Designing Spaces That Define Luxury
Fuelled by long site walks, stubborn detailing and a refusal to specify anything we would not live with ourselves.
Turning “we want it calm, but not cold” into a complete material world you never want to leave.

The Studio
We design for the way light moves through a room at four in the afternoon.
Elite Decofe began in 2013 with a single conviction: that luxury is not an accumulation of expensive objects, but the absence of anything unconsidered. Twelve years and two hundred and fifty projects later, that conviction has only sharpened.
Our forty designers, drafters and project managers work from one studio in Bandra. We keep detailing, procurement and site supervision in-house because the gap between a drawing and a built room is where most interiors quietly fail.
We take on roughly twenty projects a year. Not because we cannot take more, but because the principal visits every site, every week, and there are only so many weeks.

How We Work
Six stages. No surprises.
Every project runs on the same spine, from a 1,200 square foot apartment to a forty-two key hotel. You always know which stage you are in, and what comes next.
Our design process
01/ 06
A written brief precedes every drawing. A weekly report follows every site visit. Nothing about our process is improvised.
- 01Week 1 – 2
Discovery
We sit with you, walk the site, and listen far longer than we speak. The output is a written brief you approve before any design begins.
- Lifestyle interview
- Site survey & measurement
- Budget framework
- Written design brief
- 02Week 3 – 5
Concept
Spatial strategy, material direction and a narrative. We present two distinct directions — never a safe option and a decoy.
- Space planning
- Mood & material boards
- Two design directions
- Concept presentation
- 03Week 6 – 9
Visualisation
Photoreal renders and a walkthrough at true scale, so you approve a space you have effectively already stood inside.
- 3D modelling
- Photoreal rendering
- VR walkthrough
- Lighting simulation
- 04Month 3 – 7
Execution
Tender, procurement and site. Our project managers are on site three times a week with a weekly written report in your inbox.
- Working drawings
- Vendor tendering
- Site supervision
- Weekly progress reports
- 05Final 3 weeks
Styling
Art, objects, textiles and scent. The layer that separates a completed project from a home somebody actually lives in.
- Art curation
- Soft furnishing
- Object styling
- Photography direction
- 06Handover day
Delivery
Snag-free handover, a maintenance dossier for every material, and a two-year studio warranty on all bespoke work.
- Snag resolution
- Material care dossier
- Two-year warranty
- Aftercare visits
Client Voices
The measure of a studio is what clients say two years later.
Client testimonials
They spent three weeks understanding how we live before showing a single drawing. That patience is visible in every room of this house.
Our headquarters had to feel serious without shouting. Elite Decofe understood the difference between luxury and noise immediately.
A 42-key hotel delivered on schedule, on budget, and with a soul. In hospitality, all three at once is genuinely rare.
We handed over a bare shell and travelled. Two hundred and eleven days later we walked into a finished home. Nothing was left for us to do.
As the project architect I have worked with many interior studios. Very few draw as precisely, or defend a detail as stubbornly, as this one.
The kitchen has been used every day for two years. It still looks and works exactly as it did on the first morning.
