Based in Gladwyne, we design homes across the Main Line, Philadelphia, and beyond, shaped around how you live.
At Ru & Co., we design homes that feel like you.
A home that holds your story — the way you take your morning coffee, the way your family gathers, the things you’ve collected, and the life you’re still building.
We design around your life, not just as it is, but as you want it to feel. We balance ease with expression and beauty with function, resulting in spaces with warmth and character that feel unmistakably yours.
Design is just the beginning. From concept to completion, we guide each step, working closely with architects, builders, and trusted collaborators to ensure everything is carried through with care.
Because home should make space for all the ways you live and grow.

Meet Rupam Patheja
Founder & Principal Interior Designer
Rupam has always believed that great design is more than how a space looks, it’s how it makes you feel.
She grew up in Kolkata, where colonial architecture and a strong sense of culture shaped her early understanding of space. After moving to the United States, she studied business at Penn State and built a career at the intersection of design and real estate.
In Philadelphia, she worked closely with architects and designers to bring spaces from concept to completion. She later studied at Parsons School of Design and began her interior design career in boutique hospitality with Morgans Hotel Group before turning her focus to residential work.
Today, Rupam works with families to create homes that reflect how they actually live. Her work has been featured in Philadelphia Magazine.
Rupam runs Ru & Co. from Gladwyne, working across the Main Line and Philadelphia. She is a mother of two and an avid traveler, enjoys gardening and cooking.
Our Collaborators
A well-designed home depends on the people who bring it to life. Over the years, Ru & Co. has built a network of trusted collaborators, including architects, builders, and skilled craftspeople whose work cannot be sourced from a catalogue.
Custom upholsterers, woodworkers, cabinet makers, wallpaper installers, and window treatment workrooms, each selected for their level of care, precision, and consistency.
When you work with Ru & Co., you have access to this network from the very beginning.
