She is punctual, very responsive and professional, and has a great eye. She is great at allowing her client to visualize and analyze the space, which provides for a unique personalized design. **Comment from Emora Design Studio:** > Thank you so much Kyle for your honest and kind words. It has been a pleasure working for you and developing a space you and your family would love for years to come. Thank you very much. ### All 12 reviews **★★★★★ — Jessica Y. Giraldo, Sept. 2025** > Radhika brought her many skills and qualities into making our new home build beautiful. Made the process seamless and perfect. I would recommend her to all who are looking to build their dream home. She will listen and become a part of making your dream home come true! **★★★★★ — Kaushik Iyengar, July 2025** > Radhika is a top-notch designer who is committed to her craft. My wife and I are both engineers. We knew what we wanted our mostly unfinished basement to be but had no idea how to get there. Radhika started by understanding us as a family—our passions and love of travel and nature. Then, she brought that vision to life. She introduced us to phenomenal, high-quality furniture and finishes. My favorite place is the cozy bar that brings our family and friends together. My wife loves our movie theatre and our daughter, a competitive dancer, is delighted with her dance studio with all the fancy lights and music. Radhika is trustworthy and dedicated. When we’re ready for more home renovations, we’ll continue to work with her. **★★★★★ — HU-714928609, Oct. 2023** > I highly recommend Kalaa Chakra Interiors and Radhika Vydianathan. Radhika helped us with design as we renovated our entire first floor, including kitchen, dining, living, family, and powder rooms. She understood our budget and design aesthetic, and, throughout the project, she presented options that fit perfectly in both. She worked closely with our contractors to help ensure a seamless process. We love how everything turned out, and we hope to work with Radhika again. **★★★★★ — Kimberly Bocian, Feb. 2022** > Radhika did our entire new build house, top to bottom. Please review her website and you will see the Manor home which she completed. She helped from all of the color decisions, to every detail of furnishings, trim work, curtains, lighting. Not only is she a fantastic interior designer, but her organization skills are outstanding. Her attention to detail with all of the vendors, contractors and myself was seamless. Very clear on estimating a budget and sticking to it. I would use her again and again and I refer her any time I can. **Comment from Emora Design Studio:** > Thank you Ms.Bocian for your review. It's been an absolute pleasure working with you and bringing your vision to life. Would love assisting you always! Enjoy living in your beautiful home and cherishing memories! **★★★★★ — Lori McLaughlin, Feb. 2019** > I contacted Kalaa Chakra Interiors to help me pick furnishings for my basement renovation. Radhika had recently worked with my neighbor and we saw her work first hand. Radhika came to our house, listened to what we needed, reviewed our inspiration pieces and then quickly put together a plan for us. I was impressed with her quick turnaround time as I was pushed for time having guests needing to stay in the space. Radhika is very professional with contracts, inspiration pictures, link to purchase items and confident in making decisions. I went shopping twice with Radhika to pick out items I was struggling to make a decision on by myself. We are super pleased with the items she suggested and our basement looks amazing for guests. **Comment from Emora Design Studio:** > Thank you so much Ms.Lori for sharing your views. It was a pleasure working with you in transforming the interior. I am delighted to see how it has come together. Thank you for considering KCI. **★★★★★ — mridulabhasin, Aug. 2018** > Radhika helped us redesign our first floor. We we're looking to convert the traditional look to more modern looking under budget. She did a great job and helped us through the process. Very happy with the service! **Comment from Emora Design Studio:** > Thank you Mridula for your kind words. I enjoyed working with you as well and happy to know you are loving the transformation. Enjoy!!! You deserve it! **★★★★★ — B Howard, July 2018** > We collaborated with Radhika of Kalaa Chakra Interiors on an interior design of the living/dining area for a relative's condo. The situation was unique as we planned the design as a surprise gift for the relative and needed the project completed within a short period of time. Radhika was receptive and professional throughout the process. She created a warm and welcoming space using artwork, an area rug, and paint color to accentuate existing furniture. Radhika listened to our ideas, presented affordable and functional ideas, and coordinated and oversaw contract work. We would not hesitate to work with Radhika for future projects or recommend her to others. We wish her well in all endeavors. **Comment from Emora Design Studio:** > Thank you for your kind words. It was a unique challenge for me, as it had to be sourced and installed in 2 weeks. I hope your relative loved the surprise and is enjoying the makeover! **★★★★★ — Anastasia Alkema Photography, Jan. 2018** > I photographed two projects for Kalaa Chakra Interiors. Both times it was easy and pleasant to work with Radhika. She clearly communicated her photography needs and assisted with staging and styling each image. Radhika has a positive and cheerful attitude. I highly recommend Radhika as an interior designer to anyone who is looking for a professional with excellent communication skills, attention to details and happy personality. **Comment from Emora Design Studio:** > Thank you Anastasia for your kind words and honest views. It has been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to collaborating on many upcoming projects with you. Thank you for capturing the spaces so beautifully. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Phillippi, Jan. 2018** > My husband and I did not have a clear picture of what we were looking for in a master bedroom - we knew the feeling that we wanted but not the exact design. Radhika asked questions that helped us both get a clear picture of what our room should look like. We love our MAster Bedroom and are looking forward to working with Radihka again. **Comment from Emora Design Studio:** > Thank you very much for your honest feedback. It's been a delight designing a space for both of you. You are two wonderful people and I am always thrilled to have the opportunity to design any space for you. Thank you once again. **★★★★★ — Jarred Sandler, Jan. 2018** > I'd give 1MM stars if I could... If you are seeking an amazing interior designer, please contact Radhika @ KCIDESIGN.NET, she did an incredible job on my new home, was an absolute pleasure to work with and provided an unparalleled level of service & support, her eye for perfection is astonishing, and she simply just gets it, I truly consider her a friend as well, aside from the best designer I've ever worked with, she's extremely awesome in every way and will exceed your expectations, as she did mine! **Comment from Emora Design Studio:** > Thank you very much Jarred for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and I'm very happy to see you enjoying the newly transformed space. You deserve it! **★★★★★ — Alfred Wittingham, June 2017** > Kalaa provided excellent service! She displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility and ambition. She is dedicated to her craft and brought an abundance of creativity and new ideas to my home. I will definitely work with her in the future! **Comment from Emora Design Studio:** > Thank you very much Alfred!. It was a pleasure working for you. Nothing makes me more happy to know you were satisfied with the design services. I look forward to working with you in the near future and wishing you the best in life. ## Selected projects - [The New Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-new-traditional-pj-vj~7268995) - Location: Alpharetta, GA - Photos: 15 - Description: A traditional home gets an updated look.
