How I'm Working from Home

AT SUCH A FRAGILE TIME WHEN UNPRECEDENTED CIRCUMSTANCES LOOM OVER US, IT'S MY GREAT FORTUNE TO HAVE THE COMFORT OF SUNLIGHT, FRESH AIR AND GREEN OUTDOORS. BLESSED!

- Karishma Bajaj, Co-founder, Red Blue & Yellow

Solitude

A world without pause, that's how most of us lived anyway. Time to change that! Where better to start the rejuvenation process than with a little me time. Presenting, designers and their hallowed corners.

SHABNAM GUPTA

Interiors Designer & Founder, The Orange Lane

Staying Grounded

The original poster child of Indian maximalism, she is fearless when it comes to her designing for her projects. At home Shabnam is laidback and the picture of calm. She believes the home should exude a calm aura, and plays music through the day. Shabnam has designed her home so that natural light is filtering in, and green pockets are enjoyed everywhere.

I STRONGLY BELIEVE IN TAKING A PAUSE. WHENEVER SOMETHING IS GETTING TO ME, I DO DEEP-BREATHING EXERCISES. IT HELPS KEEP ME CALM. MY HOME IS MY HAPPY PLACE.
