One of the most common questions I still get asked is, ā€œHow do you manage so many projects, in so many places?ā€ And my answer hasn’t changed. I have the best team in the world. ā¤ļø 2025 was a big year for us at Essajees Atelier. The team grew to 60, the scale of our work expanded, and so did the way we work and show up every single day. What stayed constant was the culture we’ve worked so hard to build. I’ve always believed that when your team feels supported, everything else falls into place. Over the years, I’ve seen such a clear connection between the energy we invest in our people and the quality of work we create. My role has slowly become smaller, and that’s something I’m incredibly proud of. This studio works because the team is empowered and deeply invested in doing excellent work. Every idea, every deadline, every small win is possible because of the people behind it. Grateful every single day for these rockstars. And very excited about what we’re building next. #TheyMakeEssajees 29 Jan 2026 It’s been a while, so to those people who don’t know me, I’d love to introduce myself. My name is Sarah Sham, and I’m the Principal Designer at Essajees Atelier. I started this studio in 2014, and my goal is to be doing the best design work in the world with the best team. I majored in Art History at Duke University @dukeuniversity in the US, and studied 19th century French Art for a year at Oxford University @oxford_uni in the UK. I came back to India, and joined my father at my fourth generation, 130 year old family business, @essajees. Essajee was the name of my great grandfather, Mr Abdul Kader Essajee Sham (pronounced eee-sah-ji). At Essajees, I worked in the projects division for 5 years with the world’s top design studios on the execution of some incredible projects. I realised my true passion was interior design and so I went back to school at Rachna Sansad, Mumbai, where I completed my interior design education and finished the course at the top of my class with a first class first distinction. I called my studio Essajees Atelier as a nod to my background and roots. As the saying goes, the rest is history. We now are doing half a million sqft of spaces across multiple countries including the US, UK, UAE, Ghana, Zanzibar, and across all major Indian cities. We have a thriving second office headquartered in Dubai under @jeainteriors for MEA region. I started out my journey on social media with a goal to share everything openly. No gatekeeping here. We also have formed designer communities across 110 cities with over 12,000 sign ups for principal designers, with the singular intention to share information and collaborate, because I really think we all grow stronger together. In my personal life, I am a mom of two girls aged 3 and 6, and two female indie dogs. I am also obsessed with working out and food. I am happily married to an ex tennis pro, @mustafaghouse , who now heads up a fund that invests in the sports and health space called Centre Court Capital. Thanks for being here on my page, and I hope you enjoy what we put out here ! 09 Dec 2023 I had the honour of being invited by Apple to do a one-on-one walkthrough with Tim Cook, to explain the significance of Indian art, design and architecture. We spoke in depth about the philosophies of Charles Correa, courtyard homes, types of Indian artefacts, the principles of Vaastu and various inspirations in Indian design. Tim has a simple, uncomplicated energy around him, one that I was drawn to immediately; seeing his clear interest in the topic was so encouraging. I fully realise that today I got a massive opportunity to share my deep love and passion with a very influential person who holds the power to shape the world of design, and it’s a moment I will not forget. Coming from 4 generations and 130 years of history with art and antiques seemed to really pay off today. All the time I have spent learning about design with my grandfather, then my father, 4 years of university at Duke studying Art History, 2 years of an interior design education, 1 year at Oxford studying more art and 14 years of work in the field of design all seemed to culminate in this incredible morning with Tim ā¤ļø Today was a good day, a very very good day. Universe, what do you have for me next ? I’m ready and waiting with open arms. Bring it on šŸ˜Ž #timcook #apple #museum #gratitude #interiordesigner 19 Apr 2023 A few months ago, I wondered if AI was going to take our jobs. Instead of guessing, we decided to test over 100 AI tools and see how useful they actually are for interior design. Here’s what we learnt: - Rendering and video: AI is getting really good. - Complex drawings: Still a struggle. - Practical use: Getting reliable results takes time, training and experimentation. The biggest takeaway? Not every new AI tool deserves a place in your workflow. We need to know which ones are worth investing our time in and which ones aren’t there yet. We’ve put all our findings into a study, divided into three categories based on their potential and current usefulness. Comment AI and we’ll send you the full study. #AIInDesign #InteriorDesign #DesignTechnology #EssajeesAtelier 03 Nov 2026 You can have the most beautiful bedside table, but a bunch of visible wires and sockets can take away from the whole look. One little detail we like to plan for is keeping the sockets tucked away, with just enough space for your charging cable to come through. You can do this inside a drawer, behind a flap or along the side of your bedside table. The idea is to keep everything functional without having chargers and wires on display all the time. It’s a small detail, but one that makes a space feel so much more considered. Would you try this in your bedroom? Dress from @houseofchikankari.in [#BedroomDesign #InteriorDesignDetails #LuxuryInteriors #EssajeesAtelier] 01 Nov 2026 Flew across the world to see what new launch @apple had in store this time for a first look. The new MacBook Pro with a super responsive touchscreen is really a godsend for people like me who love zooming in to everything. I never go anywhere without my iPad because I need to zoom and see everything The short version is this- it’s super light, has the glowing logo that’s been brought back and an even more incredible display than its predecessors #apple #macbookpro #newlaunch #Design #touchscreen 28 Oct 2026 Not an ad/ actually paid in full by clients and have installed on our site in Nagpur - just thought I’d share if anyone finds it useful Termites can cause serious