Styling Spaces has been a growing in the interior design industry for many years. One of the most fascinating aspects of Styling Spaces is that it is run by a mother-daughter duo, Sreya and her mother, Banu. In an industry often dominated by men, they have successfully established their business.
What is Styling Spaces?
Styling Spaces is a business created by Sreya and her mother, Banu, who transform spaces and furniture into something new and beautiful. Sreya took a leap of faith, leaving her conventional job to follow in her mother’s footsteps.
Sreya said, “Through dedication, creativity, and a commitment to quality, we’ve been able to turn a simple idea into a thriving business. Today, Styling Spaces is more than just a brand, it’s a reflection of our story, our passion, and our mission to help others create spaces they truly love.”
The Mother-Daughter Duo
Sreya grew up watching her mother build her career in this industry from scratch. What inspired Sreya was her mother’s resilience; she never hesitated to go the extra mile to ensure a perfect job for her clients. Although Sreya was initially in a different field, she found herself drawn to her mother’s business. She realized it was not just a business but their legacy, which motivated her to join her mother in the endeavor.
“Joining her in running Styling Spaces wasn’t just about growing a business; it was about honoring her sacrifices, learning from her experience, and building something even bigger together. Today, working side by side, we blend her years of expertise with fresh ideas and a modern approach, making the journey even more special and fulfilling.”
Challenges that Made Them Grow Stronger
Interior design and renovations are often seen as male-dominated fields. Sreya and her mother have faced many challenges on project sites and when dealing with clients, some of whom expected a male authority to lead the discussions. However, these challenges have only motivated them to prove their capabilities and gain their clients’ trust.
In addition, Sreya mentioned the difficulty of balancing their professional responsibilities with their emotions. They realized that their family bond is their strength, which has strengthened their team spirit in working together.
“As women in this field, we’re proud to show that capability, knowledge, and passion matter far more than gender, and we hope our journey inspires more women to step into and thrive in this industry.”
Future Hopes and Plans
Sreya shared her desire to expand their business by taking on larger projects and continuing to innovate with new materials, designs, and concepts that meet their clients’ expectations.
“We also hope to create opportunities for the next generation to be part of this journey, building not just a business but a lasting legacy. Together, we aim to keep learning, supporting one another, and evolving, proving that when family and passion come together, it can create something truly meaningful and enduring.”
The journey of Sreya and her mother in building Styling Spaces serves as a clear example for every woman out there: if you pursue something with love and trust, you can achieve more than you can imagine. Sreya’s mother is not only an inspiration to her daughter but also to all women, demonstrating that if you do what you love, you can build your own legacy from scratch, no matter how long it takes.
