Radhika Mehra Designs

We loved working with Radhika and are so thrilled with what she created for our home! Radhika has such great design sense and style and encouraged us to lean into color and patterns that we are delighted with. Radhika brings an honesty that we found equally important since there are so many options to choose from. She is both decisive and warm and really understood our space. We could not have done it without her, and we can't thank her enough for transforming our home!

I hired Radhika to help me design our new home in San Francisco. I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was with her. We had multiple rooms to furnish and decorate (only a few pictured here). I was very busy as a working mom and we were still able to finish my project in time for my son's birthday (and our first "show-off-the-house" party) and I was so incredibly proud of our home many many thanks to Radhika. Here are a few key characteristics that I think make Radhika an incredible designer: 1) She is very responsive and a great listener. Radhika had time for me on my schedule. She also truly listened to me, which she exemplified by bringing up my own points from past conversations to make sure that we were not missing anything in our final decision making. 2) She pushes you outside of your comfort zone within your own style. I interviewed and actually even started working with some designers and none of them had this super fine balance that Radhika has perfected. She listened to me intently and we worked together through inspiration images and back and forth and she learned my style and then pushed me in the appropriate ways within that. This helped me to not have a super boring all RH house. 3) She brings pieces (whether it is furniture, lighting (which she is fabulous at), art, decorations, etc.) from all different types of stores. This is VERY different from other designers who have their favorite stores and generally just try and design from that one store. For example, my living room has everything from custom chairs (fabric from design center, chairs from boutique), to a Ruby Living couch, to an RH table, to a Horchow table, to Circa lighting and some lamps plus lighting, to Etsy paintings (framed locally in SF), and certain box store chachkies, and more. She pulls from the design center finding you things that you wouldn't be able to buy as a regular consumer and mix and matches them with everything from that level to a box store. 4) Finally, she was really helpful with certain vendors. We recently replaced all of our window shades and she helped me manage the somewhat difficult vendors through these very expensive purchases so that I felt very comfortable that we were making the right decisions and what we wanted was ordered correctly. I can't recommend Radhika enough. I am writing this review for the project she completed for us in June 2019 but we have continued to use her and will continue to use her services as we update more of our new home and expand. Thank you Radhika for everything!!!

I recommend Radhika with unqualified enthusiasm. She is everything one could hope for in a designer: unfailingly professional, exceedingly intelligent, highly intuitive, and uncommonly talented. Her artistic sensibility is innate and well cultivated. Her design esthetic is alternately sophisticated and playful, exquisite and charming, eclectic and modern. Equally important, her industry knowledge is both broad and deep, her connections far reaching, her work ethic exemplary. Radhika always took my call and made me feel I was her only and best client, which was not the case. She anticipated my family’s needs, forced us to explore our untested ideas, and provided invaluable insight at every turn. All the while, she made us feel the best ideas originated with us. Her artistic vision and warm energy made the experience educational and truly pleasant. No task was too tedious and no detail overlooked. It’s been almost two years since Radhika helped us remodel and decorate our home and I regularly consider how fortunate we were to have had her expertise and confident hand guiding us through the entire process.
