The 2017 Holiday Gift Guide for the Home is Here. Check it Out.

I can feel the holiday mood in the air. You ask, already? I know we still have a week left, but I feel celebration is in the head. And for us, it starts off early December because the son’s birthday falls a week before Christmas and we are busy planning the party, getting gifts, etc. We like to make a big deal out of it. With the malls decked up pretty, and the lights/wreaths adorning store fronts (big and small), along the road, we know it’s the holiday season. I spend a lot of time gazing what is on display at the shelves of stores, looking at the latest decor trends, flipping through magazines for inspiration and bookmarking them, and browsing for hours to see…

Trend Alert: Make Your Ceiling Stand Out with Underlight Fans

Have you ever felt like you wanted a wand to rewind time to a point – sort of as in “Back to the Future” movie to do things differently so that the outcome is different? Be it career, relationships, parenting, or in my case today, the purchases I make for the home. How trivial, you think? Well, the thought of a second chance is comforting that perhaps everything will pan out better (than before) in the end. At the risk of repeating myself, I’m describing my living room again. The living room is west-facing, sports a double-height ceiling, and opens up overhead to the terrace (as in no rooms above it); this 13 ft * 13 ft space is flanked by ceiling to floor windows…

Linen alert: are the allergens cocooned in your pillows making you sick?

Ah-choo, Ah-choo! Is it in the air, or are the allergens cocooned in your bed sheets? The bedroom is also your private sanctuary; one that must reflect your tastes; one where can you indulge in the pleasures of life; that one place where how you feel takes precedence over appearance. Yes, looks matter less as this space is not on display. It’s also that one place where you can loosen your purse strings to choose items that pamper your senses. Like good scented candles, a satin bedsheet, a beautiful throw. It’s a double whammy when the linen is non-allergenic and luxurious. And, the best things in life come at a price. Luxury is in the details after all. Indulgence is not a sin; Say hello…

Bye-bye flat artwork. Say hello to the 3d wall panels for that WOW factor.

This post is sponsored by WallArt. Can you choose a theme for this room above? Perhaps, NO. Because, is it modern? Yes. Rustic? Yes. Vintage? Yes. There are beautifully chosen hints that define every theme you can think of in this little corner. Yet, they all complement each other like hand in glove. Another brilliant illustration of the concept is replayed in the corner below weaving another story. The versatile 3D wall art is the common string tying the two rooms bringing in that element of freshness, that WOW factor. This got me thinking into a wall makeover. The picture below is a snapshot of my living room. Notice the narrow strip of wall next to the TV. The original design was to have the old-school…

5 High Ceiling Lighting Ideas For Your Living Room (under Rs. 20,000)

This is my double-height living room. The living sports a high ceiling and is flanked by floor to ceiling full-length windows on opposite sides. I have been looking for a pendant lamp to light up this space. Most homes either have a chandelier or LEDs strips running along the false ceiling. Both do not work here as there is no false ceiling and I don’t want to spend a fortune on a lamp. The ceiling is over 20 feet tall and the room as you can see is minimally decorated with hints of ethnic elements. There is no dearth of light in the room during the day, but we preferred to have minimal dim lighting for the evenings. Will you help me choose one from…
