It is tough to put your finger on any one distinctive vibe. And that is actually the most remarkable feature of this charming 1,600 sq ft apartment in the quiet neighbourhood of Khar in Mumbai. As you walk through the home, the mood is eclectic. A mixture of textures, styles and colours make this space edgy and casually lived-in at the same time. Noorein Kapoor's young, newly-wed clients, Karan Mehta and Krutika Patel, flooded her with their Pinterest mood boards, a lot of which became the inspiration for this house. "Let's just address the elephant in the room first," smiles the interior designer who is also the creative director at her namesake studio Noorein Kapoor Design (NKD), "Social media is a given today. The use of Pinterest and Instagram is common, almost unspoken between designers and clients." In this case, it eliminated certain stages of the design process and became an interesting gateway for the three of them to edit their story using these concepts as a base and then making it their own.
