At Shalini Misra Ltd we create global multi award-winning interior design projects, specialising in luxury interiors for both residential and commercial developments.

Founded in 1996 by visionary property developer and interior designer Shalini Misra, we have developed a diverse portfolio of exceptional projects from across the globe. Our ability to work closely with our clients, incorporating their needs while creating individual, functional, effective and timeless interiors, has fostered a discerning clientele.

Our technical and creative range incorporates prime residential homes and developments, high-end offices, boutique hotels, restaurants and exhibition spaces. No matter the scale of the project, for each we craft an entirely distinct concept and design narrative aligned with our clients’ vision, ensuring that no project is ever the same.

Taking a holistic approach, our design philosophy is centred around fusing old with new, layering lighting, textures and pattern, while playing with volume. We believe that good design should have a responsibility to the world it inhabits, choosing reclaimed wood, eco-friendly paint and antique and vintage pieces where possible. Art plays a central role in our interiors. Working with leading artists and galleries from across the world, we both source and curate art collections, creating spaces imbued with individuality and creativity.
