Interior architecture / spatial storytelling

Rooms with a tilt.

Maya Sen is an interior designer shaping tactile, quietly dramatic spaces where warm materials, intelligent planning and one unexpected angle make a room feel unmistakably its own.

01 / Studio philosophy

Grounded,
then unexpected.

A design practice built around proportion, natural texture and the small visual tensions that turn a functional interior into a memorable place.

“Good interiors don't shout. They compose.”

02 / What I shape

Design,
from shell to soul.

From first spatial sketch to final styling, every layer is resolved as part of one coherent material and lighting story.

01

Residential

Layered homes with bespoke joinery, calibrated palettes and spaces that move naturally from morning to evening.

02

Hospitality

Guest experiences designed through arrival sequences, tactile landmarks, atmosphere and memorable details.

03

Workplace

Flexible environments balancing focus, collaboration, identity and the human rituals that make workspaces feel lived-in.

03 / Material intelligence

A palette
with purpose.

Skills are treated as a material palette: each one has a role, a texture and a reason for being in the final composition.

I work across concept development, spatial planning, material direction and styling, with a particular focus on warm contemporary interiors. My strongest projects begin with one clear spatial gesture and let every subsequent decision reinforce it.

04 / Selected spaces

Three rooms,
three moods.

A selection of interiors where the signature language adapts to different scales, briefs and lives.

Residential / Bengaluru

Clay & Quiet

A 2,400 sq ft family home organized around a sunken conversation room, terracotta planes and softly grained oak. The brief: warmth without visual noise.

Monsoon House

A boutique stay shaped by shaded thresholds, limewashed walls and deep green upholstery. Circulation becomes a sequence of framed garden moments.

05 / How the room arrives

A four-step
composition.

Clear enough to collaborate with, rigorous enough to protect the design idea from brief to handover.

01

Listen

Understand the brief, routines, constraints and the emotional atmosphere the space should hold.

02

Frame

Resolve planning, proportion and the defining spatial gesture before decorative decisions begin.

03

Layer

Build the material, lighting, furniture and styling palette until every surface supports the story.

04

Deliver

Coordinate details, refine the final composition and leave the client with a room that feels inevitable.
