“Design has the power to capture ineffable qualities of experience. In that moment when clients open the door to their dreams fully formed, their joy and the realization of their aspirations are the greatest measures of my success.” — Aamir Khandwala

New York-based design studio Aamir Khandwala Interior Design embraces the art of living—a resolute belief that spaces hold the power to transform everyday moments into timeless poetry. Each project is an intentional exercise that juxtaposes the classic with the contemporary, creating refined environments that authentically mirror the lives of their clients.

Aamir and his team are committed to creating spaces that embody understated elegance, communicating with subtlety rather than extravagance, each item purposefully curated to contribute to the whole. His interiors resonate with the deep, personal rhythms of their inhabitants, reflecting the unique stories of each client through design. This is where true luxury lies: in spaces that not only uphold aesthetic principles but also honor the beauty of a life well-lived and the profound connection between a person and their environment.

Aamir’s formative years spent in the cultural tapestry that is Karachi, fostered in him a deep curiosity about the ways in which people live and interact with one another. This fascination, coupled with his passion for interiors, led him to pursue a formal design education at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology. As a young designer, Aamir refined his skills at a prominent architectural design firm before becoming Head of Decoration at the legendary studio of Robert Couturier, where, for 15 years, he orchestrated the design of multi-million-dollar luxury residences across the globe.

More than ten years into his design practice, those foundational experiences have cultivated an ethos informed by diverse experiences and a tireless pursuit of considered design.

Architectural Digest named Aamir one of the “Ones to Watch”, and the studio has been recognized for their work by the likes of Elle Décor, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Vogue, and House Beautiful.
