Besides her innate sense of style, she has the skill of understanding exactly what a customer wants. She was always patient and open to discussion when we had doubts over some of the execution. She gave us advice on practical matters like storage that not only serves its purpose but is easy to use and looks great too....She backs up her sense of style with a skilled team of reliable carpenters and painters who did a marvelous job with the woodwork and paint. My husband and I are so grateful to Swati and her team for bringing so much beauty, practicality, and style to our most precious space.I highly recommend ‘By the riverside’ as a design studio that will look at your home not just as a project but that will take into consideration its owners desires, will look at your home as their own (and therefore, leave no stone unturned to ensure your home comes out as beautifully as it should), and will also be conscientious to get the project done on time, and all this on a reasonable budget.

I am highly overwhelmed to get my baking studio designed by the city’s renowned interior architect Swati Seraan from By the Riverside! She is an extremely talented person and her love for rustic wood furniture, natural aesthetics and infusion of colors is so is soo unique and refreshing!...She renders exactly what the client needs at the same time preserving the ambience and mood! If you would love to makeover your home with a rustic old school furniture and ambience, touchbase ‘By the Riverside’!!

We are very happy with what Swati has made happen for our home. She has made a stunning white brick wall and a few pieces of furniture with distressed paint – that we think are awesome....We had been frustrated with our overall interior designer and had almost given up hope of getting what we wanted in what we called our ‘cafe corner’.
Swati not only understood our vision, she added to it and brought it to life. It was amazing to see that there was hardly any ‘loss in translation’. Kudos to Swati for everything. I think this is because of Swati’s passion for making the customer happy, because of her eye for details, for her team’s execution skills and for sure her aesthetic & design sense + skill. We look forward to working with Swati in the future as well – for additions to our current house & for our entire future house – whenever that happens.

It began with a last minute desperate attempt to get a doll house for my li’l girl for her birthday. It continued to a wonderful washed-to-the-shore toy chest.. and to an elegant dream come true dining table set. The kitchen display unit that is still the center of attention in my house…and the planters that simply made my Home “Sweet Home”…...Swati.. you with ‘By the Riverside’ Had been the best part of my life in bangalore… I found someone who can be trusted with an idea and in return delivers a piece of art…”
