About / Design Xplore

Interior Designing is not just about making a space look beautiful, but also about making the best possible use of the available space. At Design Xplore, we firmly believe in the design philosophy of “Place for everything, and everything in its place”. We believe that a well-designed space should not only be visually stunning but also highly functional and organized. Our approach involves meticulous attention to detail, thoughtful spatial planning, and a deep understanding of our clients' needs. We strive to create environments where clutter is minimized, and every item has its designated space. By carefully considering the lifestyle and habits of the inhabitants, we aim to design interiors that promote a sense of order and tranquillity. We aim to redefine the meaning of designing spaces; the design is for life, and each of our designs is inspired by the personality or perspective of the client. A multidisciplinary interior design and architectural studio, we specialize in premium residential designing, commercial interiors, and restaurant interiors.

The Company



Design Xplore was set up in April 2005 to create homes that not only look beautiful but are also functional, efficient, and tailored to the needs of our diverse client base. We believe that good design should add value to people's lives by making their daily routines easier and more enjoyable to the senses.

Our focus on organization and efficiency allows us to optimize the use of space, making it easier for individuals to navigate and enjoy their surroundings. Through the thoughtful integration of storage solutions, clever furniture arrangements, and strategic layout designs, we seek to enhance the usability and practicality of every space. Our goal is to craft interiors that not only look beautiful but also contribute to a sense of harmony and well-being. We believe that when everything is in its rightful place, it not only elevates the aesthetics of the space but also enhances the overall quality of life for those who inhabit it

Soniya Jandwani Baveja

Founder & Chief Designer

Soniya Jandwani Baveja is the founder of Design Xplore. She brings more than 30-years of experience, in the design industry which reverberates clearly in her work. It is supported by Soniya’s professional training in interior design, which started in the year 1991, with a 3-year course in Interior Design and Decoration followed by various courses in furniture, furnishing and wood treatments from some prestigious institutes, over the years. Though the courses taught her about the underlying principles, the aesthetics that are reflected in her work are the result of the initial exposure and the tutelage of some of the exceptionally brilliant interior designers for almost 11 years. In 2005, she had her last corporate stint as a commercial space designer, and that was the year when the transition happened for her to be an independent interior designer.

Soniyaa's passion for trekking the Greater Himalayas mirrors her design journey. Both involve navigating challenging terrains, discovering hidden gems, and appreciating natural beauty. The rugged landscapes inspire her creativity, blending nature's raw elegance with artistic vision to craft spaces that reflect the mountains' serenity and grandeur.

Stress Buster

Diplo

Diplo, a dark brown Cocker Spaniel, has been the beloved stress buster in our office. Over the years, his playful presence and gentle nature have brought joy and relaxation to everyone. Known for his discerning eye, Diplo was the first to greet and "interview" new hires, offering a wag of approval for each appointment. Now enjoying a well-deserved semi-retirement, Diplo works from home but remains available on request. His legacy of warmth and welcome continues to be cherished by all who had the pleasure of meeting him.

Our design philosophy is centered on the principle of "a place for everything and everything in its place."
