In the heart of Kolhapur, a dynamic husband-wife duo, Tilottama S. Deshmukh (Interior Designer) and Ar. Siddhant V Deshmukh (Architect), are crafting a unique narrative in the world of architecture and interior design through their venture, LiveNxt. The duo embarked on this journey in 2018, and since then, their creative vision has transformed more than 55 sites into aesthetically pleasing and luxurious spaces.
LiveNxt, headquartered at Shop No 4, Skyville Apartment, near Ram Mangal Hall, Sciber-University Rd, Kolhapur, focuses on residential, commercial, and industrial interior projects. The business, with its inception in 2018, has successfully completed over 55 projects to date, prioritizing interior design projects that emphasize both functionality and luxury.
With a commitment to impacting society positively, LiveNxt adheres to strict rules, ensuring that clients, regardless of their budget, receive the best quality, designs, and finishing. Specializing in residential and commercial projects, the firm stands out by effectively utilizing space in an aesthetically pleasing and luxurious manner.
LiveNxt envisions a future where it stands among the top 5 interior design companies in the state, aiming for growth and recognition in their region. The duo’s creative vision, coupled with a strong bond and shared creativity, has been instrumental in overcoming challenges. Notably, their initial project in a small city with a restricted customer base taught them to offer mid-premium designs within a limited budget, a strategy that saw them through the pandemic successfully.
The essentials needed to start their business were not traditional – no office space or substantial investments. Instead, Tilottama and Siddhant invested their creative minds and confidence, establishing a business that thrives on their vision and skill.
Identifying opportunities in the market, they observed a gap where few competitors could deliver quality, designs, and creativity simultaneously. The duo’s uniqueness as entrepreneurs lies in their strong bond, shared choices, and creativity, factors that have propelled them into successful business owners.
Despite facing challenges, including a project where local interference tested their resolve, LiveNxt has persevered, demonstrating resilience and determination. They consider client psychology and requirements crucial, emphasizing the need for architects and interior designers to understand individual client tastes and project purposes.
In the ever-evolving trend towards sustainable and green architecture, LiveNxt believes architects and interior designers play a crucial role in promoting a healthy lifestyle and contributing to the preservation of nature’s beauty.
Understanding that every day in this field brings new challenges, Tilottama and Siddhant stress the importance of providing quality over quantity. Their message to budding architects and designers is to stay creative, learn from experienced individuals, and strive to acquire new knowledge every day.While LiveNxt has notched recognition as the Best Innovative Home and Commercial Interior Designers in South Western Maharashtra from BlindWink in 2021, the duo continues to focus on their creative journey, delivering excellence in architecture and interior design.
