A personal style

A modern-global home

speaks varied style languages

simultaneously.

It is modern

with organic sensibility,

it is simple and functional

yet warm

at the same time,

it has more pizzazz

and less restraint

and most importantly

exudes a very very personal style.

Would love to hear about your thought :)

Need less...and...smile often :)

A good life 

is when you

do more,

need less, 

assume nothing,

smile often,

dream big,

laugh a lot

and realize how blessed you are

        -Unknown

So true!

In design and styling also I feel happy when I 'need less'.

The effortless and relaxing style is truly inviting for me.

What is your thought...would love to know.

Thinking of crispy summer

Sweet Summer  Style,

with chic black and white,

a breathe of fresh air !

Light and airy interior

lush green living...

   'sketch' of a relaxed summer morning
for that lovely, crispy feel.

Serenity...
and that additional 'wow' factor,
'luxury' designed for 'life' :)

Summer Style Tips:

1. In your all white summer living room add pops of colour and texture with bright cushions, pillows, rugs and throws ;...and enjoy the dramatic effect.

2. For that wide open space look, install mirror in your small living area. It reflects light and makes your 'summer space' bigger, brighter and modern. Expanses of glass blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors to create the perfect look for living and entertaining.


3. Have dimmer switches fitted to pendant lights for a most romantic ways of lighting. Your friends will cherish those moments of beautiful summer evening.


4. For a quick summer table display put a white pillar candle on a glass bowl and arrange shells and pebbles around the base. It gives that instant summery-coastal glam.


5. You can use that battered old trunk as your unique coffee table to put fresh flowers, books and to rest the coffee mugs as well. Don't you love that rustic and fresh summer look?

Welcoming Spring and a few 'Decor Tips'

When things are getting a little springy here...
a  few dreamy-magical moments,
all those amazing blooms and colours ,
happiness and contentment,
gentle spring and its beauty !

Go 'organic', go 'natural', go 'green' for this spring.
Incorporate a lots of  fresh flowers, plants and colours into your home (and life),
the more casual and effortless the styling is,
the more amazing is the result.

Design Tips: 


1. Put a small jug or glass full of fresh flowers in each room-
it's the most welcoming touch of all.


2. De-clutter your home..as much as you can.
After a long day no one loves to come back to an unorganised home.
It brings stress and nothing else.
So, what are you waiting for?
Start your spring cleaning 'NOW'.


3. If you have a busy home with kids (like mine), 
 just don't go for those impractical, fancy decor ideas.
Try to choose a few inspirational ideas which suits your lifestyle and life stage.
A practical home is always a happy home.


4. Be it spring, summer or winter, try to follow your own heart.
Create your own style for every season and personalise your space.
'Your style' is your own 'stamp'.
It reflects true 'YOU'.
