Helping you love your space.

Transitional Grey and Gold Family Kitchen

Brooklyn (East Flatbush), NY

At roughly 30 years in the same home, our client Jessica and her family were looking to give their traditional kitchen a contemporary update as a retirement gift for their mother. Looking to make the most of the pandemic lockdown in NYC, Jessica reached out to Via Asha Design to use that time to help design a custom, aesthetically pleasing kitchen that is functional for their large, extended family. Our cofounder and lead designer, Sade, brought this to life by creating a transitional kitchen that merges contemporary and traditional touches to accommodate the style of the rest of the home. With the limited square footage, light grey and ivory colour schemes give the space an open and bright modern feel, while the gold metallic fixtures and accessories add an ornate appeal. Additionally, for added character to the otherwise simple design, the geometric marble backsplash and textured tiled flooring were used. Despite the challenges of designing and renovating a kitchen during the lockdown, watching their dream kitchen come to life right in time for the reopening of NYC made the journey well worth it as they create new decades of memories as a family.

Budget: $25,000

Blue and Brass Breakfast Bar

To accommodate their new kitchen design and renovation, our client Jessica and her family were looking for a design solution to make the most of an awkward nook in the space. Our cofounder and lead designer, Sade, designed a corner breakfast nook using slimline easy-to-move furnishing to provide functionality for a quick bite and that can be tucked away when not in use. The asymmetrical triptych artwork and centered drop pendant are used to give the small nook some height for a spacious feel, while the warm teal and brown against the white wood table and brass accents create an inviting appeal for any meal!

Budget: $1,250

Slim, Sleek, and Serene Powder Room

Brooklyn (East Flatbush), NY

Limited in square footage (at an incredibly narrow 15sqft), this family home needed a powder room on their main floor to prevent guests from inconveniently going to the second floor for bathroom use. We chose a sleek, modern design, using a slimline sink unit, pocket door, and wall mounted decor to provide functionality and space for ease of movement despite the narrow space. A fresh white palette of subway tiles, textured marble flooring, and wall paint bring an airy touch, while the statement blue cabinetry, dark wood shelving and metallic accents make for a sleek space for guests to find their paece in the ‘little’ moments.

Budget: $4,500

City-Chic Living Room

Brooklyn (Downtown), NY

After 8 years in the same space, our client, Tameka was looking to transition into something new, just as NYC slowly reopened into its new normal post-pandemic. Moving into the heart of Downtown Brooklyn, Tameka traded in her previous warm, traditional style apartment for this light and bright high-rise loft, and reached out to Via Asha Design to help her create a living area within it that was city-chic, yet peaceful. Our cofounder and lead designer, Sade, brought this to life using a classic black and white color combo with pops of yellow and brass for a sophisticated, yet stylish space. Furniture in timeless clean lines add a touch of cool, while decor in organic textures create a cozy living area that is perfect for sitting and sipping cocktails against the city skyline. Does it get more chic?!

Budget: $7,500

Fine Dining (Room)

Glen Burnie, MD

"Who needs a restaurant when you can bring the 5-star dining to your home?" (things we said during the quarantine). In this dining room design, our VA Designer, Nike, used luxe, yet inviting textures and metallic tones to bring our client's growing family together for fine dining, right at home. A monochrome palette of greys, black, and ivory are accented with statement gold metallic decor to spark conversations that will last past dinner time.

Budget: $4,500

Blue and Blush Living Room

Glen Burnie, MD

For these first time homebuyers and first time parents, the goal was to give them one-less thing to think about with a stress-free design transformation of their family room. Our VA Designer, Nike, used a deep navy blue statement sofa and accent wall as the yin to the natural light yang of the space, while adding touches of blush for a cozy and calming vibe to retreat to after a long day. A touch of glam with brass decor accents and a soft metallic rug add the perfect touch to a space that will always look its best!

Budget: $6,000

Tropical Oasis Spa Reception Room

Brooklyn (Marine Park), NY

Business Owner and #GirlBoss Nikita G. reached out to our team at Via Asha Design in the early months of 2020 COVID quarantine. Like many other small businesses, the sudden closures from COVID meant uncertainty and unprecedented hardships for her Brooklyn, NY based Spa (Joire’s Spa and Studio), but also brought to light the opportunity to use the downtime to redesign her Spa for a more luxury experience for clients to look forward to once NYC reopening began. Nikita wanted to transform her spa’s previously “glam hair salon area” into what she described as a luxury “Tropical Jungle Oasis” reception room.

