An organic gardener herself, Ipshita has lined her house with plants — from the balcony to the windowsills and her backyard. Follow Ipshita and add quirk to your set-up by using colourful mugs as planters on your windowsills. For her backyard she has picked the readily available wicker baskets {aka jhuri} as her planters. While these are readily available in the local stores, get your fill of gardening supplies and plants at Green Mall in Thakurpukur.
This list of home décor hacks and tips can go on forever and we’d run out of space to fit in all deets. But here’s a list of some go-to stores and people that Ipshita shared with us to help you deck your crib.
