Taniya Nayak

TV host and interior designer Taniya Nayak opens up about childhood bullies, her struggles with fertility and how she defines success.

Interior designer and television host Taniya Nayak became a household name as the design expert on HGTV’s Designed to Sell. She got her start soon after graduating from Boston Architectural College, appearing on ABC Family’s Knock First, and then as a designer on the HGTV's FreeStyle. In her Boston-based firm Taniya Nayak Design, Nayak uses the same principles she does on the small screen, helping homeowners transform their uninspired homes for top-dollar sales, through staging and minor renovations. Her Friday Five lets us peak into what keeps her organized, inspired, and calm.
