We loved the bright elements of your Casa Pop collection. Tell us all about the kitsch décor pieces available there.
Casa Pop is the prêt diffusion line of my flagship brand Casa Paradox. The collection has the intent of high voltage living that injects a punch of spice, drama and colour. The mood of the trend is buoyant, young and effervescent, drawing inspiration from the culture on India. The influences are a reflection of the interpretation of new-age cultural blends in India.

Beginning at a price range of Rs.2,000, the décor pieces give to the consumer some glamorous options to add to their personal space.

Tell us about your design sensibilities.
I’ve always believed that you have to observe everything around you, whether it is interiors, architecture, film, art, fashion or natural environment and then come up with your version of reality. I have never been good at following a trend. I look at trends and then try and give it a unique touch. New colours and imagery have never emerged seasonally for me and the trends that I focus on are that of the moment, a reflection of the person that I am.

What is your idea of an ideal home?
An ideal home for me is one that is bespoke and complements the unique persona and requirements of each individual living in it. The house should have a mix of some ageless trends and clever details so as to not only reflect the resident’s personality but to also always be a design inspiration.
Being a luxury space design expert, tell us how we can add designer touches to our homes.
The best way to make a change to your space without altering the base is to infuse colour to liven up your surroundings. Add some abstract lighting accents and stock up on contemporary art pieces to make your house a design haven. Incorporate subtle hints of nature with the use of plants and water in your surroundings to give it a holistic feel. Accentuate the décor with scented candles in antique Victorian teacups and vases to infuse nonchalant glamour.
