OUR STORY
Independent by Design.
Integrated by Strategy.
Founded by Nimisha Rastogi, a classically trained designer from KLC School of Design, Chelsea, with academic roots in Information Technology, Science, and an MBA in Investor Relations and International Marketing from the University of Northampton, UK β Sumi Designs bridges the gap between artistic vision and strategic execution.
We are spatial storytellers, curators of culture, and partners in purpose. Our designs reflect not just the function of a space, but the aspirations of those who inhabit it.
βWe don't just design spaces β we craft immersive experiences. Every detail is intentional, every element tells a story. Our work is about translating personalities, cultures, and aspirations into spatial poetry."

Our Mission
At Sumi Designs, our mission is to create spaces that evoke feeling, support function, and reflect the people who inhabit them. We believe that interior design is not simply the art of arrangement β it is the architecture of emotion, behaviour, and beauty. Each space we shape is a seamless extension of our clientβs vision, values, and daily rituals. Through precision, proportion, and poetic layering, we bring meaning to materials and form to feeling. Every decision β from spatial flow to surface texture β is intentional, ensuring the result is not only sublime, but perfectly aligned with how our clients choose to live.
Vision Statement
We envision a future where interior design becomes a medium for legacy β where the spaces we create today continue to inspire, support, and endure for years to come. At Sumi Designs, our vision is to be the interior design studio of choice for those who seek personalised elegance and timeless expression. We design for permanence β creating spaces that transcend trend, celebrate individuality, and honour the architectural bones that hold them. By merging cultural sensitivity, technical mastery, and a deep respect for context, we aspire to leave behind a portfolio of spaces that are not only lived in β but deeply loved.
THE SUMI SIGNATURE APPROACH
WE DON'T JUST DESIGN SPACES β WE TRANSLATE IDENTITY INTO IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENTS.
OUR PROCESS IS ROOTED IN EMPATHY, CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND CREATIVE PRECISION.
Soul-First Discovery
We begin with deep listening β to your story, your space, your aspirations. This phase is about uncovering the emotional blueprint before any design begins.
Narrative-Driven Concepts
Every design is anchored in a concept that reflects your personality, heritage, and lifestyle. We blend global aesthetics with cultural nuances.

From artisanal finishes to custom furniture, every detail is intentional. Our obsession with craftsmanship ensures your space is one-of-one.
