And while Im on the subject of fine minds and celebrated design,
I have to say that theres something magical that happens to you when
you meet creative people who do incredible, creative things with
the sole intention of making a difference to someone elses life. Its

Classic luxury makes a big comeback. Eighteeninch mattresses on beds with spring layers
beneath to give an ultra luxe sleeping experience,
layered drapes on windows which were so out of
fashion in mid 2000 and had been replaced
by Spartan blinds and sashay-backs in a
glamorous avatar. The bottom line is relaxation,
indulgence, lavishness and cushioning,

ON A NEW NOTE
A new year, a new beginning. So much to look forward to with
GoodHomes by my side. This year, I have been successful in
rediscovering my creative side thanks to your magazine. In fact,
all the stylish ideas, that I have incorporated in my home, be it
the bedroom, bathroom or even the kitchen, have helped lend
to it a very interesting new look and feel. As the cold weather
takes over, I immerse my days in emulating the latest trends
[Design Trends 2015] for a fresh new look indoors. From warm
colour palettes to bursts of brightness, I am incorporating a
little bit of everything, to help me relax and enjoy the season.
Among your other features, I particularly enjoy the Anatomy of
a room page, that helps with ideas of furniture that works for
every space. Even the kitchen and bathroom Decor Diary helped
me give an unfussy and debonair look both spaces. It is often
the little things that make a big impact. Breaking The Fast was
an extremely interesting story as well. Finally the little creative
touches have indeed made me a good home manager. Thank you
for everything. Happy new year!

MOOD TO REVAMP
I have been a regular subscriber of GoodHomes magazine for
years now so, Ive finally decided to write to youll. I got so
many ideas from the style story spreads in your magazine for
when I did up my house and how, with the just the right use
of accessories in the right places, it can change the entire set
up and get up of a room! In fact, my home looks so different
and transformed now. I also really like the Launch Pad section
in your magazine as it keeps me updated with all the freshest
trends and the latest and cutting edge products available in the
market. The feature stories are timely and they are the reason I
know so much about the various use of colours, the mixing and
matching of fabric and textures and the placement of furniture.
One of your articles A Trendsetting Start in your previous issue
has been a favourite. I am now shopping for new furnishings
and furniture to help my home don a brand new avatar in the
New Year.

particularly fascinated with the idea of using old carpets and

rugs reminiscent of an era gone by, and now, I cannot wait to
welcome guests to flaunt the exceptional results. The simple
idea of adorning the home with exquisite vintage pieces and
bales of fabric in traditional prints against a backdrop of
neutral walls seemed just like the kind of idea I was looking
for. So ethnic and lovely. Imagine my relief! And if that
wasnt enough, I also got to choose from trends like retro
for my home. I am convinced that no corner in my home is
going to look dull anymore. GoodHomes sure knows how to
offer the best possible solution just when we feel like well
never be able to find our way out of your design conundrums.
I cant wait to bring in the New Year with style and explore
new design ideas for my home in the coming months.
Shamika Patkar, Pune
I am delighted to know, Shamika, about the ideas youre
incorporating. We love vintage and everything ethnic. I
cant imagine how beautiful it will make your home look!
I sure look forward to pictures and more feedback in the

NEW, NEW!
Hello team GoodHomes. To start with I am a huge fan of the
magazine. The January issue was an eye-opener in terms of
the trends to look for in the New Year. It showcased very
interesting ideas to play with and make every corner of
your home exude a very stylish look. The trend cover story
featuring the trend predictions for 2015 is an interesting
feature that I would like to talk about. Especially the
play of geometrics and blue, which were my absolute
favorites. Recently I opted a serene blue makeover for my
living area and I was so glad to see such a pretty setup. It
compelled me even more to experiment with this idea in
my house. Last but not the least, the breakfast story was
another one that caught my fancy. I never imagined such
interesting themes for a breakfast party. Organising lunch
and dinners are passe, but executing a breakfast setting
is something very interesting. I have already decided to
plan my next kitty party over late breakfast and I am sure
it is going to be the best parties I throw yet. Thank you
GoodHomes...Im always inspired when I read the latest issue.
Simran Malhotra, New Delhi
It was wonderful going through your letter, Simran.
The breakfast stor y was just us tr ying to whip up some
excitement to kickstart your day on a bright and sunny
note. We hope youve enjoyed reading the magazine, as
much as weve enjoyed putting it together. Cheers!

