    DIY Ganpati Decoration With Glasses And Candles

    Ganesh Chaturthi marks the beginning of a long festive season, and to me it means dressing up, visiting friends, eating modaks and feasting on all the Ganpati decoration. Everyone decorates their Ganpati. Every one of them is different. And all are beautiful!

    Little girls have an incredible superpower. No m Little girls have an incredible superpower. 

No matter how much storage you give them, they’ll still have one tiny treasure that absolutely cannot go in the drawer because it needs to stay “right here.” 😄

Here are some of our favourite girls’ rooms we’ve designed—each one with its own personality, colours, and little details. 👈🏻👈🏻

These are our favourites. Which one is yours?

This room went from spreadsheets to storybooks.

Before:
• A basic home office setup, designed purely for function

After:
• A bedroom created for a young girl
• A custom wardrobe with a playful botanical artwork wallpaper
• Soft colours, rounded forms, and layered textures

Which part is your favourite?

After:
• A floor-to-ceiling wardrobe that makes use of every inch
• Deep drawers for better organisation of everything from clothes to craft supplies
• Clean white shutters paired with warm wood for a lighter feel
• Playful circular handles that add just the right amount of fun

How do you fit storage, a workspace, and a bit of personality into one wall?
• A custom desk seamlessly integrated into the cabinetry
• Closed storage that keeps everyday clutter out of sight
• Open shelves for books, collectibles, and personal touches
• A gallery wall that makes work feel a little less like work

The best part? Everything has a place, but the room still feels light and uncluttered.

    Interior designer confession: I’ve bought enough o Interior designer confession:
I’ve bought enough of these mini roses to start a very underwhelming flower farm. 🌿

They’ve appeared in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, TV units, sideboards, shelves, and probably a few places we’ve forgotten about.

Why do we keep reaching for them?

• They add softness without demanding attention
• They work with almost every colour palette
• They look good from every angle
• They never argue with the rest of the styling

You can find a link to them in my Amazon storefront !

That giant blank wall behind the bed... we turned it into a feature.

Before:
• A basic headboard against an empty wall
• Dark furniture and heavy curtains
• Plenty of natural light, but not much character

After:
• A mural inspired by flowering branches that brings softness and depth
• An upholstered headboard that adds comfort and warmth
• Elegant wall lights replacing the need for bulky bedside lamps
• Light, layered fabrics that make the room feel calm and airy

The mural may look delicate, but it does a lot of heavy lifting—setting the mood for the entire room.

A bedroom doesn’t always need more space. Sometimes it just needs a focal point.

Before:
• A plain wall behind the bed
• Standalone furniture pieces with little connection to each other
• The room felt functional, but unfinished

After:
• A soft floral mural that brings the entire room to life
• Integrated wardrobes framing the bed and creating symmetry
• Warm wood textures balanced with gentle greens and blush tones
• A headboard wall that feels layered, calm, and complete

The mural may be the first thing you notice, but it’s the combination of colour, texture, and proportion that transforms the room.

This living room went from dark and heavy to light, warm, and welcoming.

Before:
• Bulky furniture dominating the space
• Dark finishes around the window 
• A monochrome palette 

After:
• A soft tan sofa that instantly brightens the room
• Lighter window treatments that let the space breathe
• Warm wood, layered textiles, and a colourful rug bringing personality underfoot
• A window seat that turns the garden view into part of the room
