Whispering Homes — About Us

Every home has something
to say.
Ours started mid-sentence.

Our journey began in 2021, at the height of the pandemic, when the world retreated into the comfort of home. As our living spaces became our workplaces, sanctuaries and places of connection, we saw an opportunity to help people rediscover the beauty of the spaces they called their own.

The Origin

We believe houses are more than bricks and mortars and every home "whispers tales" woven within the very threads of design.

Whispering Homes began in Chandigarh, at the exact moment the world was being asked to stay inside its own four walls. That forced closeness became the founding question: if home is where we're stuck, how do we make it somewhere we actually want to be?

What started as a small collection of vases and dried florals has grown into a design-led catalogue spanning lighting, decor and botanicals built by a team that's grown from five people to fifty, without losing the instinct that got us started: design things you'd want to live with.

We're still headquartered a short drive from where it began, still small enough that decisions get made by the people who'll live with them.

2021
Whispering Homes is founded in Chandigarh with a handful of vases and a conviction that home decor had gotten boring.
2022-24
The catalogue grows into lighting, wall decor and dried botanicals. The team grows from 5 to 50.
Today
Fifty-odd people, one warehouse, and a customer base across India who send us photos of their shelves.

How We Build a Team

We work at cultivating creativity, empathy and open-mindedness every day, and treat that as a discipline, not a poster on the wall.

01/
CREATIVITY
We hire people who notice things a proportion that's off, a finish that's almost right and give them room to insist on better.
02/
EMPATHY
Every product has to survive an actual home, with actual light, dust and daily use, not just a photoshoot.
03/
OPENNESS
Some of our best calls came from people who'd never worked in decor before. We hire for judgment, not resumes.
04/
EQUITY
Hiring processes built to reduce bias, internal visibility for everyone's work, and reviews that hold us to it.