to take back from India. This desire led to
the creation of magnets, keychains, bobble
heads and a whole lot of products that
began to define the idea of gifting. Soon our
customers began to come out of every street
corner and everyone who loved to wear
India on their sleeve and with a desire to
stand out, became our customer.
Vivek Prabhakar and his wife, Shubhra
Chadda founded the Bengaluru-based
company in March 2010. Since both
Prabhakar and Shubhra love to travel,
they realised that while other countries
have souvenirs like fridge magnets, which

are affordable and easily available, India had
almost nothing to offer except the run-ofthe-mill Taj Mahal replicas and Pashmina
shawls. So, they decided to come up with
products that captured the essence of living
in India.
The flagship store designed by 4D,
the Bengaluru-based design house, offers
products labeled under four categories:
Apparel and accessories; stationery; home
and lifestyle, and travel and souvenirs.
Walking us through the design
evolution, the Shubhra says, We have
started to create a whole new design
language. While older designs continue to
remain popular, the gradual shift in language
is something we need to communicate
without alienating the old.

brainchild, Caravan Hands, literally
meaning, travelling hands. The store is a
melting pot of design and art, with a series
of products and designs sourced from all
over the country.
Nazia, a former lawyer, decided to step
out of her corporate shoes and discover
her true calling in life. This dynamic
entrepreneur realised art and design
made her happy and in no time she was
at it, setting up her own design and art
store, celebrating Indian design in every

this store is that while the space houses the
works of upcoming, young artists, it also
pays homage to the bigger and established
names that we are all familiar with. Art

lovers, this ones definitely worth a visit!
What we also love about Caravan
Hands is the choice of products on display.
Nazia we hear, pays great attention to detail
when determining the merchandise being
showcased at her store. She understands the
psyche of both homemakers and working
women and keeping that in mind, she brings
about a distinct balance with the product
assortment that Caravan Hands has on
offer. Some of the products at the store are
procured from remote villages within India
and by that the young entrepreneur also
helps provide a brilliant platform to rural
artisans. And, interestingly, some of the
designs that are commissioned to them are

COMBINING BLUE
Deep blue mixed with white is a classic
combination but is making a big comeback.
Blues of all shades and kinds that were highly
fashionable in the late 18th Century Regency
period England are making a comeback. This
atmospheric colour that can create the effect
of cool, equanimous and calming spaces from
a refreshing bathroom to a calm bedroom, a
dramatic living room and a sophisticated dining
space is the most tranquil colour that manages
to multitask as vibrant and dramatic as well.
Combine this with white and you have a
winning space. White, in striking patterns from
checks to stripes, can be mixed on fabrics, walls,
tiles, china and work brilliantly without interfering
in your blue scheme. White also makes a natural
background as is evidenced in Wedgewood,
Sevres, Chinese and Japanese porcelain that have
used classic white and blue with stunning motifs.
Permutations of blue with white in cushions,
stencilling, wall paper, flowers, woodwork,
mouldings allow so little to get tired of and are
both comfortable and comforting to look at.
A bright cheerful blue and white striped
wallpaper provides a strong, graphic background,
echoes the theme and yet, breaks the sameness
of the colours in different tones. Royal blue and
white checked or Provencal cotton fabrics for table
cloths add a soft touch. Blue and white porcelain,
while they echo the scheme, with their floral
patterns add chutzpah to the design.

Colour
Y Colour is key in coordinating fabrics. It

provides continuity and helps tie the decor
scheme together.
Y Once youve selected the main colour
for your home, coordinate the soft
furnishings with a second colour that
matches or closely-blends with the primary
shade. This will give your room a unified
contemporary appearance.
Y When choosing furnishings, remember,
the eye tends to prefer the lighter colours
closer to the ceiling in height, slightly
darker ones around the middle, and the
darkest colours lowest, closest to the floor.
You must feel free to break this rule or
any other if youre working on specfic
effects for your room.
Pattern
YWhen combining fabric patterns,

remember this pattern principle: One large
scale pattern, one small scale pattern, one
geometric, one stripe and one or more solid
coloured fabric with texture.

