Interior Design Studio · Mumbai
Spaces designed around how you actually live.
Studio Kadam designs homes and offices that balance how a space looks with how it is actually used - from the first concept to the last light fixture.
Bandra West apartment · living room, completed 2024
Selected work
Six projects, six different briefs.
3BHK · Bandra West
Kalina House
A charcoal bedroom wing that stays calm at 11pm and workable at 7am.
2BHK · Khar West
Carter Road Residence
Cream, bouclé and two round mirrors, placed to carry west light deeper into the room.
3BHK · Matunga East
Matunga Family Home
Deep green joinery absorbs four generations of storage; the yellow chair is the only thing allowed to shout.
4BHK · Powai
Powai Lakeview
Timber and rust warm up a large open plan that had nowhere for a family to actually sit.
Boutique Office · Andheri East
Studio Nine
Black steel glazing gives an eleven-person studio four meeting rooms without losing the daylight.
1BHK Rental · Worli
Worli Rental Reset
A gallery wall and three movable pieces - nothing drilled that a landlord would notice.
Process
How a project comes together
Four stages, and you see a full design before any material is ordered.
01
Consultation
One visit
We walk the space, talk through how you use it, and agree a budget range before anything is drawn.
02
Concept & Moodboard
1–2 weeks
Direction, palette and reference imagery - enough to know whether we are reading you correctly.
03
Design & Material Selection
3–5 weeks
Layouts, joinery drawings and material samples you can hold, costed line by line.
04
Execution & Styling
8–16 weeks
We run the contractors and vendors, then style the space before handover.

About
About Aarti Kadam
Aarti trained in interior design at Sir J. J. School of Art and spent six years with a Mumbai architecture practice before starting the studio in 2016.
She works on eight to ten projects a year, deliberately - every drawing that leaves this studio has been through her hands.
Her one rule: a room should be planned around the hour you use it most, not the photograph you take of it once.
- Practising since 2010
- 40+ completed projects
- Sir J. J. School of Art
