POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Disha Bhavsar (@dishabhavsar) and Shivani Ajmera (@shivani_ajmera) founded Quirk Studio (@quirkstudio) around a shared approach to design that balances function with a classic aesthetic. Working across homes, hospitality, retail, and commercial spaces, the duo draws on nature and the character of each setting to guide their choices. In ‘A Fresh Take’ segment this month, they discuss layouts, lighting, furniture, and the finishing touches to create the perfect kitchen-dining space.

“For this family of four, the kitchen island is where the day naturally gathers momentum. Breakfast can happen while someone else is making co ee, a quick meal needs little ceremony, and conversation can continue while dinner is being prepared. The island gives all of this a dedicated place, while the formal dining area steps in for longer meals and the garden offers another setting when the occasion suits,” share Disha and Shivani.

A storybook-inspired nursery that’s beautiful today and timeless for years to come. 🌿✨

In this episode of Get the Look by DesignersDome, we decode a beautiful nursery by @quirkstudio where thoughtful interior design meets functionality.

From the forest-inspired watercolour mural and muted earthy palette to child-friendly furniture, a cosy reading nook and natural textures, every detail is designed to create a calming space that grows with the child.

The design lesson? Don’t design a child’s room just for today. Choose timeless finishes, layer in playful details, and create a space that evolves beautifully as they grow. 🤍

Follow @designersdome for more design inspiration, interior design ideas and Get the Look episodes that help you recreate beautiful spaces.

What makes a house feel distinctly personal? It could be a zany sofa, a sculpture you keep coming back to, or simply the energy a room has when you enter it.

Good interiors make space for personality. They aren’t just about visual appeal and functionality, but also make a statement about who you are.

These Indian interior studios know how to transform a house into a home, each through their own lens.

Elated to have been a part of this beautiful project! A beautifully layered home with a soul!

• @quirkstudio /Project After-Hours/ Dining, overlooking the Den 🖤
Quirk Studio at Home.

There’s something about a dining space that makes a home feel like a home. Here, the dining room looks into the den, so the spaces feel connected rather than defined by walls.

The palette stays deliberately quiet: linen softening the light, warm wood grounding the room, stone adding depth, and aged brass catching the light in just the right way. Nothing too polished. Nothing trying too hard.
Just materials with character, chosen to grow richer with time and a space that feels better the longer you live in it.

This home wasn’t designed to impress. It was designed to exhale.

Let the pattern do the talking. 🤎✨

Bold diamonds, rich navy, and warm rust tones—this cotton dhurrie brings character to every corner. Cream accents and fringed edges complete a look that feels earthy, artistic, and effortlessly boho.

Style it with natural wood and soft neutrals, then let those geometric details shine. 🌿

//There are homes that are designed around a view, and then there are homes in which the view becomes an inseparable part of the architecture. This home belongs to the latter. Perched against the expansive Arabian Sea in Mumbai, the duplex is defined by an uninterrupted ocean panorama that stretches from one end of the residence to the other. It is this extraordinary context that establishes the central premise of the design.

Rather than attempting to compete with the spectacle beyond its windows, Quirk Studio approaches the interior as a composed backdrop to the horizon. The architecture remains quiet, allowing light, material and form to create an atmosphere that echoes the inherent calm of the sea. The result is an interior that feels assured without being assertive, luxurious without excess, and deeply personal without losing its sense of visual restraint.
.
.
The spatial experience begins at the central foyer, where a sculptural curved staircase immediately establishes the architectural character of the home. Its sweeping geometry introduces a sense of movement while creating a graceful connection between the two levels.
.
.
The language of the staircase is echoed beneath it through an intricate marble inlay, whose gentle curves continue the sense of fluidity across the floor. White marble forms the foundation of the foyer, its subtle patterning introducing rhythm without interrupting the serenity of the space.
Art occupies an equally important position here. A carefully selected artwork anchors the entrance, immediately signalling that the collection is not simply decorative but integral to the identity of the residence. From the moment of arrival, the home establishes a dialogue between architecture, art and the personal stories that inhabit it.
Check it out!!

THE PRACTICE | Shivani Ajmera + Disha Bhavsar, Quirk Studio

Thirteen years, countless projects, plenty of disagreements — and, according to Disha, one rager and one quiet sulker.

This edition of The Practice lands as @quirkstudio turns 13.

@shivani_ajmera and @dishabhavsar started @quirkstudio after a late-night conversation in a Delhi hotel lobby — essentially asking each other why they weren’t doing what they actually wanted to do. There was, in their words, “no plan.”

Thirteen years later, there is definitely a plan.

We get into how Quirk actually works: the client questionnaires, a fiercely collaborative studio where “the best idea wins”, their much-loved black file that tracks every project detail, and Monday mornings when meetings are banned and the team goes into what they call “combat mode.”

And then there’s the design itself.

No over-designing. No creating a statement simply for the sake of one. Instead, they think about how a home will actually be used — the first cup of coffee, opening the bar when friends come over, coming home after a long day.

As they put it:

“We start with how it’s supposed to feel and not how it’s supposed to look.”

Happy 13th to Quirk Studio — and to the partnership behind it.

This is The Practice.
