Kunjan is a magician!!!!! I moved into my husbands place and was depressed about how dull the apartment and I did not know where to start. I sent a few messengers to ask for quotes and nobody wanted to touch it. Kunjan replied in a timely manner and I sent her a few pics and she had a vision and was confident we could fix it up. She was realistic with the budget and made it a lovely balance between expensive price and low cost pieces. She was at most of the stores with me choosing and picking things and did not put pressure on me to get what did not suite me. She did encouragement to try things I wouldn't have before and boy am I glad I listened. Doesn't matter how small or bleak the place looks,she has a vibrant positive attitude and works diligently to make you happy. Greatly recommended. read more

Kunjan is an incredible designer. She has phenomenal taste, cares incredibly about all the details, and was super responsive to all our inane requests and questions. Couldn't recommend her more. When we moved into our new home, we had a 1 year old and a lot of stuff from our last place that didn't fit in. Kunjan worked with us to make sure that we hit on all the things that we really wanted in the new place while bringing an really good eye for what will work well with what. In the end, Kunjan created a really good aesthetic for our home, and I appreciate it every day - especially stuck inside because of COVID-19 - all the little details she sweated and the fantastic outcome as a result. read more

Kunjan is super responsive and a master at listening and understanding needs. I'm so glad I went with her vs online alternatives. She really invested in the project, spent considerable time generating and presenting options, and came up with some really clever design choices that increased the use of our rooms (we now have a reading nook!). She was also clever about budget, able to choose things from high-end places but also Ikea or Target. She knew when to go expensive and when to go cheap. While she is famous for color - I wanted a more subdued palate and she delivered, giving us the modern, cutting edge design we were looking for. If you want someone who will invest considerable effort, time, and imagination - that is Kunjan. read more

Kunjan is such a passionate, problem-solving, collaborative designer! She worked to understand exactly how we use our space, what we like about the pieces of furniture/art/decor we have now. She flew out to New York to take photos and see our space in person. Then over the course of many months, she explored different solutions with us, item by item, helping guide us towards a cohesive vision, without ever making us feel pressured into making decisions prematurely, or buying things that didn't feel like our style. And all while keeping a close eye on our overall budget - when a bigger purchase is justified, and when we can get a similar effect for less money. And she would always take time to listen to our thoughts on each item, help us evaluate the pros and cons, and suggest another solution if we couldn't agree on something we liked. That constant communication made sure we always felt like we were working together towards a common goal. And then, at the end of the project, she flew out one more time to do some final styling and take photos of the finished space. We absolutely love the result. We know every item is something we chose for a reason, and we see how everything fits together to make the space look and feel better. We are so grateful to Kunjan for her hard work and dedication to transforming our apartment! She is the best!! read more

While looking to furnish our new home, I was recommended to check Kunjan's portfolio by my sister-in-law. I was thoroughly impressed with her previous work and decided to work together. It's one of the best decisions I made. She is a great listener; artistic and a talented designer. She succeeded in striking a balance between my husband's and my interests when furnishing the space. I loved the way Kunjan incorporated traditional and modern pieces together into one cohesive component. She was mindful of the budget and gave us plenty of choices to choose from. Some of the pieces were delivered with minor damages. Kunjan took care of everything and made sure that we got brand new pieces and would not settle for anything substandard. Kunjan made the entire process delightful. We keep receiving compliments about the furniture, especially the green midcentury modern couch. I HIGHLY recommend working with Kunjan to furnish your fun, cozy and vibrant home. read more

Do yourself a favor and hire Kunjan! After having her redecorate our place I've been recommending her to everyone I know. Most people are somewhat intimidated by two things: 1) cost and 2) What if it doesn't look like "me"? What sets Kunjan apart is exactly that: she works and stays within your budget and is able to make recommendations as a design professional to fit your taste. She patiently explains her trade if you care to know: why objects, colors, textures may work well together and it's effect on your home and she will pre-select options to fit your taste and budget. She will do this and then come by to lay out your decorative objects in perfect stylish fashion. Our house and objects now simply look like I've taken a design course and dedicated many hours to make it look as good as it does. My not-so-secret weapon is Kunjan. Last but least: she is an absolute pro, always responsive, on top of things, and also helpful, understanding and kind. read more

