About Nalini

With over a decade of professional design experience, including developing and sourcing a full home decor line for a major retailer, Nalini brings a wealth of expertise to every project. Her design journey began with a “side hustle” creating custom wedding invitations, where she honed her skills in listening carefully to understand her clients’ visions and translating them into beautiful designs.

After leaving the corporate world, she discovered her true passion at Decorating Den Interiors, drawn to the opportunity to help clients create spaces that reflect their authentic lifestyles. Her design motto, “I design for you, not for me,” encapsulates her client-focused approach. She challenges her clients to stretch their imaginations while ensuring the end result feels true to their preferences and how they want to live.

Based in Northern Virginia, Nalini balances her thriving design career with an active family life that includes two teenage sons, an energetic dog, and a patient husband. When she’s not transforming homes, she indulges her love of travel, entertaining, and her newfound hobby of drumming—a creative outlet for the occasional work and family stresses. Discovering audiobooks has also reignited her passion for reading.

With her warm personality, keen listening skills, and commitment to designing spaces that delight her clients, Nalini is a trusted partner in bringing your dream home to life.
