Recreating Sonam Kapoor's Mumbai Home On A Budget

Printed rugs can brighten up a room in the most visually appealing way. Sonam used the majority of Jaipuri rugs to make her home aesthetically intriguing and it worked well. Beyond the visual appeal, rugs also provide warmth and comfort, making the home feel, well, homely. This OBSESSIONS rug with a vintage feel is the ideal floor covering—it looks good and works well!

Pro-Tip: Here's how you can pick the right rug for your home!

If you are a maximalist but also have a knack for keeping things royally rich around you, zardozi embroidery is the way to go. Sonam's cushion covers in the living room are ornated by metallic zari threads that really make the entire aura scream luxury. Colours like gold and maroon can further glorify the space. 

One thing that really stood out for me when I saw the Sonam's guest bedroom was that she used a writing chest. I'm still speculating how could it be functional, but it really adds a lot of character. Using or repurposing old trunks has become the norm in recent years, which I am delighted about. This one from Living With Elan is not as similar in colour, but you can always have it painted or modify the colourway to match this IT piece.

What I used to read in Indian classical literature is honestly what Sonam's master bedroom looks like. It's not just the walls and vases; the Jharokha, a stone window located directly over her bed, is the main focal point of the room. I found a similar one from Lakkadhaara, so don't forget to thank me later!

Sonam ensured that her home reflected not only Indian but also global diversity. She filled her bedroom shelves with Chinese vases, a kind of art that dates back to the 14th century. The colour scheme is quite boho, so if you also want to stick to two contrasting colours, this is how you can go about it. 

Whether it's the bar area (like it is at Sonam's home) or any central wall that has to be highlighted by statement-making pieces, covering it with fans is a unique and artistic approach. Sonam used ancient fans from Madras. While I couldn't find an exact replica of it, I did find a lovely handwoven bamboo fan. Trust me, it will make its own statement!

Face figurines are becoming very popular as go-to home decor accessories. They can be used as collectable items to display with a stack of books. The one I prefer is from CasaGold. It is versatile since it can be used as both an incredible accent and a table lamp. Win-win, right?
