About Black Pebble Designs

Crafting Spaces, Creating Stories

Welcome to Black Pebble Designs, where thoughtful design meets coastal elegance in the heart of Mangalore.


Our Story

Black Pebble Designs was born from a simple belief: that every space has a story waiting to be told. Founded by Kshema Rai, our boutique interior design firm has grown into a trusted partner for homeowners and businesses across Mangalore who seek spaces that are not just beautiful, but deeply personal and functional.

Like the smooth, timeless black pebbles shaped by the coastal waters of our beloved Mangalore, we believe great design is refined through attention to detail, patience, and a deep understanding of our clients' needs.


Our Philosophy

At Black Pebble Designs, we don't just decorate spaces—we transform them into living experiences. Our design philosophy is rooted in three core principles:

Personalization: Every client is unique, and so is every project. We take the time to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and aspirations to create spaces that truly reflect who you are.

Functionality: Beautiful design should never compromise on practicality. We create spaces that work as hard as they inspire, seamlessly blending form and function.

Timelessness: Trends come and go, but great design endures. We craft interiors that remain relevant and elegant for years to come, avoiding fleeting fads in favor of lasting beauty.
