In her design sensibility, Janavi positions herself squarely at the intersection of contemporary and classic. When it comes to her clients, however, the interior stylist is entirely committed to one direction, which involves serving their needs.

"Defining your personal space can feel overwhelming and it's difficult to visualise different elements coming together. That's where our team of stylists comes into play. From creating mood boards and selecting colour schemes, to curating the furnishings and home accessories, we bring clean design and elegance to a space while ensuring it aligns with our clients' personalities and lifestyles," she says.

A graduate from King's College, London, Janavi worked as a merchandiser and buyer for Reliance Brands, where she dealt with global giants such as BCBG, Max Azria, Kate Spade and Furla, among others. She discovered her passion for interiors and home decor when she was redecorating her home, which led her to create Walls & Things. It started as a platform on Instagram, gradually evolving into a professional endeavour based out of Mumbai.

Merging her passion for fashion with her expertise in merchandising and visual presentation, Janavi has built her design philosophy around sharing her taste.

From a merchandiser and buyer to designing spaces, how would you describe your journey?

In the realm of interior styling, skills like trend research, attention to detail, budget management and understanding customer preferences can be highly advantageous, all of which I honed during my time at Reliance Brands, where I curated collections.