Y Patterns enhance themes. In fact,
the simplest way to sort your theme is to
categorise the patterns using adjectives
you can choose your furnishings accordingly
and group cohesive visual stories together.
Texture
A combination of textures have a way

of creating an eclectic interior. The
stimulating and interesting contrast of
rough with smooth (tweed and polished
cotton) and heavy with light (velvet and
sheer) has been met with great success in
design circles.
Y Smooth, refined textures grouped
together are ideal for a formal setting.
These include damasks, refined sheers,
satin, antique satin, velvet, brocade,
crepe, moir and even lace.
Y Rougher textures will give you
a more casual, earthy effect. Fabrics
such as tweed, casement, canvas,
leather, houndstooth, corduroy, velour,
flannel, jute, suede cloth and plaid.

Id really like my apartment in Mumbai

to have that homely feel, whilst also
being a great place to entertain friends. Any
recommendations on colour schemes and
decor? I love the glitz and glamour but dont
want it to come across as showy. Would love
your ideas!
ANUJA GAUR
Anuja, it is absolutely true that an

apartment should definitely look
swanky but also be liveable, comfortable
and be a place you can return to from work
and play to relax, recreate, enjoy and
recoup from the day.
Id recommend that you first work at
bubble planning, which means that you
allocate areas in the home for various
activities. Earmark rooms for areas like
living room, kitchen, dining room,
entertainment room, master bedroom,
guest bedroom, den and work space and
other areas you might like to have.
Once this is done, go about planning
the look of the space, the themes of each

area, or then the theme that the entire
home might follow. This helps you in
choosing colours, furniture, art, artefacts
and furnishings. Wall paints, colours for
furnishings, the look and feel of doors and
windows follow this broad scheme, theme
and look for the apartment.
Some pointers that ensure a beautiful,
comfortable space are thoughts that I shall
share to give you not just a place that looks
great, but feels great....
Choose furniture, not only looking
out for trend and style but importantly
designed for comfort. Ive seen a lot of
my design clients get very excited about
design, style, the trend of the season and
sacrifice comfort in the bargain. Avoid
going that way, good design
must be practical.
When you are living
with family, you might
need to ensure some me
space where you could
spend some rejuvenating alone time,

away from conversations, interactions or
even just away from company. A nook, a
corner, a room where you can hide and
recharge your batteries, with a bookshelf,
a comfortable chair, a peg table where you
can enjoy a solitary cuppa. In the bedroom,
ensure you use an eighteen inch or then
a twelve inch mattress to augment your
sense of comfort. Little additions and
attention to detail can heighten the respite
and ease of a home.

Navy is a big trend for both traditional and

contemporary schemes and features in almost
all of my upcoming projects.
Laura feels that this colour tone is going to be the next big
thing this year. Citing an example from a project shes working
on, she says, Weve used navy blue silk wallpaper in the dining
room teamed with bronze finishes, smoked glass and dark timber
to create richness. Its a great accent colour when used against an
elegant backdrop of either warm champagne/ bronze tones or cool
greys. Another favourite combination is navy and amber, which works
in more informal rooms such as family rooms and cinematic spaces.

This year, the artist is focussing on

going to create new handmade cushions, curtains, bedspreads
unique to her style. She adds, Creating spaces which have my

KRSNA MEHTA
Creative Head and Owner, India Circus
This year is all about pantone

colours. Also, Im going with offbeat
and contemporary over the classics.
Krsna has a volley of interesting recommendations
for different areas of the home. He says, Shades of olive, especially
on cabinets, will be popular in 2015, which is warm, organic and
neutral for almost any other colour and design you pair it with.
Design-heavy prints including on sofa sets and chairs; coloured walls;
vibrant rich cushions; heavy design-inspired Persian rugs; mixing
colours like purples, and vivid green Ikats with aqua and turquoise, to
keep things fresh and a little more subtle for your bedroom.