damage long before you realise they’re there. And by the time you spot the signs, they may already have reached your woodwork, furniture or interiors. That’s why termite protection deserves attention at the construction stage, not just when there’s an infestation. With @rsrtrivantasolution introducing Termicoil technology in India, here are a few things worth knowing: - Prevention is easier to plan early: Anti-termite treatment is most effective when integrated into the construction process, before flooring and other finishes are installed. - Protection needs to be maintained: Even a planned treatment system needs periodic checks and servicing. Ask about refill intervals, maintenance requirements and warranty coverage. - Moisture matters: Leaking pipes, damp areas and poor drainage can create conditions that favour termite activity. These issues should be addressed alongside pest control. - No system should be treated as a lifetime guarantee: Long-term protection depends on correct installation, maintenance and the specific conditions of the building. The important thing is to discuss termite protection with your architect, contractor and pest-control specialist before the flooring goes in. It’s much easier to plan for it than to deal with an infestation after your interiors are complete. Would you consider an integrated termite protection system for your home? [#TermiteProtection #TermiteControl #Construction #HomeBuilding InteriorDesign] 27 Oct 2026 One of those details that makes a huge difference to the final look of a space. ✨ We wanted this marble flooring to look as seamless as possible, with joints that are almost impossible to spot. And it takes more than just laying two slabs next to each other. From precision cutting and chamfering the edges to colour-matching the filling chemical and carefully sanding and polishing the surface, every step matters. In this video, I’m with Indrajeet, our senior site supervisor, to explain how we achieve this finish on site. Because sometimes, what makes a design look beautiful is all the work that goes into the details you barely notice. Save this and share it with your interior designer or contractor if you’re planning marble flooring for your home. [#MarbleFlooring #InteriorDesign #FlooringDetails #LuxuryInteriors #SiteSupervision, interiors, Essajees atelier, design studio] 25 Oct 2026 For this 20,000 sq ft holiday home in Nashik, we wanted every space to have a reason to exist, so we looked beyond the usual pool-and-lawn brief and designed around the different rhythms of a long stay. On the wellness side, the gym and Pilates studio sit beneath generous skylights, with the lake beyond them, so wellness doesn’t feel like an enclosed utility space. The spa and sauna are also close by for the quieter part of that routine. For entertainment, we designed a nightclub and bar into the house, so that the energy of the evening is confined to a room of its own rather than spilling into parts of the home where the noise isn’t needed. But not every guest wants the same kind of night, so we also included a games room and a theatre, where kids and those who prefer a rather calmer time can have their own experience. Then there are spaces in between, like the conference room, which makes the home adaptable, but the glass courtyard makes it breathe. It acts as a perfect halt in between experiences, so that you can just relax. The design exercise was not to add amenities for the sake of having them, but to give every kind of guest a mood and an experience to enjoy, so that they don’t feel left out. If you could add one amenity to a space like this, what would it be? Drop it in the comments, we’d love to hear it.

You can be brilliant at what you do, but can you explain your ideas to a client who doesn’t see what you see? Can you pitch your work confidently, understand the business behind it, or use new tools to make your job easier? These aren’t things we always learn but they make a huge difference once you’re actually working. So this year, we trained our 60 designers at EA in everything but design. Some of my favourite moments have been watching the team put these skills into practice. And these sessions have pushed me to think differently about how I run and grow the business, too. I want my people to be not just better designers, but more confident professionals who are willing to take on things they might not have thought they were ready for. Swipe through to see what we’ve been working on. What skill do you think every design studio should teach its team? And what should we bring into our next training session? 19 Oct 2026 For this 20,000 sq ft holiday home in Nashik, we didn’t want the bathrooms to feel like one look repeated behind every door. So each one was given its own material palette, and no two in this set are alike. It’s a mix we had fun with. Some spaces lean into a darker mood with stone, while others stay balanced in beige and travertine, with terracotta, burnt orange and green terrazzo bringing in the bolder moments. The thinking was the same as it was for the bedrooms. Every bathroom should have its own mood. A few things do run through all of them - Like the skylights, so that even the darkest rooms never feel closed off. Almost every bathroom opens toward something green, whether that’s a small planted courtyard behind the shower or a view out to the trees. We kept mixing smooth and textured stone This is a holiday home, and each of these rooms will host very different people. So each one had to feel easy to use and still hold a sense of occasion. Swipe through and tell us which one is your favourite. We would love to read what detail stood out to you the most.

Each room carries its own material palette, from deeper stone-led schemes to softer wood-lined spaces, so every bedroom feels slightly different without trying too hard. The architecture does a lot of the work here. Sloped wooden ceilings bring in the height, skylights draw in natural light from above, and the use of stone, textured walls, built-in wardrobes, and small work nooks gives the rooms a more complete feeling. Every surface has been considered in terms of how the room will be used. Since this is a rental holiday home, the bedrooms also had to hold up to different people using them in different ways. Some guests may come only to switch off, some may need to take a call between plans, some may stay longer and actually unpack. So the rooms had to feel beautiful and easy to settle into. Which bedroom would you choose for yourself?
