In our celebrity home tour segment, get whisked away
as we step in to a home with oodles of character and expertly balanced
interiors. The impressive look has
been achieved in Actor Irrfan Khan's new home, by infusing and pairing the charming elements of unique and
timeless accessories. The actor, who has already created his mark in
Bollywood & Hollywood, is now all set to woo away his fans as a passionate
and classic home owner to this beautiful apartment which is a brief respite
from the busy “Mumbai” life.
The brightly hued
entrance is a jumping off point in the apartment where color plays the key
role and juxtaposition of new and old makes you thoroughly smitten. Frames and
carved panels are sourced from a craft heavy region of Rajasthan, whereas the
artefacts on the wall are from the private collection of the Khan couple.
Shabnam Gupta, the
head honcho at Peacock Life Design, who designed the interiors, has taken deliberate care for each and
every nook. The spacious living room is suffused in natural light. And the pond
& swing in the middle of the living room are not easy to miss as they both
were ticked off as ‘MUST’ in the home. Cute and quaint use of ‘charpoys’ are brought
back to life here with a modern avatar. Strategically placed frames, plates and
urns are the couple’s private collection.
The Khan’s
private chamber is kept
minimal choosing the right accessories to make the maximum impact. The floral
motif and Gond art on the wall is done by the in-house artists of Peacock Life
Design. Khan had developed an ‘eye’ for old things since long and these
rare and vintage finds of chair, rug and stand in the room are from Irrfan and his wife Sutapa’s personal collection.
I, unflinchingly, fell in love with the indispensable look in Khan's home, which describes how brilliantly they have bring together old and new. Head straight to the link here to read and view more. Until we meet again, stay connected, toodles!
