About — Nivaas

Ananya RaoFounder & Creative Director

I started Nivaas because too many beautiful homes seemed designed for photographs rather than people. We ask different questions: Where does the morning begin? Who gathers in the kitchen? What should disappear from view? What deserves to be remembered? Those answers shape the plan, the materials and every detail that follows.

Experience: 14 years in residential interior design
Known for: Warm minimalism, intelligent planning and deeply personal homes
Speciality: Interior architecture, renovation and material-led design

Listen Before We Design

Your routines, priorities and constraints are the foundation of the brief. We do not impose a signature look before understanding the life the home must support.

Beauty Must Work

Elegant spaces should also store well, circulate naturally, age gracefully and make ordinary days easier. Function is not a compromise; it is part of the beauty.

Materials With Integrity

We favour honest, tactile materials and thoughtful combinations over decorative excess. Every finish is chosen for how it looks, feels, performs and matures.
