I’m excited this week to be sharing my conversation with NY based interior designer Tina Ramchandani. She often describes her portfolio of work as Soulful Minimalism, and I could not agree more. Tina’s work is filled with upscale interiors that show a keen eye for selecting just the right materials, and adding those finishing touches for a sophisticated look. Plus, you can tell that finding just the right piece of artwork is paramount in her design process. So I was happy that Tina could fit me into her busy schedule to talk all about her approach to interior design, and also learn more about her furry interior design assistant.
At Tina Ramchandani Creative (TRC), her team designs warm, modern interiors that fully capture their clients’ polished lifestyles. Tina’s passion -- Soulful Minimalism® -- allows her clients to experience life surrounded by the things that matter, so they can focus on the people that matter. Tina’s work has been nationally recognized by publications including Elle Décor, The Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, Cottages & Gardens, Lonny, Gotham, and Cover. She was most recently named a “2018 Next Wave” designer by House Beautiful.
This week’s Interior Design Game: Predictions for 2021. I picked Tina’s brain on what trend in interior design I have noticed picking up steam, and may be all the rage in 2021. I also wanted to get her thoughts on what’s hot for the New Year. This week’s mood board is all about what Tina loves for 2021 predictions, and some highlights from our conversation.