To follow a lean
and minimalistic
approach to design.
Her work is innovative and few
have dared to tread the path she
walks on so effortlessly. Jenny
says, My designs have been
inspired by nature and celebrate

RAADESH SHETTY
Owner, The Purple Turtle
2015 inspires me to create and source

products made in India and also encourage
people to shop locally.
Raadesh believes that there is so much colour and craft to
work with in India that it inspires one to take risks and be
bold. He adds, I enjoy mixing vintage with contemporary,
and experimenting with colours. The idea is to embrace
your own style and be at ease.
AMRITA NAMBIAR
Creative Head and Owner, OLIE
I wish to design
accessories that represent
a perfect balance of the
Indian craft with the

In Amritas opinion, fresh decor
is always welcome. She says,
Its all about keeping our spaces
lively yet minimalistic, to layer
with print and use colour in
accents and art. I adore neutral
bases like whites, greys and
natural colours and believe in
using a lot of handmade, Indian
handcrafted products.
LAKSHMI ARVIND
Blogger, Celebrations Decor
In 2015, I look forward to a year where I will be

travelling and exploring local markets, combining
colours, patterns, materials and creating textured
looks with textiles and finishes.
The best mantra for an instant makeover would be to paint a
wall and add some plants. Styling the dining table is going to be
an inspiration that I would like to take forward in 2015. Flowers are
an indulgence, always worth having they dont have to be expensive
arrangements. Jasmines, desi gulabs and lotuses will make the home
special in 2015. In fact Lakshmi looks forward to a year trending towards
organic and handmade products.
DECOR LESSON
SANDEEP KHOSLA
Founder and Principal Architect, Khosla Associates
In home design, I am prompted to explore

more concepts of open-plan layouts, where
spaces are fluid, filled with light and air, and
are not demarcated into strict functions.
Multi-functional and open-plan spaces are quite the rage today.
We chanced upon the architects Library House project and witnessed
this trend amply demonstrated. Sandeep says, The library combines
various activities for the family and provides an anchor to the house.
It is a casual space where the family congregates, where carefully
demarcated areas for lounging, studying, listening to music, playing
the piano, and entertaining are carved out in an open-plan layout.
PROF K JAISIM
Principal and Founder, Fountainhead
I hope that 2015 will see the

re-emergence of a play with
form and structure and the
movement of spaces.
In Architect K Jaisims opinion,
It is not environmental but
intellectual pollution that has
corrupted architecture. Creation in its
purest form has been relegated to the back
burner while eyes turn to treatments and
layers of makeup that make up spaces and
facades. The architect looks forward to
change, as do we!
RASEEL GUJRAL
Creative Head, Raseel Gujral Ansal
I am deeply inspired by the pristine splendour

of nature. From blue skies to sunny hues, even
refreshing floral shades, its all I need to transform a
dull abode into an exciting reverie.
For Raseel, nothing spells inspiration better than nature herself.
She says, Nature signifies opulence and resilience it is the
definitive resource for inspiration. Surround yourself with the living
splendour of floral profusion as the refreshingly vibrant pink and
orange accents of Casa Pop pack an edgy punch. From incidental
pieces of furniture to canvases; soft furnishings in botanical
cushions and accessories, to its depiction on breakfast trays; the
faultless beauty that is explored in the outdoors, is expressed in
interior design to tranform it beyond compare.

VIVEK RADHAKRISHNAN
Creative Head & Owner Kynkyny Home
I intend to work on entire

collections and create a furniture
range rather than single objects. Its a
new approach, but an exciting one!
Vivek notices a clear shift in consumer purchase with
more and more clients wanting their homes furnished with products,
entirely from Kynkyny. Also, as someone who isnt particularly a fan of

are timeless things that I love today and will still love in 20 years.

SIMRAN
DHALIWAL
Interior Stylist & Blogger
For 2015, I have

decided to experiment...
with colours, fabrics,
textures and patterns,
around the home.
Simran feels, this will be a
creatively-challenging year
and she intends to make the
most of it. Talking about her
immediate plans, she says, It
starts with painting a wall that
runs along my staircase, in
black! I want to explore colour
and pattern coordination in the
same area. So think print on
print and bright colours used in
sync. The process of setting up
or decorating a home is never
complete. So we should do one
thing at a time, one corner at a
time and bring a room together
slowly. Happy experimenting
in 2015!
SUNITA NAIR
Principal Designer, Studio Amaya
My decor resolution is to
personalise spaces.
The New Year heralds resolution. In todays digital world, too many
of our memories are stored on memory cards and Facebook walls,
says Sunita. She recommends making use of the innumerable photo
printing sites to order prints of ones favourite photos and use them
to adorn walls. She adds, Make your space warm and inviting with
a family gallery of your cherished moments. Family rooms, stairways
or dining rooms create a focal point with a group of photos
either displayed on walls or arranged over ledges. Coffee tables and
consoles also are a great way to display your photos.
TARA KHAN
Creative Director, LBOF
I resolve to dress up my coffee table. Because,

