Do you in love with the mystic of Oriental decor and Indian opulence all put together?
Well, I do. I crave for an Asian-Oriental contemporary space filled with lots of vibrant colours, bold textures and green corners. The free flowing organic style, easy and Eco-friendly decor, open space living and refined simplicity always attract me.
Now, let me welcome you to our humble 'Eclectic Home' .
If you are looking for a picture perfect house, straight out of a magazine page..sorry..mine is not.
This is a little 'whimsy' nest, a compact nook for our two lovely kids and a peaceful space for me and my husband.
We are decidedly creative when it comes to designing a happy home which is simple and family friendly, a delightful fun zone where children and adults can play and work together...and we love those beautifully composed magical moments of everyday life.
Simple serenity and calmness are synonymous to any Oriental space. Buddha from Vietnam with Orchids and tea light candles artistically brings out those dramatic effects .
For an Oriental Corner :
Balinese temple doll from Ubud, Bali (Indonesia),
Thai gold plated Benjarong from Bangkok (Thailand),
Contemporary Chinese art painting from Singapore .
Flowers are essential to bring that welcoming sense of warmth and comfort.
There is nothing 'fancy' about this home...a busy space with lots of scattered books, papers, paintings and toys (thanks to our little brats :))...and naturally not so picture perfect always. It is a child friendly- flexible home, practical and comfortable.
An informal nook designed by a slightly eccentric couple who loves travel , photography, books, music and gardening...to name just a few ;))
Those lovingly collected treasures from our travel to different countries always find a special place in our home...be it an antique Japanese cha-pot (tea-pot) or a Balinese ' Barong mask' .
I deliberately select happy colours and patterns to keep my home cheerful and rejuvenate. Burnt red , orange, fuchsia, rust-gold, shades of olive green and a hint of turquoise completes the look.
My mantra is 'Make your home your own'. I love belongings which add character. We do not possess any extravagant art or accessory but every single treasure in our nest has a story of its own.
Don't you like the beautiful effect of grouping several objects together which gives a special character to any space. They need not be match always...this eclectic mix-'n-match brings a sense of flexibility, which I try to incorporate in my home.
Today On The Coffee-Table :
Antique brass bowl from Dhaka, Bangladesh (a family heirloom),
A maroon and green Indian spice box from Mumbai, India,
Indonesian wooden couple masks..a quick purchase from Jakarta International Airport, Indonesia.
Home is about expression of individuality. A personal touch with interesting accessories, fabrics, art and books makes my home more of 'Me'.
An eclectic space with its effortless relaxed approach.
