    51 Amazing Mother's Day Gift Ideas

    I remember writing this post last year, during the first lockdown, and thinking what an unusual Mother’s Day that was going to be. And that we would never have a Mother’s Day like that ever again. But a year later,

    Affordable Art - Mother's Day Gift Ideas

    It’s been a while since I added to our Affordable Art series. With Mother’s Day around the corner I thought this would be just the right time. Artwork is always a great gift idea, especially when you know the recipient

    A dressing corner designed for a teenager who want A dressing corner designed for a teenager who wanted her room to feel soft, calm, and just a little bit Pinterest-worthy 💗

This nook was designed to do a little bit of everything:
• dressing table + window seat
• soft curves to keep the space feeling playful
• an arched mirror to visually open up the corner
• warm lighting that feels dreamy at night
• and layered blush tones because apparently “just one pink” was not enough 😄

    Headboards are basically the eyebrows of a bedroom Headboards are basically the eyebrows of a bedroom. 

They do three main jobs:

• Stop pillows from escaping
• Give you something to lean on during late-night scrolling
• Make the bed look far more put together than it probably is

From upholstered panels to warm wood details and everything in between, headboards quietly set the tone for the entire room.

These are our favourites. Which one is yours?

    Soft neutrals, layered textures, and one chair tha Soft neutrals, layered textures, and one chair that quietly steals the spotlight 🤍

This living room was designed to feel calm without feeling flat:
• textural fabrics instead of loud contrasts
• curved seating to soften all the straight architectural lines
• sheer curtains that let the daylight do most of the work
• warm wood tones to balance the creamy palette
• and subtle patterns that reveal themselves slowly

From drying rack zone to “just five more minutes with my coffee” zone ☕🌿

This narrow balcony needed to work harder without feeling crowded.
So we kept the layout light and simple:

• a swing chair for lazy evenings and long phone calls
• compact side table for coffee/books/snacks/random life admin
• layered plants to soften all the concrete around

Coz we think even the skinniest balconies can become the favourite corner of the house.

    A study corner that doesn’t scream corporate cubic A study corner that doesn’t scream corporate cubicle energy 📚

We kept this setup simple, warm, and quietly functional:
• a compact solid wood desk with slim tapered legs
• an upholstered chair comfortable enough for long reading sessions
• open shelving for books, keepsakes, and the “I’ll read this next” pile
• soft natural light filtering through sheer curtains
• and just enough greenery to make deadlines feel slightly less dramatic

    This living-dining space was designed around one s This living-dining space was designed around one simple idea — calm, comfortable, and easy to live in.

A soft neutral palette, warm wood tones, layered textures, and lighting that keeps the mood relaxed from morning to late evening ✨

A few details we particularly love:
• the sculptural pendant lights anchoring the dining space
• grey marble flooring adding depth without overpowering the room
• curved dining chairs softening all the straight lines
• and the mix of wood, fabric, metal, and muted prints keeping the palette quiet but never flat

    Window seats are dangerously convincing. You sit d Window seats are dangerously convincing.
You sit down “for two minutes” and suddenly you’ve cancelled all your plans for the day ☀️

These are some of our favourite window seat moments: 👈🏻👈🏻
• quiet reading corners with natural light doing all the work
• extra storage hidden below the seating
• the perfect spot for morning chai, afternoon naps, or pretending to read while actually people-watching
• soft cushions layered against warm wood tones
• and little tucked-away spaces that make a home feel more personal

Sometimes all a room really needs is one comfortable corner near a window.

These are our favourites. Which one is yours?

    Every home has that one detail that quietly become Every home has that one detail that quietly becomes its identity.
For ‘Bhargavi’, it was this Madhubani Tree of Life.

What started as a single artwork idea slowly found its way into the entire home — through colour, materials, handcrafted details, warm wood tones, layered textiles, and corners designed to feel lived-in rather than staged.

Sharing my fave 10 pics from this project: 👈🏻👈🏻
• mid-century inspired furniture across the living spaces
• bookshelves and reading corners everywhere
• the tiny boy’s room that packs in a punch
• the jewel-toned guest bedroom
• the breakfast corner that feels like a tiny café
• soft colours balanced with rich walnut wood
• and of course… that Tree of Life mural watching over it all. 

A home filled with personality, stories, books, art, and little moments we’ll miss sharing on the feed.

Here’s one last look at Bhargavi here. Save this if you love this home as much as I do!
