We’re Natasha and Karishma, sisters and designers, working with the same care and attention on your home as we bring to ours.
We understand that inviting someone into your home to help you shape it is a real act of trust and we don’t take it lightly. Our aim is to provide a human centred approach to design and guide you through the whole process so it feels considered and collaborative.
Our Story
Our love for design was shaped in childhood, watching our parents transform our family home. We still vividly remember a bespoke dining table and upholstered fabric chairs our dad commissioned. That passion carried into our twenties when we bought and renovated our first London flat, learning as we went, then refining our approach with a second. As friends and family began turning to us for help, drawn not just to our creativity but our way of working, we formalised our skills. With qualifications in interior design, technical drawing, and project management, we founded Pistashio Homes.
What Makes Us Different
-
Natasha spent years as an NHS clinician, where she learned to listen beyond what's said. We know that the best solutions come from understanding how you live, rest and function in your home. Every project starts there, with empathy to conversations, and a quiet understanding of the psychology of spaces.
-
Karishma brings analytical rigour to every decision. Rooted in data science and technical drawing, we translate complex ideas into clear, considered plans you can understand. Consequently, turning vision into something tangible and buildable.
-
Beautiful design is the starting point, not the finish line. Years leading transformation projects across healthcare taught us to manage complex timelines and high-stakes decisions calmly, and that's what we bring to your renovation: planning carefully, problem-solving under pressure, and shaping practical solutions around the way you live.
Meet Natasha
I find real joy in connecting with people, understanding how they want to live and what would make their day-to-day in their homes better. What I love most is a challenge. Period properties requiring updating but keeping their characteristics, awkward layouts, tricky proportions, new builds lacking character and a growing family that needs the house to work harder. These are the briefs that get me excited. Whether it's reconfiguring a kitchen for the way you actually cook or finding storage no one realised was there, I thrive on solving the real-life problems behind every project.
Renovations always throw up surprises too. A hidden beam or a structural quirk, I love that part of the job: thinking on my feet, finding a solution that's both practical and beautiful, and turning an unexpected problem into something that elevates the design.
Colour also plays a huge role in my work. I delight in encouraging clients to be brave with it. And I love the structured side just as much: managing budgets, timelines, and the moving parts of your project, so the creative side feels a joy to explore.
Meet Karishma
I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, fascinated by how shapes, lines, and colours come together to tell a story. At the same time, I've always loved structure, problem-solving, and precision. Both these skills show up in my design work and every-day life.
What I love most is the translation: taking an idea, a feeling, a set of real-life requirements and turning it into a space that actually works. Being digitally fluent allows me to bring your vision and our concepts to life with detailed plans and renders, so you can see and feel your home before a single wall is touched. It removes the guesswork, and lets us refine the design together with confidence.
I thrive on collaboration, with Natasha, with our clients, and with our skilled joiners, artisans and trades who bring the project to life. The moment a client tells me their home has changed how they feel every morning, that's the moment that makes everything worth it.
