MEET FARHA
Award-winning Cary Interior Designer
Hi, I’m Farha Syed, the founder of Farha Syed Design.
My passion is blending cultural heritage with modern elegance to create timeless, fresh spaces that feel personal and refined. As the founder of an award-winning boutique interior design studio, I take pride in crafting homes and environments that honor the rich traditions of the subcontinent and the Middle East, while seamlessly incorporating contemporary design elements.
It’s about honoring the past and embracing the present—creating beautiful and significant spaces.
My journey into interior design wasn’t just about making things look beautiful—it was about making spaces feel like home. I grew up surrounded by cultural richness—from heirloom rugs to artisan details—and I’ve seen firsthand how design can become a language of identity. That experience shapes every project I take on.
Whether I'm working with clients locally in Cary or virtually across the U.S., my goal is always the same:
To help you feel seen, reflected, and deeply at home in the space we create together.
What I BELIEVE
I believe a well-designed home should feel like you. Not just stylish or pulled-together, but meaningful. I’m drawn to spaces that tell a story, reflect your culture, and support your daily life. For me, design isn’t about trends. It’s about creating a sense of belonging — using color, texture, heritage, and thoughtful choices to shape a home that feels personal and beautifully considered. Whether it’s honoring traditions you grew up with or finding new ways to express your identity through your space, I approach each project with care, creativity, and intention. Every detail matters — and every story deserves to be reflected in the place you call home
