In this episode of Design and Dialogues, I sit down with Aarti Kapoor Jaiswal, founder of Apostrophe Home, to talk about what really goes into building a home that works — not just one that looks good.
From the rise of Pinterest-inspired DIY projects and Urban Company makeovers to the hidden chaos of renovations and the value of hiring a designer early — Aarti pulls back the curtain on the real interior design process.
We discuss:
💡 Why designers are essential — beyond décor and cushions
⚒️ How DIY and “budget hacks” often backfire
🎨 The science behind materials, colours, and space planning
🏠 When you need a designer most — new homes vs. renovations
🛋️ The truth about bespoke furniture and what “custom” really meansIf you’ve ever thought, “I can just do this myself,” this episode might make you think again.
👁️ Watch till the end for Aarti’s take on design myths, client trust, and her rapid-fire design opinions (including the one trend she’s officially done with).
