Cover Story from ELLE DECOR India's new issue #AprilMay2024
Pavitra Rajaram’s eclectic home in Mumbai reveals layers of cultural influences, art, history and vignettes that have shaped the aesthete’s life and callings.
Purely by virtue of spatiality and decor, the 3,800 sq ft home is a smorgasbord of colours, textures, art and conversations. “It’s a myth that a designer knows exactly what they want to do with their home from day one. People evolve and homes evolve along with them and sometimes you need to grow into your home,” says Pavitra. The ecosystem entails a seemingly serendipitous coming together of textiles, eclectic furniture, objets d’art alongside some great art on the walls. In the backdrop, Pierre Frey’s wistful wallpaper shines through, courtesy of her longstanding tryst with Nilaya by Asian Paints. But what is Pavitra’s secret to curating a home at the intersection of craft and culture? “It’s something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue,” she concludes.
