“My
living room is a reflection of who I am”
I guess that
all houses that are ‘homes’ are reflections of the people who live in it.
My living
room exudes warmth and vibrancy; the scarlet red (colour theme) offsetting the
cream colour of the walls; mirroring the person I am extrovert and vivacious.
Lights I believe should “light up” a space and the overall impact that the play
of light and colours lends to my room is a feeling of coziness and familiarity
– a place that you would want to come home to.
A lot of
thought and care has gone into each and every object that has found its way
onto my /the walls, my shelves , my corners. I love to travel and the
house is decorated with figurines and artefacts from all over India and the
world. Unconventional and ethnic in style, every piece has a story to tell like
the center table – which infact is a baby’s cradle, I picked up from a roadside
shop in Pondicherry and now polished and embellished with a glass table top. A
straw cushion serves as a side table, Ganesha and Buddha figurines dot the room
and a simple ‘gadda’ and cushions act as the much sought after low seating
chill out zone by friends and family.
The
preponderance of pastel shades and warm hues, as in the Indian weaves of the
‘dhurries’ and fabrics used in the room, creates a harmonizing impact.
