DIY Homes: Anika's Space Is A Masterclass In Furnishing An Open Floor Home

Anika Mittal Dhawan, founder of Mold Design Studio, lives in a space that redefines modern minimalism. Her home follows a horizontal open floor layout to feel expansive rather than being interspersed with rooms. Unlike the conventional way, her home's central point is a bold dining area with a rectangular table set that brings the entire home together. Forget creaky doors, Anika’s abode has folding glass doors that open and close seamlessly; a clever way to maximise A/C cooling or ensure privacy. The interiors heavily lean into earthy tones, with a striking exposed brick wall that flows consistently throughout the house along with a warm pine wood ceiling. Anika has smartly played with colours, adding subtle pops of them through plush furnishings. The true highlight? An indoor-outdoor connection facilitated by her open floor design.
