How I love the name of the project -“In Praise Of Shadows”. This project is an interior of a building in an incredible location in Tanzania. This house is the perfect example of merging indoor and outdoor that I keep talking about. And the project name was taken from the inspiring essay by Jun’ichirō Tanizaki […]

A Personal Sanctuary – Mountain Retreat In Incline Village, Nevada
I am always in awe with the mountains and intrigued to mountain living. The snow capped peaks call me like a mother calling to her child. I have loved going back to the Himalayas time and again – as many times as I could manage. And every time, it felt like I came back home. […]
Minimal Fall Decoration In A Swedish Studio
When Space is tight, decorating for season or occasion seems luxury and unnecessary – right? Wrong. I am always amazed with the Swedish design sense. This small studio shows exactly how you can still decorate for a season without making the place feel overwhelming or cluttered. I can spot only one throw and cushion on […]
Window In A Bathroom – Bringing In Natural Light
Having a window in a bathroom, I must say is a luxury. Not all bathrooms come with a window and hence no natural light. When I lived in the US, none of the apartments I lived in, had a window in the bathroom. Neither did I have in Germany. Fortunately, when I moved to the […]
Backyard In Autumn With Outdoor Fire Pit
It’s autumn here in Europe and this year it is already quite cold. I was thinking how to still use the backyard and realized many people use outdoor fire pit or fireplace as options. If it is extreme cold and snowing – may be not, but if it is not raining and not awfully cold […]
Small But Mighty – A Sunny Swedish House
I love the way the Swedes design their houses – They pack in the maximum sunlight they can. I know how dark and difficult the winter in Sweden could be and so trying to utilize the maximum sunlight is a necessity. Especially in northern Sweden, like this small cottage in Södermalm – the cottage looks […]
Bedrooms With A View
How incredible is it to wake up in the morning with a gorgeous view or perhaps going to bed watching the stars shining or the sky playing a riot of color! Honestly I don’t really have a nice view from my bedroom but there is no harm in dreaming isn’t it? Here are 10 gorgeous […]
A Sunny Place With Plants and Moody Blue Wall Color
Hello! Happy Monday! A sunny place is always a happy place to me. I always thought that white interiors with white-washed walls reflect a lot of light and hence these are the brighter places. However, I am being proved wrong more and more these days. What’s with these small Scandinavian apartments – how do they […]
The Mountains Are Calling – A Tea Estate In Darjeeling
Happy Thursday! It’s a bright and shiny day today and as always, a gorgeous day like this gives me a good vibe. Last night, I sort of went down memory lane and revisited my childhood travels. As a child, I did not have much of an option of traveling, but I was a wanderlust. I […]
An Apartment In Central Stockholm By Refine Design Studio
Hello! Today’s weather has been a weird one – sometimes rainy and foggy and misty and you can barely see anything and right after that the Sun peeps through the cloud and makes everything shiny and gorgeous. I hope the Sun stays like that. I need the sunshine so desperately to boost my mood up. […]
