels are turning up as decor and even art in fashionable interiors of all styles”
“This primitive wagon wheel lacks the typical spokes and rim, and as a result it takes on a completely new personality in this Asian-style space. Its circle-within-a-circle design whispers of serenity and flow; its placement on a stand elevates it to art status.”
“New York-based interior designer Purvi Padia founded her design firm on the idea that luxury and style are available to everyone, and can vary depending on the project or person. Thinking of these concepts as creative works of art, she merges modern and traditional concepts and designs to create beautiful interiors for her clients.
Many of Purvi’s clients are based in New York, and her designs reflect the need for serenity amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Presenting interiors that are a reflection of the city, yet simultaneously a refuge from its more overwhelming tendencies, Purvi creates homes that are balanced, serene, and positively gorgeous.”
“This modern home for three is clean and modern but decidedly warm. When designer Purvi Padia found the space, located in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan, it was nearly blank and finished with just the bare essentials. By incorporating textures on every wall and using a rich, neutral color palette, Padia created a home that’s distinctly modern and full of depth and visual interest.”
