Profile

Hi there! I’m Ishita Nagda Lalan, and I have a passion for transforming spaces. My journey in interior design has taken me from film sets, where I spent a year creating visual stories, to OPN Architects, where I learned the art of blending form with function. But my true calling? It's turning homes with untold stories into short-term rental gems with Ishita Interiors.

I believe every space has potential. My stint in the film industry taught me to see the unseen, crafting beauty and functionality under the pressure of rolling cameras. My time at OPN Architects grounded me in the principles of architectural design, where I learned that good design is as much about feeling as it is about seeing.

Ishita Interiors is my playground, my studio, my dream. Here, I get to pour all my creativity into homes that have seen better days, turning them into sought-after short-term rentals. It’s not just about a fresh coat of paint or new furniture; it’s about breathing new life into each room, making it tell a story, and creating an experience that guests love and remember.

What excites me the most is seeing the transformation – a once overlooked property becoming a top performer in the short-term rental market. It's about making spaces that aren't just beautiful, but also work hard for their owners.

I’m always eager to chat about design, the magic of transformation, or just to connect with like-minded souls. Drop me a message if you’re interested in talking design, collaboration, or just want to share your favorite home makeover story!
