DesignCafe Experience Centre, Gandhinagar Sparks Big Buzz
With the New Experience Centre, DesignCafe Strengthens Its Footprint in the Fast-Growing Ahmedabad–Gandhinagar Residential Corridor.
Gandhinagar, 6th March 2026: DesignCafe, India’s leading design-led home interiors brand, has launched a new Experience Centre in Gandhinagar, marking its second experience centre in Gujarat and 22nd overall. With this launch, the brand will now be present across 14 cities in India.
The opening of the new centre reflects the strong growth of India’s organised home interiors market. Over the past decade, urban homebuyers have started looking for complete interior solutions instead of managing multiple vendors such as carpenters, painters, and furniture makers separately. Brands like DesignCafe aim to simplify this process by offering design, manufacturing, and installation under one roof. This organised approach is slowly replacing traditional interior work in many large Indian cities.
Spanning 2,300 sq. ft., the Experience Centre features a fully designed apartment walkthrough—along with modular kitchens, wardrobes, bedrooms, and living spaces—helping homeowners visualise interiors in real, functional settings. The space showcases multiple kitchen formats, space-optimised storage solutions, and premium material and finish displays that bring together aesthetics, performance, and day-to-day practicality.
Experience centres like these have become an important part of the modern interior design business. Many homeowners find it difficult to imagine how their home will look only through drawings or digital images. A walk-through space allows them to see real layouts, open drawers, check finishes, and understand how storage works in daily life. Customers can also compare different materials, such as laminates, acrylic finishes, and engineered wood, before making a decision. This makes the buying process easier and more transparent.
“Gujarat is built on a powerful combination of craftsmanship and commercial clarity, and these enterprising, quietly cosmopolitan and value-wise sensibilities show up in the design choices homeowners make. The Ahmedabad–Gandhinagar region is now seeing increasingly discerning homeowners who are more design-aware than ever, influenced by global aesthetics but rooted in practical, long-term thinking. This sensibility aligns beautifully with DesignCafe; with personalisation at our core and the widest range of materials and finishes, we enable customers across price points to explore options with clarity, and make confident choices that feel right for their family, their lifestyle, and their home,” said Gita Ramanan, Co-founder & CEO, DesignCafe.
Interior design preferences in Gujarat have been evolving steadily in recent years. Traditionally, homes in the state focused on durable materials, bright colours, and handcrafted wooden furniture. While these elements remain popular, modern homeowners are now combining them with contemporary layouts and global design ideas. Open kitchens, smart storage units, and minimal furniture styles are becoming more common, especially in new apartments and gated communities across Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.
The launch comes at a time when the Ahmedabad–Gandhinagar region continues to see steady residential momentum, supported by infrastructure growth and the development of GIFT City—driving demand for organised, end-to-end interior solutions.
Over the last few years, the region has emerged as one of Gujarat’s fastest-growing residential zones. Large road projects, improved connectivity, and expanding commercial hubs have encouraged many families to move towards newer housing areas between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. The presence of GIFT City, India’s first international financial services centre, has also brought professionals and businesses to the region. As new housing projects come up around these developments, demand for well-planned interiors is increasing.
Many new homebuyers today prefer modular interiors because they are quicker to install and easier to maintain. Modular kitchens, wardrobes, and storage units are manufactured in factories and then assembled at the site. This reduces construction time inside the house and improves quality control. It also helps homeowners plan their space more efficiently, especially in apartments where every square foot matters.
“The Experience Centre is designed to make the home-interiors journey more decisive and transparent—from exploring layouts and finishes to understanding budgets and execution timelines. It reflects our structured delivery approach, backed by precision manufacturing and quality checks, so families in Gujarat can move from design decisions to on-ground execution with confidence,” said Shezaan Bhojani, Co-founder & CEO, DesignCafe.
Technology is also playing a larger role in interior design today. Many design companies now use 3D visualisation tools and digital planning software to show customers how their homes will look before work begins. This helps families avoid costly mistakes and gives them a clear picture of their final space. Some brands also offer fixed timelines and transparent pricing models to make the process more reliable.
The Gandhinagar Experience Centre is now open to visitors, offering homeowners an opportunity to explore DesignCafe’s interior solutions and experience its design journey firsthand.
For many families planning a new home or renovation, such experience centres provide a starting point to understand modern interior possibilities. By allowing people to see complete home layouts and design ideas in person, they help homeowners make confident choices that suit both their lifestyle and their budget.
