About Handcrafted Habitat
Namaste! I'm Ar. Riya Gandole, Founder of Handcrafted Habitat.
We are a full-service interior design and architecture studio in Mumbai, blending architectural precision with artistic soul. Every project we take on is designed strictly within your set budget — no compromises, no surprises.
Our signature offering is bespoke, hand-painted murals and custom artwork that make every space entirely one-of-a-kind. No two homes we design are ever the same — because no two families are. From intimate Mumbai apartments to large-scale architectural projects, we handle Design, PMC, BMC Approvals, and complete Site Execution under one roof.
With over 5 years of experience and 50+ completed projects across Mumbai — Bandra, Andheri, Thane, Navi Mumbai, and beyond — we bring craft, care, and clarity to every space we touch. Good design should feel personal, not generic. That is the Handcrafted Habitat promise.

Why Choose Us
What Makes Handcrafted Habitat Different
Strictly Budget-First
We work exclusively within the budget you set — no hidden costs, no surprise add-ons. Your financial comfort is our non-negotiable design constraint.
Hand-Painted Murals — Our Signature
Every mural is personally painted by Ar. Riya Gandole — not outsourced. This isn't wallpaper. It is original art, made for your wall, in your home, and nowhere else.
One Point of Contact
You speak directly with Ar. Riya — not a junior designer, not a sales team. Your project gets the founder's full attention, from first meeting to final handover.
Architecture + Interiors Under One Roof
Most interior studios stop at décor. We handle structural design, BMC approvals, PMC, and full site execution — so you never have to coordinate between multiple agencies.
Truly Bespoke — Nothing Off the Shelf
No catalogue furniture. No pre-set packages. Every design, every piece, every detail is conceived specifically for your space and your story. Unique is the baseline.
Mumbai-Based, Mumbai-Experienced
We understand Mumbai's housing realities — compact floor plans, building society rules, BMC regulations, and monsoon-proof materials. Local expertise makes a real difference.
Our Process
How We Work
01
Site Visit
We visit your space, assess every corner, and take the time to truly understand your vision, lifestyle, and requirements — before a single design decision is made.
02
Budget Setting
You tell us the exact numbers you are comfortable with. No surprises, no upselling. Your budget is our creative constraint — and we thrive within it.
03
Design & BOQ
We create schematic designs, 3D visualizations, and a detailed Bill of Quantities — all crafted strictly around your approved budget. No hidden costs.
04
Execution
Once you approve the design, we bring it to life on site — managing every contractor, material, and milestone until you receive your dream space.
Client Stories
What Our Clients Say
"
Riya transformed our 2 BHK in Andheri completely. We had a strict budget and she not only stayed within it but delivered something that looks like it belongs in a design magazine. The hand-painted mural in our living room gets compliments from every single guest.

We hired Handcrafted Habitat for our home renovation including BMC approvals — something most interior studios won't touch. Riya handled everything end to end. Professional, honest, and genuinely invested in the outcome. Will recommend to everyone.

The mural Riya painted in our daughter's bedroom is breathtaking. She spent time understanding what our daughter loves, sketched it out, and then painted it herself. That personal touch is something no big design firm would ever offer. Truly special work.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Interior design costs in Mumbai vary widely depending on the scope, materials, and finishes. At Handcrafted Habitat, we work with budgets across the spectrum — from compact renovations to full bespoke builds. We always begin with a detailed discussion of your budget and design every rupee's worth of space accordingly. No project is too small, and nothing is ever designed without your financial boundaries set first.
Timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. A single-room interior refresh can take 3–5 weeks, while a full home interior in Mumbai typically takes 2–4 months from design approval to handover. Architectural projects including structural work and BMC approvals can take longer. We provide a clear project schedule from day one so you always know what to expect.
