Behinteriors is led by Behin Forghanifar
An interior designer, trained architect, educator, and founder based in New York City.
Her work is rooted in the belief that every space should feel beautiful, deeply personal, and connected to the life unfolding within it.
You might begin with a clear vision, a few meaningful objects, or simply a sense that your space could feel more complete. Behin helps bring that direction into focus, creating interiors that feel warm, elevated, and authentically yours.
An Architecture Informed Eye for the Whole Space
Behin’s background in architecture shapes the way she sees every interior.
She looks at the full experience of a space: how it flows, how the light moves, how each room connects, and how every detail supports the way it will be lived in, worked in, and experienced.
Whether you’re renovating, furnishing, or reimagining a home or commercial space, Behin brings both creative vision and technical understanding to the process.
A Design Process Shaped Around You
Every project begins with getting to know you.
You might know exactly what you want, or you might only know how you want the space to feel. Behin listens closely, asks thoughtful questions, and helps translate your ideas into a clear design direction.
Her approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply personal. You’re guided through each decision with care, so the process feels exciting, inspiring, and beautifully handled.
Where Culture, Craft, and Personal History Shape the Space
Behin was raised in a family of artists and designers, surrounded by creativity from an early age. Her love of architecture, music, craft, and cultural expression continues to shape the way she designs today.
In many ways, Behin works as a cultural storyteller, helping clients bring pieces of their history, heritage, travels, memories, and point of view into the spaces they live, work, and gather in. A handmade object. A vintage piece. A family heirloom. Something discovered while traveling. A material with history. These are the details that bring warmth, soul, and meaning into a room.
This same love of craft also lives through JABEH, Behin’s curated home decor platform celebrating global design, Middle Eastern craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and objects that carry a sense of place.
A Few Favorite Details From Behin
A MATERIAL PALETTE SHE ALWAYS RETURNS TO
Dramatic natural stone, warm-toned wood, and something soft to balance it all, often a patterned velvet or chenille.
THE FIRST THINGS SHE NOTICES IN A SPACE
Ceiling height and lighting. Together, they shape the mood, proportions, and feeling of a room before anything else is added.
A PIECE SHE BELIEVES EVERY SPACE NEEDS
Something vintage or antique. It could be as small as a vase or as substantial as a sofa or rug, but a piece with age and character instantly brings more soul into a space.
WHAT MAKES A SPACE FEEL LIKE HOME
Anything with a story behind it: a family heirloom, something discovered while traveling, or a handmade piece by an artisan. Those are the objects that make a space feel truly personal.
A DESIGN BELIEF SHE’LL ALWAYS STAND BY
A well-designed space should never feel like it could belong to just anyone. It should tell you something about the people who live there.