We worked with Kunjan to redecorate our home. Over time we had tried to redecorate our place on our own and really struggled to get that pulled-together / elevated look. So we finally decided to turn the keys and work with a Professional. We found Kunjan on Thumbtack and its was such a wonderful experience from day one! She came over for an assessment and spent so much of her time really trying to understand our design aesthetic and how we live. I loved her ideas from day one, and that coupled with seeing her portfolio on her blog, sold me to work with her. Now after working with her and seeing the finished product, I am thrilled to say that we made the right choice to go with Kunjan! She is certainly a brilliant designer, but she is also extremely patient and kind. She spent a ton of time working with my husband and I to make sure that we were happy with the progress and was always there to answer any and all questions! She also pushed us to make some bold design decisions, which I would have never been able to on my own. No decision was ever trivial for Kunjan, she would take the same level of effort and time for big furniture purchases to the smallest of accent pieces. She gave me so many options to pick from and throughout the entire process I felt heard and engaged in the journey with Kunjan. I would HIGHLY recommend Kunjan for your interior design needs. If you chose to work with her, get ready to be immersed in a fun design journey filled with bold, beautiful, and elevated designs! read more

Sort version: Kunjan is just AMAZING and hire her to design your dream home or workspace. She will rock it..!! Longer version: We met Kunjan for a consulting session and became her fan since first meeting. We were surprised at her attention to details, effort she put in to get to know me and my husband, our likes and dislikes. From the date we signed contract with her till the final styling session, she was on top of project details.- She has GREAT ideas to style a space to match your personality. She does not force her style and ideas but will listen to your vision and make it million times prettier by right choice of furniture, accent pieces and color combinations.She is always on top of orders, their delivery timings etc. She was there to help and resolve any defective/ broken pieces delivered in really short period of time. Towards end of the project, she felt like a family member guiding us to make better decisions about styling our house.  We can't wait to contract with her again and design second floor of our house. read more

Whole-condo remake! We moved into a new development condo and quickly realized our mish-mash of old furniture didn't fit well or work in the new space. Kunjan at An Affair With Color ended up helping us pick out new furniture for almost every room -- no easy task when juggling two clients with different tastes, plus an eager young child in the mix. We negotiated a budget up front and she was very transparent about how much was being spent on which piece, how much of the budget was left, and how many pieces we had left to purchase. Kunjan did a great job identifying which pieces amongst our existing furniture were worth keeping and which made sense to replace. She advised on which pieces to invest in and when to go with a purchase from a big box store. We now have a mixture of pieces from West Elm, Article, Crate and Barrel, Target, Ikea, Minted, Wayfair, Etsy, and an assortment of other stores -- furniture that meets our practical, real-life needs in terms of hiding clutter, creating flexible spaces, and cleaning up after a child. We discussed entry storage options, mirrors, curtains, and lighting in various rooms. She advised on bookshelf styling and art placement, including pre-school art that we framed and hung in a sort of kid's room collage. We started this project before COVID and had to transition to remote-only sessions during shelter-in-place. She checked in as furniture was being delivered and provided suggestions about placement via video calls. She even sent our daughter a birthday present in the middle of COVID. We are spending more time than we ever expected at home and are so happy to have a place that feels like us. Thanks, Kunjan, for bringing thoughtful design into our new home! read more

I met Kunjan through a meetup and then i followed her blog, from where I learnt how amazing is she in designing and bringing colors with an impeccable style. I was impressed by her blog and then I asked her to design my one bedroom apartment. From the very first interaction, Kunjan brought a tremendous amount of creativity and energy. She is extremely personable,helpful and very kind. She discussed with me about my interests in my house and together we went shopping to stores recommended by her. She works on her clients likes and dislikes, and is very sourceful for being trendy. We LOVE what Kunjan did for us. Our apartment continues to receive so many compliments :) I highly recommend Kunjan!! read more

I found Kunjan through her blog, from where I was directed to her Yelp page. I was impressed by her portfolio and decided to arrange a meeting and am so glad I did! From the very first interaction, Kunjan brought a tremendous amount of creativity and energy. She is extremely personable and has a knack for quickly understanding style preferences and needs. We didn't want to overspend, and she made us feel that we could get great design at any price point.   There were a few pieces from before that we wanted to keep but weren't sure how. Kunjan found a place for our preowned items, while carefully picking out new versatile pieces that incorporated our style and that also created an illusion of space for our tiny city apartment. She has a great eye for color and helped us visualize the best colors for our home. The field trips that Kunjan arranged for us accommodated our schedules and made us feel involved in the furniture buying process. We LOVE what Kunjan did for us. Our apartment continues to receive so many compliments :) I highly recommend Kunjan!! read more

Kunjan was GREAT! We worked with her at my company as we were moving into a new space and she did wonders. Not only did she come in WELL UNDER budget, but our office is bright and cheery and people love coming to work every day. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Kunjan was great! Really helpful, supportive, and patient with us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her

I live in a 1BR rent-controlled apartment which I love, but which (tbh!) needed a little love after 5 years of our pretty mundane decor decision-making and everything looking a little down at the seams. I wanted to spruce things up without breaking the bank (and with no painting or structural changes allowed, of course) so that continuing to live there felt like a joy rather than "same old same old". Kunjan came over to my place and did a needs assessment in every room. Then she built out some awesome Pinterest boards that suggested themes or directions or even specific items she liked for what I needed. Finally, we went shopping together a couple of times, taking pictures, discussing budget, and making decisions together along the way. Voilà: new light fixtures, new upholstery, new rug, new styling ideas (cushions!), less clutter in the bathroom and kitchen, new colour combinations... I never felt pressured into a decision or purchase and Kunjan respected my budget completely. This no doubt sounds clichéd but I feel happier coming home every day and when entertaining. Kunjan provided just the facelift my apartment needed! read more

kunjan is super responsive and a master at listening and understanding needs.