Being that Joire’s Spa is a commercial space, our VA Design team used our expertise in both build and design to ensure the transformation considered the deconstruction of the old glam hair salon area, a new design that efficiently utilizes the space for ease of navigation for clients, and one that enhances the essence of the spa to optimize the client’s oasis experience upon entry. The “Tropical Jungle Oasis” reception room was brought to life using ample lush greenery (faux large plants for ease of maintenance and live smaller plants to promote clean oxygen for guests), neutral curved velvet furnishing for an inviting atmosphere, earthy wood accents and a soothing reflective large waterfall for an unforgettable and instgramamable experience that would have clients coming back again and again!

Live in NYC or planning to visit? Remember to book a day at Joire’s Spa and Studio to experience our oasis design in person!

Afro Modern Open-Plan Living Area

Brooklyn, NY

How much more exciting does it get than working on a design project for our very own cofounder, Oyin and her husband?! In their New York City apartment, to capture their West African heritage while balancing it with their modern city lives, we chose a design incorporating modern furnishing enriched with vibrant African flavour. We used an earthy colour palette, raw materials of natural woods, leathers, and brass to create a bit of drama, while still keeping a sleek, chic space for dining and convos over drinks. Tall (ceilings with pendant lighting) + Dark and Handsome (decor) = our kind of view!

Peaceful Palette Baby/Parent Room

Hyattsville, MD

For these first-time parents, we wanted to give them one less thing to think about with a stress-free design for their combined baby/parent room. An optimal layout was key to ensure easy navigation for the parents from their dedicated sleeping/lounge area, which we placed close to their ensuite closet and bathroom, and the baby/nursery area we positioned across the room. We blended calm and character in their bedroom design using a peaceful palette of grey, beige, and whites, and soft, luxe textures to promote an extra hour (or ten) of sleep for the new family of three.

Brown and Bright Bathroom

London (Bromley), UK

Limited in square footage (at only 48sqft), this young couple came to us looking for a design solution to make the most of their en-suite bathroom. Our VA Designer, Sade, chose a clean and modern design, using slimline furnishing and appliances to conceal as much as possible, while still providing functionality and space for ease of movement. With no windows in the space, a bright and reflective design using floor-to-ceiling glass tiling gives the bathroom an open and inviting feel to retreat into.

Budget: £6,500

Sleek and Serene Bedroom

London (Tulse Hill), UK

This urban south-London property was to be modernized without disrupting its key Victorian features – 3m+ high ceilings and tall bay windows with panelling. As a previous rental property, James was ready to move back in and make it his home again, emphasizing his desire for the space to incorporate both old and new features, lots of storage, and SMART home connectivity. Our VA designer achieved this with a fresh and modern design using white walls that still brought out the elegance of the original panelling, white floor-to-ceiling fitted furniture for ample storage and an integrated mini-office nook, complemented by stronger tones in the freestanding furniture and decor for a masculine theme. Large bay windows were chosen to elongate and brighten the space with natural light, while SMART colour-changing lighting was used throughout to create the desired atmosphere and a true escape for our deserving dweller.

Budget: £9,000

Scandi-Style Kitchen

London (Tulse Hill), UK

This open-plan kitchen area was part of a full property refurb for our customer who was looking for a clean, simple, and bright scandi-fresh home. Light, in all its forms, was a key part of this project, with the ideal design needing to be quiet enough to share the open space kitchen and breakfast bar with a living area, while still oozing its own sophistication. Our VA Designer brought this to life with a bright-white integrated kitchen design, modern, wood and earth-tone decor accents, lots of greenery, and Smart home technologies that created a connective and ambient space, always set to the perfect mood.

Warm and Woodsy Media Center

Landover, MD

For this colonial townhome, the owners were looking for their reception room to make a statement first impression that was still warm and inviting upon entry into the home. To accomplish this, we designed the TV wall as the statement to the space, being the first line of sight. We chose a warm chestnut paneled wood wall installation to back the TV and media center, balanced with light neutrals and metallic decor accents. We also paid an ode to their West African heritage with hand-crafted pottery, woodwork furnishing, and artwork.

Budget: $7,000

Minimalist Marble Bathroom

Wimbledon, UK

'Marvelous Minimalism’ was the ask of the owner of this Wimbledon townhome. Our VA Designer, Sade, brought this to life, bringing nothing short of elegance into the design of this bathroom. Though the quantity of items were limited, the bathroom came alive with textured layering of veined white marble walls and washbasin, contrasted by dark matte fixtures and accessories for a light and cool energy, no matter the time of day.

Tranquil Asian-Inspired Lounge Room

London (Millharbour), UK

Moving into a new apartment in the heart of London's Millharbour area during the height of the pandemic, our client, Leonard, reached out to us at Via Asha Design to help create a space that felt like a retreat amidst the chaos. Inspired by his world travels and Leonard's love for modern Hong Kong interior design style, we transformed his blank canvas city apartment living area into a multi-functional living/dining room that feels modern and bold, yet calming and well traveled.
