I wish I could give Sheeja more than five stars! She was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire bathroom remodel that we just completed. She understood what I liked and didn’t like very quickly and came up with a beautiful design. She helped me with all the many choices of tile and materials and did all the purchasing. She put me in touch with the cabinet makers, stone crafter and general contractor all of whom did great work. Then she was there at every step during the construction when questions arose. As a novice remodeler I had no knowledge about the process and Sheeja guided me through it so expertly that it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Hiring her was the smartest money I could have spent on the project. And I just love my new bathroom! More...

This review's been long overdue, I would say about 6 months as we completed our project in February. I guess we were so busy enjoying our lovely home that Raashi Design helped create!

We moved into our house in 2013 and since then had always wanted to update it - the color, furniture, artwork, drapery, the whole 9. But, given we're both working parents with a young child we never really found the time - to take our vision and really piece everything together. It does take a lot of time. That's when we decided to approach a few designers and talk to them about their process, review their past work and see if we could get comfortable having a professional 'take it over'.

We chose Raashi design (best decision ever) as we liked the approach. Sheeja took a lot of time understanding our needs, taste palette, budget and through iterations came up with the design that we fell in love with.

At that point, we had the option of taking the design (and pay just for consulting services - in which case execution is on us) or go full service. I am SO glad that we chose full-service. The amount of effort that goes into coordinating the various service providers, purchasing, inspecting, etc. is enormous. As an example, we have natural grass wallpaper in our entrance and that seemingly simple undertaking required close coordination between the person who smoothened the wall, the painter, the carpenter for the trim and the person applying the grass wallpaper! That's just one example, there are many more where I felt the full-service approach is the best route to go unless of course, you had ample time in your hands. This approach let us get involved in the fun parts of the project while leaving the mundane details in the hands of the expert. Also, another important aspect is she brings in the professionals from her network - people she has dealt with in the past and because these professionals rely on continued business from Raashi, they take the extra effort to ensure a high level of quality in their jobs.

Our project lasted for about 3-4 months and every step of the way Sheeja was a thorough professional and very pleasurable to work with. We love our space and couldn't have been happier! Thank you Sheeja & Raashi Design.

We were looking for someone to decorate our family room for lack of time and ideas and after interviewing a few designers we are so glad we settled on Raashi Designs. Sheeja was such a pleasure to work with and clearly understood all out design wishes and inspirations.
Over the course of our many meetings, things became so clear and we could not wait to see the final room. And yes we were and are very happy with each and every piece of the project. It's our favorite room of the house. We have received so many compliments on the art and furniture choices. We are so glad we gained a friend too in the process.
Looking back and looking at each of the units , i wouldn't change anything !!

As a photographer, I have had the opportunity to work with many designers over the years. And in that time I have experienced many different styles of designers and their methods of achieving the look they are after. Sheeja stands head and shoulders above many of the designers out there, her vision and ability to express creatively those ideas makes her very easy to collaborate with, thus in turn making the entire process enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of design help!! More...

We hired Sheeja of Raashi Design to help us with our new home while under construction. During the construction phase, Sheeja guided us through the selection of appropriate architectural options the builder was providing. She helped us with the lighting plan of the house, selection of flooring, bathroom tiles, cabinets & accessories, counter top, back splash, overall style & color scheme.
Later, she designed and furnished our main living spaces and provided window treatments for the entire home. As we were moving from a different state, we wanted to get the main areas done, right after moving in, and Sheeja worked with us to accomplish that. Sheeja is very responsive and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend Sheeja and Raashi Design to friends and acquaintances who want to work with a great designer. "

We hired Sheeja with Raashi Design to design our dream kitchen. She designed our layout taking out the wall between our kitchen and dining/living room to make it an open concept. She also opened up the room by moving the french doors to create more kitchen space. The large island gives us extra work surfaces and storage. It also provides perfect seating for our family.
Sheeja was very easy to work with and was extremely creative. As you can image there are thousands of decisions to make and she helped us decide the color scheme and style based on our lifestyle. We are not completely finished with our remodel (will definitely post photos when it is complete) but it looks amazing. A complete transformation!!

I worked with Sheeja on a kitchen remodel and enjoyed her attention to detail immensely.

When we came up against a challenge, she was always quick to respond and help work through the solution.

I hired Sheeja to help me renovate my new office. As a graphic designer, I have a pretty good idea of what I want. When I moved in, I had amazing plans for how I wanted to decorate my office but reality set in when all my ideas were quoted in the thousands of dollars. I met with Sheeja to help me customize my office to suit our style in a realistic budget that I could manage.

