testimonials
“Pearl looked into all possible (and impossible) details of our home, spending time in understanding the family dynamics and requirements of space and traffic flow. Using a monochromatic palette, she played with materials and textures to orchestrate an elegant understated drama. She painstakingly created bespoke table bases and pedestals that are truly one of a kind. Continuous and lengthy site visits with kind words of encouragement to push the team and indefatigable visits to marble suppliers, imported furniture stores and lighting showrooms…many hardworking hours later the home was delivered as promised in time for the Diwali puja. The home had an expansive sea view which was heroed throughout the design process, accentuating the line of sight from wherever one was, to the vision beyond.”
“What makes your home get that extra edge of satisfaction is the relationship the designer builds with you. Being aligned is just the beginning. What makes the end result a ‘wow‘ is when the designer listens to you, reflects on you and manages to extract your ideas and re-present them to you skillfully and aesthetically. Pearl is that kind of designer – hugely creative, practical and a perfectionist without a dissonant note.”
“Pearl was amazing to work with she takes all that the client wants to heart, is very responsive to changes and design. Time was an important factor and she did not miss any deadlines in spite of the fact that we live in the US. If any changes were requested they would be made in a day or two and sent along with new pricing to us.”
“It is said that ‘design is intelligence made visible’. Pearl’s design approach reflects this thought admirably. Clean lines, harmonious colours, subtle style mixers deliver uncluttered, breathing, living spaces.”
“Seldom do you come across designers who are so well versed with creating the full classical home interior that I have always dreamed of. We were clear that we wanted the feeling of grandiosity of an English Villa. Pearl sourced all the furniture, recreated all the architectural elements and elaborately finished all the curtains and soft finishes. Her knowledge and skills perfectly recreated our dreams!”
“Our family of architects and designers all had very definite views! Pearl was able to diplomatically blend and create spaces for us that have met with our every expectation. She adapted and accepted areas we did not wish to rip apart but recreated the old with a contemporary twist that has kept us happily married! Her interiors are pleasing and practical.”
