SJ Interiors Debuts Boutique Gallery in Allentown
Owner and design director Shweta Jajodia says that SJ Interiors’ customers and its products inspired the interior design team to open a brick-and-mortar gallery. “Honestly, pictures just don’t do these intricate furnishings justice. You have to see them in person!” says Jajodia. “Since we’ve started the furniture line, clients have really liked our products and enjoyed their presence in their homes and businesses.” The boutique gallery opened in April and strives to be a breath of fresh air for all visitors. “From the eye of an interior designer, I see a lot of design potential in these products and their ability to really spruce up a space. Every single piece is handpicked to be in the gallery and has the potential to become a strong conversational piece in any space.” Jajodia describes the gallery as having a very eclectic and artsy feel to it, where customers can walk away with their own piece of history and tons of design inspiration to spruce up their homes. In the future, Jajodia looks forward to hosting design talks and casual evening events that will bring the community together in meaningful design conversations and promote handmade, artisan, local products.
