Ahsan Khan and wife launched their interior design venture
Ahsan Khan and Fatima Ahsan finally launched their interior design venture together after making full use of quarantine time to pursue what they love.
They named their brand ‘The Workbench’, the project-based home interior initiative is the teamwork of the actor, Ahsan Khan, and his LUMS graduate wife, Fatima. They will together be changing spaces into beautiful pleasing homes.
Khan revealed he had previously done three courses on the interior designing from the United Kingdom with Fatima. “We always had this tendency. Myself, I’ve done this eight years back also; it was not advanced, shared, and obviously not shown because it was just for our close circle; but just for our interest, we would manage a little bit here and there,” he said.
Experience in Interior Designing:
Pursuing their passion informally, the duo initially decorated spaces like farmhouses for their friends; before setting up an apartment in Lahore during quarantine for a family that wanted to move urgently.
“We were living there for two months and few stores were opening so we would pick up some stuff. Then people were invited and everyone who came there loved the decor!” the actor exclaimed.
“After doing that, we thought let’s pursue this now. The two months of me not acting gave me time to really think about what we enjoyed doing together the most. And then our friends were also appreciative so we thought, why not?”
Khan also mentioned how the duo currently did a small apartment project together. Many people have approached them so it would be impossible to take up every client; they would instead be looking for projects that intrigue them and allow them to utilise their strengths to the fullest.
“Fatima is super talented at really modern, cute, DIY hand-made things that she makes herself. For me, I’m more inclined towards the major work like wallpaper, colours and adding glamour, sort of the British furniture feel,” said Ahsan. “So we complement each other also, it makes a good combo.”
We wish the duo best of luck for their venture!
