HOME
A few weeks ago, Northern India — including power centre New Delhi
— was hit by one of the worst power failures in recent history. And the
fact that it was repeated just a day later didn’t help matters much. Not
TURF!
a capital (pun intended) situation at all! However, what it did bring to
light is that electricity is at a premium now and energy consumption
and conservation should be buzzwords, if they aren’t already. Those who
walk out of rooms without switching off the lights/ACs/fans should be
given a crash course in electri-quette and others should be steered gently
towards environmentally friendly and energy saving options...
Speaking of which, in our Lighting Special, Aditi Gaitonde’s feature on
how a dark and gloomy room can be given bright and cheerful accents to
illuminate it, instead of installing a gazillion bulbs, will definitely get you
thinking! As will Vanita Arora’s tips on how you can effectively cut down
on your energy consumption at home. She has also found some chic
styles to illuminate your outdoor area, whether it’s a pool, porch or patio,
plus the latest lighting trends and accessories... So go on and add some
panache to your lighting fixtures, while effectively being an energy saver
as well.
While we are on the topic of ‘saving’, do browse through our feature on
e-stores that have a plethora of home décor goodies. With great payment
options and a variety that’s truly jawdropping, this one’s for all savvy
shoppers! And don’t forget to keep an eye out for the special offer inside...
With an earthy real home, a truly relaxing Goan getaway and introducing
a new feature — restaurant reviews — we have just the right package for
you... Happy reading!
Cheers!

AN IDEA IS BORN Architect Kapil

Architects are always waiting for Mehta believes
that perfect time when the mind is that perfection

functional and aesthetics. For me, a blissful blend
designing a residential building of functionality
is a process of understanding the and aesthetics

him/her in reaching a justified IMPRESSIONS

meetings, discussions, arguments SEBASTIAN
and appreciations later, a design IMAGES
concept is created. We are more than KAPIL MEHTA
just architects in our projects; we AND ASSOCIATES
become our client's guide, teacher,
stylists and finally the designer for
their house.
MY DESIGN LIFE
About 20 years of designing
private residential bungalows
has given me immense
satisfaction. My designs
have always been a result
of an in depth study of a
family's dreams and desires.
I recall a project for an Indian
family residing in Medan,
North Sumatra, Indonesia,
where the client used to
travel a lot. A small nuclear
family having a very large
plot with ample open space
and a rather small useable
area. We designed a small
building, that stood tall and
blended well with the vicinity.
According to me, that was
our best project.

Designing a structure within the specific building

be the ultimate goal of an architect. Design a good
residential building is a great challenge, mainly
because it involves satisfying your client's vision and

You know what they say ... When
genius strikes, the best time to
shape the idea is now! Precisely what went on
in the minds of India’s finest wedding planners,
Candice Pereira and Jarret D’Abreo, partners
and co-founders of Marry Me — The Wedding
Planners. The couple worked tirelessly for
a month conceptualising and building their
gift and wedding store which was launched
successfully on 11 August.
“Every inch of the store has been custom-made

to fit our vision. The final result is better than we expected,”
smiles Candice Pereira, Co-owner of Marry Me — The Store

STORE PROFILE
STOCKED UP
The idea of gifting store
made perfect sense to
Candice as her wedding
planning business involves
sourcing beautiful things
from all around world,
which her friends would
pick up from her. All the
products from candles and
stationary to cushions and
decorative water cans are
reasonably priced in the
range of `50 – `1500. The
store also plans to stock
fresh flowers and promises
to customise almost
anything to suit their
customers’ fancy.
EYE-CANDY
We simply loved the design
sensibilities which Candice
insists she inherited
from her father Allan (the
creative mind behind the
restaurant’s décor) and
the impeccable execution
of it all by her husband
Jarret. The white walls
and display shelves along
with the focus wall in
pastel floral wallpaper
lend an air of elegance to
the li’l store. A lot of the
display tables have been
upcycled from old family
heirlooms. We particularly
loved the sewing machine-
turned-table, a novel idea
indeed! The non-plastered
naked walls sync perfectly
with the antique replica
bench and tables. Keeping
with the theme, they also
added an eclectic cycle
planter and small planters
resembling a white picket
fence. A must visit!

with a dimly lit room! We've got a few simple decor tricks that will

A smart trick to make a dim room light
up would be to use reflective paint or
wallpaper with reflective elements.

