Praj Hagargi looks to the surrounding landscape to pull inspiration for her personal home.

Praj Hagargi was climbing the corporate ladder in the IT world when she had an aha moment. “I had to follow my calling for interior design, and I’ve never looked back,” she says. Since 2016, the designer behind Revira Interiors has put her natural eye for design to work, and nowhere is that more apparent than in her own home. When she and her husband purchased their Waxhaw home, it was head-to-toe beige—and Hagargi is anything but neutral. “I was drawn to the vaulted ceilings and a beautiful view of nature off the back of the home,” she explains.

Using the outside as her inspiration, Hagargi set her design in motion, incorporating subtle colorways of blues and greens against a neutral backdrop. “When you bring in many bold colors, sometimes they spar,” she explains. “I didn’t want that. I wanted it to be less overwhelming. We are surrounded with lush greens, so I wanted to keep the interiors subdued and subtle.” The home is a lesson in ‘less is more,’ with small but impactful doses of color coupled with midcentury modern and transitional elements—“a fresh take on modern silhouettes,” as she puts it. The result: an inviting and sophisticated aesthetic that will last.
