Hi, welcome to Nisha Designs.
Nisha Designs is the design studio of artist and textile designer, Nisha. This is where you can explore my artwork – each painting representing a magickal journey imagined spiritually and reflected physically with every brush stroke – buy paintings, and request commissions.
Nisha Designs is also home to my textiles business. I have 18+ years of experience working in the textile industry for Abercrombie Mills (Cone Jacquard Mill), Opuzen, Steven Harsey Textiles, Koni Hospitality, Welspun, Venus Group.
We provide custom and commissioned art, custom textile designs for hospitality and home textiles, as well as Art Direction services.
Whether its working with luxurious natural fibers – such as wools, cottons and organic linens – to designing your next bedding collection; to capturing the essence of a moment in nature through intricate brushstrokes on a canvas; or gathering nature’s little treasures – like stones, shells, leaves and feathers – to support me creatively in producing mood boards for art direction – Nisha Designs honors Mother Earth in all that we do, and creates with the utmost care and respect for the planet and her resources.

Contrasts in the colour palettes are created by the warmth of saffron yellow and burnt sienna with cool sky blue and gentle sage. The colour ranges are rounded off by elegantly patterned natural and grey shades such as desert sand and silver grey.

DELIMAR fabrics of the Meridian collection impress with their distinctive weave structures in refreshing summer colours and classic non-colours. Fresh white runs like a red thread through the collection. This results in exciting, creative combination possibilities beyond the individual colour worlds. When you look at the fabrics, you feel a little closer to the sun.
The Material
The fabrics of the Meridian collection are made of the innovative fibre Polyolefinic FR, whose positive properties are permanently anchored in the fibre. High lightfastness, resistance to chlorine and sea water and weather resistance are the characteristics of this special fibre. Of course, all DELIMAR articles are flame retardant. The fabrics can be machine washed at 40°C and dry quickly, so that mould and bacteria cannot grow. DELIMAR fabrics are free of harmful substances, antistatic and water-repellent.