LIGHTING SPECIAL
CURTAIN CALL
To get rid of low light situations,
simply bring down those heavy
drapes. Replace thick curtains with
blinds or shutters, that make sure
plenty of light trickles in during the
day and gives you privacy at night.
Pranayam by Puri Construction Pvt Ltd
WHITE WASHED
As clichéd as this might sound, the best
way to make a room brighter is to go
all-white on the walls and ceiling. The
calming and inherent reflective nature
of white will give an instant lift to a dark
room. Accessories with accents of a
single colour add panache to the space!
Hunter Douglas Window Fashion

LIGHTING SPECIAL
MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL

The classic trick of using a large mirror
to make the room bigger and brighter
still holds ground for a good reason —
because it works like a charm! If you are
blessed with window, place the mirror
on the opposite wall. Hanging a large
mirror opposite the room's door also
creates an illusion of a larger space!

Choose furnishing and fabrics with
a glossy finish or a sophisticate

MAINTENANCE TIPS
1. Wash walls with a soft sponge and
mild detergent twice a year.
2. For distempered walls,
minimum pressure should be
applied while cleaning.
3. If any dampness is observed, check for
the source and rectify it immediately to
prevent flaking and peeling of the paint.
4. Remove stains and dust from a
painted surface with a clean white
cloth or sponge dipped in mild
detergent. After cleaning, wash away

And celebrate nature

it definitely does, in
a fresh and subtle
style. With a bold
lettered signage at the
entrance against the
backdrop of a giant
Neem tree, colourful
furniture and unique
lighting arranged in
an unconventional
manner, this outlet
extends warm vibes
which instantly
envelop you and draw
you inside. Spread
across a generous area
of around 2,200 sq.ft,
the outlet is literally
under the shade of the
Neem tree, which is
also host to unusual
lighting in the garb of
bulbs inside stockings!
“Surrounded by foliage
and natural light
streaming in through
the cast iron grillwork
offset with glass, our
aim is to create a green
retreat for guests,” add
franchise partners,
Manharan Singh and
Samrat Nigam.

The restaurant, designed by

Amith Chabbra, Livin Colors
Design Co. is actually an
example of how interesting
interiors can be created in
an existing space, utilising
elements that are ‘on-hand’.

“We took a cue from

the location rather
than starting with a
pre-conceived vision.
The idea was to make
a space where one can
escape. We have played
around with natural
elements.
We have retained
Mocha’s signature style
— exposed bricks on
the floor — that blend
into the seating of
cast and wrought iron
furniture enveloped
in LED lighting to
give a warm glow.
The flooring is all
stone and one wall is
quartzite stone. A zen
corner is encased with
wooden panelling and
Japanese-style seating,”
he explains. Of course,
a glance around and
it’s impossible to believe
that this used to be a
dilapidated shed!
What works here is
the absence of glaring
edges, so that all the
elements have a natural
fluidity.

can create a mood by
adding soft, warm lights DESIGN TI
and strewing floor
lamps around the dining
area. Try placing some
candles on the tabletop,
especially when one
is entertaining. Low-
hanging chandeliers,
especially those
that can provide
incandescent
illumination are a
great option. And for
a natural environment,
foliage or potted plants
are good add-ons.
• While designing your
kitchen, it’s important
to maintain a functional
work flow in the
space. Emphasise the
‘working triangle’, which
includes your sink,
hob and refrigerator.
Whether your kitchen
is L-shaped, an
island kitchen or a
U-shaped room, a
work triangle that is
free of obstruction
from point-to-point
should be established.
To create a warm
kitchen, you could also
opt for patterned tiles
with floral motifs.

LIGHT PLAN
Zolijns
• Apply lighting
schemes that
progress from
the interior to the
exterior.
• Lighting around
the house needs
a corresponding
lighting design. Plan
accordingly – above
patios, pathways,
fences, water
bodies, driveways or
backyards.
• Choose the correct
sized fixture for the
scale of your home by
visualising how it will
appear from afar.
• Landscape lights
help accentuate
architectural details
after sunset.
• Selecting a suitable
transformer and plan
a safe outdoor electric
circuit.
• Decide the spots for
your garden lights
and mark the route
for the cable to link
them.
• Consider the intensity
of the lights.
OUTDOOR LIGHTING
OPTIONS
• Bollard lights are
architectural lights,
which are short,
upright and ground-
mounted, ideally used
for walkways or steps.
• Wall lights or post
lights are used to
illuminate extensive
areas and are best
suited for exterior
walls or backyards.
• Path or ground lights
