Based in London, Aliya Modi is an interior designer recognized for a thoughtful and emotionally attuned approach to creating homes that feel deeply personal, beautifully lived-in, and quietly exquisite. As the founder and principal of Studio Modi, she blends modern classicism with global influences, drawing on her Indian heritage, European sensibilities, and extensive travel to craft spaces that are refined, soulful, and rich with story.

Her work is defined by tactile materials, sculptural lighting, and a curatorial eye for art, objects, and collectible design. Aliya believes a home should evolve with the people who live in it, supporting family life, ritual, and memory, while maintaining a sense of timeless elegance.

Across her residential and boutique commercial projects, she is known for her meticulous attention to detail, dedication to craftsmanship, and ability to translate a client’s personality into a layered, harmonious environment. With ongoing projects spanning Miami Beach, London, and the Greek islands, Aliya continues to shape Studio Modi as a multidisciplinary practice rooted in creativity, culture, and meaningful design.

“When you enter a room and catch something slightly surreal, your heart lifts a little bit, that is essentially our mantra.”
