Pop goes the...

Retro, pop art or simply Indian wow, homes are embracing colour, and how! The picture above shows a creation from the house of Arachne. Notice how the braids signify a typically vibrant Indian/South American feel, with the colours playing up in subtle drama. Who had ever thought that drama and subtely could come across so well in bright colours? Well, its now a reality - and here to stay. And the tie backs add fun in detail.

With industrial spaces and non descript greys and beige to welcome you at work everyday, it is no wonder that the soul craves colour at home. So it is back to basics - grandma's old braided mats, old sarees are robbed of their zardozi borders to enhance a solid coloured cushion, low seating from the old family home - polished or maybe not (for that raw feel). Suddenly, cosy seems like the go to theme for all homes. This symbolises not only a shift in priorities but also the solution to a fine balance. Career AND family? Well, why not!