honestly, nobody deserves to be put on display
without a liberal dose of style and fun.
Tara suggests small and easy changes around the home in the
New Year. The coffee table, for now, seems to have caught her
fancy. She advises, Start with a tray. Consider it a foundation for
a chic coffee table. Buy a nice lacquered piece or simply give an
existing one a makeover by adding a preppy pattern insert. Next,
pile on the well-curated coffee table books. Remember, bold +
bright always equals beautiful. My accessorising philosophy pivots
around the principle of balancing form and function.

Strong pieces of furniture with elegant stripes and pops of colour can add fun to a setting. Opt for simple straight lines in furniture and then play
with the treatments to get the desired looks. Pick a theme for the room and work with it, black is perhaps the best base for any sort of artwork.

Black is often considered inauspicious. It is

walls of their house, let alone the entrance. Its
the right choice of furniture and accents that can

old and works perfectly as home, work space and gallery.
Walking in, there is a sense of serenity in the carefully designed

garden almost wraps the house. The architecture of the house was
planned by Raj Rawal. Based on the brief given by my father, Satish

The thought was to create a casual, open space with natural light

remains the same. The only change engineered was the flooring

While designing the home, we have created a concept of uninterrupted spaces. The living room glides gracefully into a small seating area created for the
family to enjoy the greenery. The verandah outside the living room was initially an open one, which we have now enclosed with glass to cut off the noise from
outside. Initially we had problems growing plants here due to the salty water, so we had to treat the water and create the garden the way it is. Plants have
also helped in cutting the noise and reducing the amount of pollution from the cars, says Alpana.
their own privacy. The house has a flow that fuses one space into
the other. Also, the whole house was done in exposed concrete, but
over the years, it was painted and plastered over, shares Alpana.
The style is classic contemporary which mixes the new and
classic. The interiors were done by my parents and since then the
design has evolved. Initially, the living room furniture was done by
Janice Croft, a German furniture designer. The furniture has been
mainly custom-built and design elements continue to be added. Lot
of pieces are from Casa Paradox and done by my sister Raseel Gujral
Ansal. All of us are involved in designing the house which makes it
special and personal. Its between my parents and me that we keep
on adding and subtracting things. The house is accessorised with
lots of antiques, small bronzes, glass paintings, Tanjore paintings,
lot of old paisley and old Belgium glass mirrors in the dining room.
Alpanas bedroom again has a distinct style. A bedroom is your
haven but not a space to spend your whole day or entertain. Its a
private space where you spend time for yourself. As my bedroom
overlooks the garden, I dont feel that I am in the heart of the city.
Also, my sensitivity towards interiors is very earthy, so my bedroom
is not ultra modern. I am an Art Deco freak and love warm colours
brown, beige, ochre. I love books and read a lot, so have placed
my books around as they make me feel comfortable.

PROJECT BRIEF
This Malibu estate overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Long,
horizontal forms, tall, vertical monoliths of concrete and
an expressive use of material create a monumental, yet
unpretentious building.
Accenting the largely monochromatic palette is a collection of vivid contemporary artworks that one finds in profusion in this home. Board-formed concrete with its
finely grained surface, and distressed white oak create a robust sense of materiality appropriate to the textured cliffside landscape the home inhabits.

What is interesting is the collaborative

owners homage to Jean-Michel Frank, a
1920s and 30s designer known best for

his minimalistic interiors decorated with plainlined but sumptuous furniture. Denise and
Scott have, through this project, paid a fitting
tribute to the French maestro with a parchmentand-walnut waterfall-edge desk in the study;
an oak centre table near the entryway, and, a
pool table that they outfitted with a variation
on Franks signature pineapple legs in one of
the game rooms. With a refined sense of order,
scale, material and structure, Scotts design
transcends the ordinary. The views are needless
to say spellbinding.
