Home- Your dwelling place, a place where your individual personality reflects in the form of colour, design & pattern. For me it has always been something that defines comfort. I grew up in Kuwait a place known for their lavish and extravagant lifestyle, so while on shopping trips to big malls that had high street garment and home decor stores with my aunt & mom, I remember us always halting at a few to check out their latest collections according to seasons. I always admired the neat work, etched prints, embellishments and their artistic arrangements. These home decor stores mostly had pieces for people with an eclectic taste. A variety to choose from!
My frequent trips to these stores gave me more knowledge about interior decor. What I learnt was that products from high end stores like "Zara Home" are mostly fabricated so as to fit into any plain white room. Certain decorative pieces such as Candle stands, mini sculptures and vases put into niches in living rooms draws attention and focuses on one part of the room making the area look less crowded. For homes based on French and English style decor vintage "Trumeau" mirrors add an edge to the whole look of the room. Choosing the right piece and right colour or even in contrast is necessary to make your home project a success.

Some people choose to decorate their homes based on one colour or one style. Some like to add a little bit of everything and give it a funky twist. The latest trend in home decor is "Quirky". With the young generation putting their foot and minds into the design world, home decor is no more same old boring. A pop of colour in art pieces is something which is in every season. Quirkbox.com is one of my favourite stores. I loved their idea and usage of Indian quirky fusion in their products .Also, India Circus by Krsna Mehta have fun and stylish pieces. Easy colours and simple designs. Statement pieces is what I would call them. Another Indian decor web portal I'm currently loving is Address Home.com . Their recently launched Summer Linen collection has a wide range of cushions all with earthy tones and gorgeous gold motifs adding that sophisticating element to every piece.
