10 Minutes with Interior Designer Mom Purvi Padia
An interior designer, philanthropist, and hostess extraordinaire— Purvi Padia wears many hats.
After spending a decade of her career in the beauty and fashion industry, Padia set out to begin her namesake residential interior design firm in 2008 with a focus on both New York City and the Hamptons. Through her design work, the NYC-based designer has not only mastered aesthetically balanced and effortlessly elegant homes, but also family spaces and impeccable tablescapes for memorable entertaining.
We caught up with Padia below to talk everything from her favorite kids movie to what’s on her nightstand and what she would do if she had more hours in the day!