Kunjan, Kunjan, Kunjan! What a designer! She came into a blank canvas. Our office is an old 1950's grocery store that was converted into an office and the potential was limitless. I wanted someone who could understand the rustic yet modern look. Looked at thousands of profiles and when I pinged Kunjan I knew she was going to be a perfect fit. The pictures are REAL! You get what you pay for and will not regret working with Kunjan. Thanks for making our office a really special place to come to everyday. read more

I hired An Affair With Color to help design my apartment. Space in SF is limited so I wanted to make sure my place was practical and great to be in. Kunjan, the owner, really delivered. She found amazing pieces within my budget that brought my place to life. She has excellent design instincts and a nose for finding the right furnishings at the right price. She was great about bringing stuff over to help me visualize how certain things would look. She will be my first call the next time I move. read more

I found Kunjan through Thumbtack. I loved her prompt & informative reply which included examples of her work and acknowledgment of the specifics from my request. I was on a tight budget & needed a quick turn-around. Kunjan understood that and did not pressure me into costly purchases or design decisions. I have great space that needed just enough color to compliment the space, not overwhelm it. Kunjan used textiles in a way I never considered. I have a beautiful wood table that I was quite happy with but she insisted on trying a runner. I reluctantly agreed and I am so glad I did. It brought that whole section of the room to life. The rug she picked out consists of deep jewel tones that work very nicely with everything else that is neutral. I also learned about the power of table trays. They are the key to keeping table clutter under control and presentable. I am very pleased with her work. She executed on exactly what we discussed during our consultation and within my budget. I'm looking forward to working with her on my bedroom later this year. read more

Kunjan was such a pleasure to work with while furnishing and decorating our first home! She is kind and has really great taste. She does a fantastic job learning about our personal style and needs and was very flexible in working with our budget and schedule.

I discovered Kunjan via Thumbtack. Kunjan did an amazing job in transforming my rather boring home to an interesting home without doing any structural changes. We hired Kunjan to help us design a space that reflected our likes, experiences, and personalities. Kunjan listened intently to what we had to say and then suggested multiple options to choose from, based on our conversation. Kunjan created Pinterest idea boards for each area in our house, which helped us collaborate with her on the project. It also helped Kunjan get a better sense of how we wanted our place to look. We went shopping multiple times to buy the items we eventually liked. As a result, our home looks more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Separately, Kunjan is an extremely warm-hearted, kind individual, and she made the process fun and almost easy. She responded to emails promptly and effectively, and moved through our project with the pace at which we were comfortable. We are really happy we found her! read more

If you are looking for a great interior designer to decorate your home /office or any space you've come to the right place.

She was also mindful of our budget and timeline we needed to complete the project, which is a wonderful quality to have in your designer. Kunjan is a pleasure to work with and makes the whole experience relaxing and fun. I highly recommend using An Affair with Color for all your deign needs. read more

I hired Kunjan for an interior design project: to help improve our living space without making any major furniture purchases. Kunjan helped us make our apartment feel like home! She is very talented, and was a complete joy to work with. There are a several things that are worth mentioning. 1) She spent time with us, in person and on pinterest, learning what we liked and didn't like. 2) She used everything that we already had to the maximum extent possible. 3) She was great at finding cost-effective things and thinking of cost-effective solutions for what we wanted. 4) She has a really great eye for interior design and color! 5) She clearly and professionally communicated about the budget throughout the time she worked with us. 6) She was extremely committed to our project, and accommodating to our schedules. 7) She is easy going and fun.

Working with Kunjan was the best experience I have ever had with an interior designer. If you are contemplating hiring one, HIRE HER. She is the perfect balance of professional, organized and structured along with very creative, playful, kind and fun. Working with her was a complete delight. Not only was she respectful and supportive of our budget for furnishing our entire one-bedroom apartment, but she was diligent at finding us lots of cost-saving opportunities (eg, waiting for holiday sales, using certain coupons, etc) so we finished perfectly within our budget range. She also adapted well to my and my fiancee's styles: both aesthetics for the apartment and working styles for communicating, selecting and ordering all of our furniture. It made working with her efficient and low-stress. We have already recommended her to our friends who are moving to the city and STRONGLY RECOMMEND her to you, too! read more
