It is customary to say that the house is the mirror of the soul. Considering that this is a totally true statement, it is natural that a man who’s achieved fame and wealth mixing music would be drawn to a house that’s a hodgepodge of archetectural styles. “All we know” is that the home of Alex Pall, half of the Chainsmokers - a Grammy-winning DJ duo- was built in the 1930s and had renovations done in the 1980s and 90s which added a dash of industrial edge. The mashup is what appealed to the DJ and he turned to interior designer Peti Lau to help him decorate his Hollywood Hills house. Pall had already installed the nature-themed wallpaper and the orange-velvet couch in the family room when Lau began decorating…

One of the first modernist townhouses in Manhattan, this iconic property is rich with history, sophistication and postmodern elegance. Sherman M. Fairchild, a noted inventor and businessman, hired the architects William Hamby and George Nelson to create a home as adventurous as he was. They succeeded and the townhouse remains an architectural tour de force unlike any other in New York. The building’s red granite façade was completed in 1981 and hints at the wonders inside. The 9,440 sqft, 25 ft wide mansion is defined by a three-story great room, with a span of travertine walls illuminated from a glass and steel skylight. A zigzagging system of ramps facilitates the movement through the light-filled home. The result is an airy alternative to a traditional townhouse and the perfect setting for…

Archana Shivanandanm is an entrepreneur- she owns an event management company in Mumbai called Seventeen Events- and a plant stylist also. Her Instagram page @plantstylistmumbai started off as a passion project, which led to her studying more about plants and experimenting with different spaces to see how they grow. Her posts of her plant babies gained popularity and she started helping her friends to style their spaces with plants and hence began the business. Archana takes only medium or large projects for homes, offices or other commercial spaces. She believes if someone has a small budget, they should invest the money in buying good quality plants and pots, and consult her videos/tips for DIYs. An entirely new concept of interior styling with plants is gaining popularity, in which Archana is…

“Floral prints and patterns bring the beauty and tranquillity of nature indoors. Visually the natural landscape has so much to offer in terms of colour and pattern. There’re not many people who don’t feel the benefits of the good old dose of the ‘outdoors’, so why not bring some of that positive energy into the home with prints and patterns which capture the innate beauty that nature has to offer.” ~ Carley Bean, Design Director, Cole & Son “Florals are an evergreen trend in home décor.
