I'm Priyanka Kochhar, an Interior Designer based in Vancouver, BC. With over a decade of experience in residential, commercial, and hospitality interiors, I specialize in crafting spaces that blend timeless aesthetics with modern functionality. My design philosophy centers around balance—clean lines, natural textures, and a refined palette that allows each space to breathe and tell its own story. Every project begins with understanding my clients' lifestyle and vision, then translating that into interiors that feel elevated yet deeply personal. Whether I’m designing a cozy family home or a boutique commercial space, my goal is to create environments that inspire connection, comfort, and beauty. I believe great design should feel effortless—thoughtful in detail, grounded in purpose, and true to the people who live and work within it.
