The Studio
Interiors considered from every angle
Aaliya Danka Studio is a Toronto-based interior design studio creating thoughtful, refined spaces with a focus on functionality, detail, and timeless design.
With an international design background spanning the UK, India, the Middle East, and Canada, the studio brings a considered approach to residential interiors — transforming ideas into spaces that feel intentional, personal, and beautifully resolved.
Thoughtful
Every design begins with understanding how you live, what you need, and how the space should feel.
Refined
Materials, proportions and details are carefully considered to create a cohesive and elevated interior.
Enduring
Spaces designed beyond passing trends — functional, personal and made to feel relevant for years to come.
About
Meet Aaliya
Aaliya Danka is the founder and interior designer behind the studio, based in Toronto. She holds a Master's in Interior Architectural Design from the University of Portsmouth, alongside formal training in Interior Design and a background in technology.
Her experience spans India, the UK, and Canada, across residential interiors, kitchens and bathrooms, hospitality, and commercial spaces — from early concepts and space planning to custom millwork, material specifications, technical drawings, 3D visualization, and final presentation.
That breadth shows up in the work: rooms that are as considered in their drawings and details as they are in person.
