Your Home Your Style


Many folks spend considerable time, effort and money to make their home a perfect replica of some other home that they have been in awe of. At times, a professional employed to work on your home interiors, ends up making your home a showcase of his creativity and talents.

I have often come across homes that are flawlessly beautiful, tastefully done up yet the inhabitants living there, look totally out of place, its like you have walked into a lavish hotel suite - beautiful with that impersonal touch!

Your home NEEDS you, your personality, your likes, your dreams, quirks....may be not all but at least streaks of it to make it feel like an extension of YOU!

 
You need to invest TIME, THOUGHT and INTEREST more than money to create a home that is genuinely YOU, reflects your likes and tastes, conforms to your requirements both functionally and aesthetically and one you will not tire looking at in just a few months!

I take this opportunity to present to you some PERSONAL SPACES of dear friends who have generously shared pictures of their warm homes and spaces that truly reflect their spirit.

These are the homes of my dear fellow A to Z Challengers and friends who have been with me all through the month of April to cheer me on with their encouraging comments, ensuring I pulled through the challenge!

Real homes of Real people that may not be picture perfect like those in a glossy magazine, yet they ooze oodles of personal touch!  
Each of these homes is unique; they are homes that are rich in memories, spaces that speak volumes about their residents, reflecting their interests, their passion and most importantly they all have the warm glow of Home Sweet Home!



Thanks to each and every one of you lovely folks for being such sports and also for your amazing contributions to this post!

PRESENTING YOUR HOMES, YOUR STYLE...

Warm and comfortable - Esha Mookerji-Dutta's home with the lovely sofa, center-piece and the corner lighting.



Cosy and cheerful Parul Thakur's home, great colors and optimal space utilization.


A nook in Shinjini - The Modern Gypsy's home, charming and so quaint!


Serene and suave - Leanne Lecras's home, the lime-green corner recliner and the beautiful stained-glass work (by her) steal the show!

Truly a wonderful get together of your AtoZ friends this year . Their homes are truly reflective of their personalities and are pretty much what imagined these ladies would be... And of course your wonderful write up that ties all of it together. Cheers Kala and thanks for such an innovative post

wow seriously every decor looks so beautiful and homely. I can understand how much thinking and pain one has to go through to add one's own signature while decorating. Awesome idea Kala and I am so glad to have contributed to this collection. And I can steal some of the ideas from here too :D

I loved looking at all these homes. Can't even begin to choose which I like the most. But I do want to know how to get Warli painting like Paromita's home and that New York Times bean bag of Parul Thakur's home. I would also love to send you some photos of my home :)

They were all beautiful and varied (and I'm sure are reflective of their owners) thanks for including mine and giving me a little glimpse into so many other homes (including your own!) I'm going back to have another look at them all! Great way to draw it all to a conclusion Kala :)

Such amazing variety, and such beautiful homes! This post is truly inspirational! Agree 100% with you that homes must have/reflect the spirit of the owners/residents, otherwise is just so much decorated dead space :)

Thanks much for featuring mine, and for the shout out. I have enjoyed each one of your posts, you have created a handy reference for anyone looking to /decorate/redecorate/renovate. Kudos!

These are all amazing, too bad my laptop has been ditching me lately, hence I couldn't make in the post.
I am so inspired to see all the wonderful styles featured.

This is a beautiful post and concept in general. It's only been in the last few years that I have become comfortable with my true self and lifestyle and learned that means my home should reflect that. I no longer care what people think when they come over (or at least that's my goal!)

Great collage of individually unique homes! True, adding a personal touch is what makes a home a home. Thanks for the beautiful tips this A-Z, Kala. Enjoyed the visits to your blog every day.

pchhh... makes me feel like i am living in a pig sty :(

Actually some of us just lack that aesthetic sense, which is where we need someone else to tell what goes where and what looks good. I have a similar problem with choosing my wardrobe and the decor for my house.

Amazing post. One that brings me to the realization that real people can indeed have homes with good decors ... not just hotels and the rich people.

Thanks for that.

Brilliant again, and very true our homes are an extension of us. We must have what we connect with easily n not a replica of someone else's creation.