Sheeja's first recommendation was to reorganize the space to improve the flow of traffic and overall atmosphere of the office. She designed several layout options, which not only made the office more welcoming, it made me more accessible to my team and it was more efficient, creating more space for another desk and a couch (I've been dreaming about having a couch in my office for years!).

An awkwardly shaped office limits us in space, as well as limited electrical outlets on the wall. Sheeja came up with a way to maximize the space for a mini kitchenette and conference area while still having an open conference area where we can meet with clients. She also has the connections to recommend trusted service partners for electrical, construction or handyman work when it is required to fulfill a project.

I highly recommend Sheeja; she has an amazing eye for detail and helps organize your space in ways you didn't think were possible.

Delighted to write a note on wonderful project done by Raashi Design at our place.

We moved in to a new place, we had to setup living and dining areas. Instead of shopping furnitures ourselves, we decided to have a designer do it.

We wanted someone to come in, understand our interests, taste and the layout before proposing a solution. After talking with couple of designers, we decided to go with Raashi Design mainly because they came in with an open mind, listened to our desires, educated us on various design aspects, styles, etc. Sheeja is very knowledgeable, respectful of our views and committed to designing a layout that works for us.

We wanted more of a transitional design, neither too classic nor modern. Sheeja spent quality time in understanding our tastes in terms of furniture types, colors, overall ambience, etc. And she factored these into her design excellently and proposed a plan. With very little iteration, the design was executed within a span of 7 to 8 weeks.

We are very excited and extremely happy to see the final state of our living and dining rooms - beautifully done, looking elegant.

We would highly recommend Sheeja (Raashi Design) for any interior projects.

We hired Sheeja through referral, and our project was under an aggressive timeline (a little more than 2 weeks). Sheeja did an amazing job to dress up our property so that it can be place on the market. She provided a tons of decors and furniture to furnish our property. Upon time for the actual staging, she worked with her team to strategically stage the house so that it can bring out the best feature of each room. Once she completed the work, our property was immediately transformed into stunning model home equivalent. Her design is unique and appealing to the general audience and the best part is the design fits perfectly with our existing setup.

I strongly recommend Sheeja's service for staging and design.

We wanted to have our master bedroom designed by Sheeja since we have worked with her before and had a very good experience. We discussed our must-haves with her and left the rest to her. She came up with an excellent design which we loved right away. The jewelery cabinet she designed turned out just perfect for my needs and iam so happy to be able to have my jewelery so easily accessible and organized -every woman's dream come true! The cabinet also has other functional storage and also aesthetic beauty with a painting and curios to complete the look. The TV cabinet also turned out just perfect for our needs with extra storage for paperwork as well as for handbags and other items which were cluttering our master walkin closet. Apart from the cabinetry Sheeja designed the bedroom with a very pretty shimmery wallpaper and a cozy reading corner as well as beautiful drapery, and the entire bedroom came together just perfectly. The paint color and crown molding adds a luxurious feel to the bedroom. Every piece of furniture that she recommended is exquisite and tasteful. The wall art and decor complete the whole look. The entire project took a couple of months. As with our previous times working with Sheeja, this project turned out to be as convenient and efficient as before and we are thrilled with the results!

We engaged Raashi Design to design our :
A) Dining room design including designing a Bar&Crockery unit as well as the window and sliding door coverings.
B) Window coverings for our Living room which has 7 windows.

The work done by Raashi design was truly exceptional ! We went through several iterations of the bar & Crockery unit models and finally settled on one. Through the whole process Sheeja Nair from Raashi worked with us patiently providing us appropriate inputs while letting us make the decision. Sheeja's inputs/suggestions in terms of color choices/coordination, lighting considerations, material, overall room theme were invaluable in the outcome of the final product - a beautiful & well designed dining room ! We could not be more happier with the way the dining room turned out ! We recently had a dinner party at our place and all the guests were in awe of our new dining room look ! We gladly took all the accolades while the real credit should go to Raashi design!!!
The window coverings in the living room was also a tremendous success story ! We are so happy with the window coverings and the way it transformed our living room. My wife & I take every chance to spend our time in the living room and enjoy the overall look of the room. We were very impressed with the way that Sheeja from Raashi design worked with us that we extended the services at an additional cost to include the material procurement as well as contractor identification for the bar/crockery unit & window coverings. Every dollar was well spent and worth it - we are absolutely thrilled with the outcome and will gladly and 100% recommend Raashi Design to others.
There are many interior designers out there - what sets Raashi Design apart is their professional yet friendly approach, their ability to quickly understand their clients needs, suggest fresh/new ideas that truly transforms a room/house while meeting the clients budget requirements, ability to recommend/provide inputs and letting the client make the decision Vs imposing a decision. Lastly and most importantly, Raashi design truly is fully vested in the clients success and wants to make every project a masterpiece that meets the clients needs.
