Use a console as an accent

We are here for first impressions and your entryway is the first thing people see on their way in. Create a slick start with a stylish console. And if it comes with drawers, even better - easy to stash those keys, wallet, etc. Dress it up with some photoframes, candles, your favourite art and some planters even, to reflect your decor style.

Red Alert

The latest outpost of Farzi cafe in Hyderabad designed by Ameet Mirpuri is a vibrant rendition that tops its previous avatar. At the heart of the new design is the 100x16ft library that hosts about 6000 books, handpicked for the space. With that as the focus, quirky stage backdrops fashioned with LED ladders and a fun monochrome mural tie it all together. A burgundy bar stretches from the indoors to the new outdoor area giving it a seamless feel. ameetmirpuri.com

Colour code your books

Your bookshelf can make for an arresting display. You don’t always need a whole bunch of accessories to bring it alive. Simply segregating them by the colour of the spine and stacking them in sets, in varying heights look stylish. Borderline OCD, we don’t think so!

Go glossy for glamour
