  • Our founder, Bal Bahia, is a British-born Indian designer with roots in both nature and cosmopolitan design. Bal’s deeply personal journey infuses every project and her eye for global style, love of home comforts, and grounding in ethical sourcing guide the studio’s mission of healing home design.

  • Yes. We offer consultation services for developers and builders, as well as commercial interior design for wellness-oriented spaces. Whether you’re designing wellness amenities in luxury apartments, building a senior living community, or planning hospitality projects with a health-forward focus, we deliver insight-led, purpose-built interiors that elevate both well-being and long-term value.

  • Not at all. Part of Bal’s process is helping you uncover what makes you feel most at ease. After understanding what will help you on your wellness journey, we co-create a design that reflects your story and supports your sense of well-being.

  • We begin with a complimentary discovery call to understand your goals and lifestyle. From there, we guide you through concept development, mood boards, material selection, space planning, and installation support. Every step is infused with intention and always guided by our principles of wellness interior design, neuroaesthetics, and biophilic harmony.

  • Wellness interior design is a holistic symphony of architecture, nature, color, and sensory harmony crafted to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. It’s an intentional form of wellness by design: rooted in biophilic design, non-toxic materials, ambient light, and neuroaesthetics.

    Wellness interior designers like Bal Bahia transform your living spaces into luxurious, aesthetically pleasing, and healthy home environments that support clarity, calm, and vitality.

  • Holistic interior design is the art of designing a space not just for how it looks, but for how it makes you feel physically, emotionally, and energetically. It considers the entire person and their lifestyle, blending functionality, sensory comfort, and soulful aesthetics.

  • Intuitive interior design is design that listens before it leads. It’s about reading a space (and the people who inhabit it) with emotional intelligence and creativity, rather than rigid rules. We draw on instinct, atmosphere, and subtle cues like how light moves through a room or where your body naturally feels drawn to rest. At Bal Bahia Interiors, it’s the magic that happens when experience, empathy, and design come together to craft spaces that feel just right.

  • Interior decorating focuses on style, surface, and ambiance: choosing the right sofa, wall color, or accessories to make a room feel complete. Interior design, however, is more foundational and considers space planning, structural flow, material sourcing, and how a room functions as a whole. 

    At Bal Bahia Interiors, we blend both, offering a seamless fusion of beauty and function, while anchoring every project in wellness design principles that go beyond the surface.

  • Bal would love to hear from you! Whether you're curious about interior biophilic design, healthy home design tips, or exploring wellness strategy for a development, we are here to guide you. Reach out to book a discovery call or ask a question; together, we’ll create spaces that feel as good as they look.

  • Design is a therapeutic canvas for any space. Our interiors use calming colors, air purifying plants, and sensory layering (sound, light, texture, scent) to reduce stress, boost clarity, and elevate mood. Scientific research shows thoughtfully curated environments lower cortisol and uplift cognition, creating spaces that heal as much as they inspire.

  • Designing for wellbeing begins with empathy and intention. We explore how your space can enhance your life, whether through better sleep, improved focus, or deeper relaxation. Then, we bring in non-toxic finishes, calming palettes, ergonomic flow, and biophilic textures that echo the rhythms of nature. The result is a home that supports your spirit. It’s less about trend, and more about transformation.

  • We firmly believe that every space can become a sanctuary, old or new. We use the same approach whether you’re renovating or building from the ground up. Bal Bahia integrates nature-inspired interior design, healthy home products, and holistic interior design to elevate your space. 

    It's all about infusing nature designs (like indoor plants, non-toxic interior paint, and improved airflow) into your existing structure.

  • Biophilic design refers to our innate need, as humans, to connect with nature. It uses greenery, daylight, natural materials, organic shapes, and indoor-outdoor transitions to nurture this bond.

    While wellness design encompasses a broader palette of things like air quality, acoustics and ergonomics, biophilia is one of its central pillars, creating spaces that calm and restore through nature.

  • At Bal Bahia, we do all the sourcing and searching for you. We source materials with care: VOC-free paints, FSC‑certified timber, organic textiles, and finishes with Healthy Product Declarations (HPDs). Each choice we make reduces indoor air pollution and removes synthetic stressors, creating a healthier home brick by brick. Add green home features and air purifying plants, and you have a built environment that whispers wellness with every breath.

  • The sky is the limit when it comes to creating bespoke, holistic wellness rooms. Imagine bespoke rooms like a meditation or spa nook with soft lighting and calming colors, where you return after work to fully unwind. Or, a yoga zone rich in natural light and biophilic textures, or a mindful work-from-home corner, balanced with ergonomic design, sensory balance, and subtle scent diffusion.

  • Yes! Our designs use neuroaesthetics research—the brain’s response to color, shape, and layout—to design spaces that boost concentration and encourage flow. Spaces with natural light, biophilic patterns, and rhythmic textures enhance cognitive performance and ignite inspiration.

  • Absolutely. As demand grows for homes that support healthy living at home, wellness-oriented design becomes a market differentiator that can set you apart from other properties. For developers seeking tenant retention or homeowners wanting future-proofed longevity, features like healthy home design, air purifying plants, and wellness architecture improve both function and resale appeal.

  • Yes, Bal Bahia provides virtual online interior design services, including E‑Design & Virtual Consultations for clients anywhere in Central Florida, London, or beyond. We guide your project remotely, from mood board creation to sourcing and specifications, infusing wellness and biophilia into every digital touchpoint.

  • Have a sense of your goals and priorities: Do you want more daylight? Calmer palettes? Better air quality? Bal will ask about your lifestyle, routines, and wellness aspirations to tailor design tips and design elements that align with your needs. If you're working with builders or developing a property, we'll explore how interior wellbeing design can enhance value and appeal.
