In an era where homes are increasingly viewed as reflections of personal identity, the art of interior design has evolved beyond mere decoration into a thoughtful expression of elegance and individuality. At the forefront of this refined aesthetic is Riti, the visionary behind Maison de Fabric, a curated luxury home décor brand based in Mohali. Established with a passion for exquisite textiles and sophisticated interiors, Maison de Fabric embodies a harmonious blend of global design influences and timeless craftsmanship. Through carefully selected fabrics, wallpapers, and statement décor pieces, the brand seeks to transform living spaces into environments that celebrate beauty, comfort, and enduring style.
Riti, you launched Maison de Fabric’s showroom in Mohali in 2023. Can you share your personal journey and what inspired you to start this curated luxury home décor brand?
Maison De Fabric was born out of my passion for beautiful interiors and quality textiles. I have always believed that every home deserves thoughtfully curated décor that reflects personality and elegance. In 2024, I opened the store with the vision of creating bespoke interiors and crafting spaces where people could experience luxury fabrics and décor in an inspiring and carefully curated environment. I have been fortunate to receive the unwavering support of my wonderful family and the privilege of global exposure, both of which have helped shape and articulate my perspective on refined interiors.
What vision or aesthetic philosophy guides your curation of high end décor and luxury fabrics at Maison de Fabric? How do you decide which pieces fit the brand’s identity and story?
Our philosophy is rooted in timeless elegance combined with global design influences and refined craftsmanship. Every piece we curate must feel distinctive, embody exceptional quality, and possess the ability to elevate a space while preserving warmth and sophistication. We carefully select pieces that align with our aesthetic sensibility and contribute to creating interiors that feel both luxurious and inviting.
Luxury means different things to different people. How do you define luxury in the context of home interiors, and how does that definition shape the experience and products at Maison de Fabric?
For me, luxury is not defined merely by price or exclusivity. It is defined by quality, attention to detail, and the experience a product brings to a home. At Maison de Fabric, luxury represents carefully selected materials, exquisite textures, and thoughtful designs that transform everyday living into something refined and special.
Creating a niche, high end interior brand in India must come with challenges. What have been the biggest obstacles you have faced in building Maison de Fabric, and how have you overcome them?
Building a niche luxury brand often requires educating customers about the true value of quality and craftsmanship. One of the initial challenges was creating awareness about curated décor and premium fabrics. However, through trust, design expertise, and strong relationships with our clients, we have been able to grow steadily and establish a meaningful presence.
Craftsmanship and sustainability are increasingly valued in design. How do these principles play into Maison de Fabric’s collection? Do you also view storytelling through design as important, and can you give an example of a product that tells a story?
Craftsmanship remains central to our collection because handmade and thoughtfully designed pieces possess a distinctive character that cannot be replicated. Sustainability and storytelling are equally significant. We aim to work with products that carry a narrative, whether through traditional techniques, artisanal skill, or meaningful design inspiration that adds depth and authenticity to the piece.
India’s luxury market is expanding rapidly. How do you balance global design influences with Indian cultural traditions and craftsmanship in your collections for this growing market?
India possesses a rich heritage of textiles and craftsmanship. At Maison De Fabric, we strive to blend global design sensibilities with Indian artistry. The result is interiors that feel contemporary and sophisticated while remaining deeply rooted in cultural heritage and tradition.
Are there any signature products or exclusive collections at Maison de Fabric that you are especially proud of? What makes those pieces unique, and how do they embody your brand’s ethos?
Our luxury wallpapers, curated upholstery fabrics, and statement décor pieces are among the collections we are especially proud of. What distinguishes them is their meticulous design detail, premium quality, and the remarkable ability to transform an entire space through a single carefully chosen element.
What does the name Maison de Fabric signify to you, and how does it encapsulate the brand’s identity? How important is the concept of fabric or materiality in your vision for the store?
The word Maison signifies home, while fabric represents the essence of materials and textures that shape interiors. Together, the name reflects our belief that fabrics and materials form the very foundation of beautiful spaces. Materiality plays a central role in our vision because the right textures and fabrics can completely transform the character of an interior.
Could you share the story behind one of your favorite pieces in the Maison de Fabric collection? What inspired it, and how does it reflect the values of your brand?
One of my favourite pieces is a textured fabric collection that blends subtle patterns with rich and sophisticated tones. It was inspired by timeless European interiors but thoughtfully adapted for modern Indian homes. It beautifully represents the balance we aim to achieve by combining global elegance with contemporary living.
Looking ahead, what are your future plans for Maison de Fabric? Are there upcoming projects, collaborations, or directions you are especially excited about in the world of luxury interiors?
Going forward, we aspire to expand Maison De Fabric as a destination for luxury interiors by introducing more exclusive collections and collaborating with designers and architects. Our goal is to continue bringing refined and inspiring décor to modern homes while creating spaces that reflect elegance, comfort, and individuality.
