In PCMC Pune, Furnish My Nest has quickly become a name synonymous with modern, livable interiors. Founded in 2022 by interior designer Akash Auti, the studio blends beauty, function, and sustainability into spaces that truly feel like home.
For Akash, design isn’t just about what you see—it’s about how you live. Inspired by the vibrant, vintage-infused style of Sarah Sham, he approaches each project with a fresh perspective, ensuring every detail reflects the client’s personality while maintaining a timeless, modern aesthetic.
Furnish My Nest offers complete interior solutions—from concept and 3D visualization to detailed working drawings and on-site execution. The hallmark of Akash’s work lies in delivering on time, within budget, and beyond expectations, while incorporating smart planning, biophilic elements, and optimal space circulation.
Recognizing that interiors are no longer a luxury but a necessity, Akash saw an opportunity to meet the growing demand in residential, commercial, and hospitality design. While passionate about sustainable and green architecture, he takes a practical view, helping clients balance eco-conscious choices with cost considerations.
His entrepreneurial journey hasn’t been without challenges—navigating market realities, building vendor networks, and creating a brand presence—but each hurdle has reinforced the importance of accurate estimation, efficient execution, and deep client understanding.
Akash’s advice to emerging designers:
“Work with established firms, visit sites, and master materials. Whatever the budget, create something exceptional—think beyond trends and aim for timeless design.”
With a turnover of ₹5 crore in just two years, Akash is now looking ahead to larger-scale projects, driven by a simple philosophy: design spaces where style serves the soul.
