DIY Homes: A Peek Into Richa's Home That Weaves Tradition With Modernity

Richa's home is a tapestry of tradition and eclectic charm. Her entryway pays homage to mythical figures like Lord Rama, Goddess Durga, and Lord Ganesha, with legendary stories captured in framed photographs from different parts of the globe. People often mistake it for a temple, she says, but it’s actually a special area in her home that showcases her unique style, also featuring mementos from her travels. 

Her dining area, on the other hand, features organic furniture, from lighting made of banana fibre to a room divider crafted from sustainable materials. The lighting plays with the seasons, offering a moody, ambient glow that shifts with the warmth of the room. 

Her favourite part of the home is the bar, which is adorned with knick-knacks and collectibles from around the world. The bar serves as a space for reflection and conversation, where she enjoys spending time with friends and family.

The living area exudes charm and sophistication, with owl-shaped cushions, ambient lamps, and neutral-toned sofas. Another favourite spot is her balcony — what she calls her "sit-out area" — where she gathers friends on pleasant Bombay days or relaxes with a book while soaking in the sun. It's a cosy corner, brimming with greenery, from potted plants to lush foliage. All in all, Richa's home is the perfect fusion of modern aesthetics and tradition.
