At the heart of Bhopal’s design scene is Mitra Arts, the brainchild of engineer-turned-interior designer Anant Soni, known for crafting spaces that resonate with soul, structure, and a sense of timeless beauty. With a strong conceptual foundation and a passion for personalized aesthetics, Soni’s practice seamlessly combines modern sensibilities with classic design philosophies.
Mitra Arts is driven by the belief that interior design is not merely about visual appeal but about how people feel in a space. This human-centric approach is reflected in every project, from luxurious bungalows and commercial interiors to hotels and bespoke office designs. What sets Mitra apart is its commitment to "pulling everything together" balancing form and function, light and texture, emotion and logic.
Soni’s team approaches every assignment from scratch, rejecting cookie-cutter solutions in favor of deep creative exploration. Their process is detailed and immersive from architectural interior planning to selecting furnishings, finishes, artwork, and accessories. Each step is carefully considered to ensure a cohesive outcome that aligns with the client's needs and the design’s intent.
Mitra Arts is known for a refined aesthetic that merges the warmth of traditional materials with the sleekness of contemporary design. A creative mix of matte and gloss textures softens interiors, while thoughtful decor, flowing curtains, and ambient lighting strip away the harshness of straight lines. Country-style kitchens with modern colour palettes and wood accents reflect this balance beautifully, creating warm and inviting environments.
Beyond interior design, the studio also engages deeply with the world of visual and applied arts. With a network of over 200 national and international artists, Mitra curates a diverse portfolio of paintings, sculptures, murals, and installations across mediums from wood and stone to metal and canvas. These collaborations bring an additional layer of narrative and artistic depth to each space.
Notable projects like Sagar Pearl, Hotel Shri Balaji, and Hotel Aman Palace exemplify the studio’s capability in managing complex design programs while retaining a personal, hands-on approach. Every project receives the direct involvement of the principal designer, Anant Soni, who ensures quality and creativity are upheld from concept to completion.
Mitra’s offerings also extend into areas like mural-making both 2D and 3D film production, sculpture design, and visual storytelling. The goal is always the same: to translate imagination into reality while maintaining ethical and sustainable practices.
Whether working on residential interiors or commercial transformations, Mitra Arts brings elegance, emotional depth, and thoughtful functionality to the forefront. As Anant Soni continues to evolve his practice, the studio remains rooted in the idea that great design not only reflects who we are but who we aspire to be.
