I’m Ammarah, the creative force behind @ThePajaamaHub, known for transforming rented spaces into bold, character-filled homes—all while staying within tenancy rules. My renter-friendly design ideas have been featured in leading UK and US interiors and lifestyle publications including Grazia, Architectural Digest, Evening Standard, Ideal Home, Style at Home, House & Home, Home Style, Home: The Way We Live Now, and Start With the Art, to name a few.

Having lived in three countries—each with its own rental quirks—I’ve become seasoned at styling temporary accommodations that still feel deeply personal. In 2022, I was honoured to win the Best Makeover category in the Real Homes Awards.

A proud hoarder of accessories and an unapologetic lover of yellow, I truly believe a good lamp (or a great pair of earrings) can shift your whole mood. I’m here to show that you can love a home—even if you don’t own it.

And when I’m not at home? I’m probably on a long drive, daydreaming about what to style next.
