Nikhita works as the Style Editor for Homes & Gardens, making sure our home-savvy readers are always aware of the latest trends in the interior design world. Nikhita graduated with her Master of Arts in Magazine Journalism from New York University, and has spent a decade holding editorial roles at shelter publications ELLE DECOR and Domino Magazine, where she refined her love of mid-century modern furniture and minimalist design.
She’s well aware that simply the vast number of options available out there can be incredibly overwhelming, which is why she makes it her mission to find the products that are actually worth spending on, whether that’s a simple throw pillow for a living room refresh or your next big sleeper sofa to host overnight guests.
When she’s not rigorously checking up on when the next big thing is on sale, Nikhita can be found at a spin class, hosting yet another dinner party, or planning her next overseas adventure.
