Today’s home tour screams minimalism. Vaidehi based in
California lives in this cozy apartment where there is plenty of natural light
streaming in through their large windows. Her home has an underlying current of
monochrome style with a stroke of ethnic décor and beautiful pop of colours. She has
layered her home with beautiful rugs, textiles and home décor. Her love for
traditional and ethnic accessories can be seen in her décor style. Have a look
at her beautiful apartment and let’s hear more from her.
Tell us a bit about yourself…
I am a Software Engineer,
and ended up in Silicon Valley pursuing a dream to be a part of software
advancement surrounded with Apple, Google, Facebook and so many more
headquarters. During my masters, it was first time I was miles away from home,
so friends became family. That's when I found my partner. We decided to start a
life together and got engaged in March17. It only made sense for us to
share a home (instead of waiting another year until marriage) considering sky
high living costs in California. That's when this apartment happened. We moved
here in June and it's hard to believe it's just been over three months.
Where do you get
inspiration to do up your home?
I mainly look up Instagram,
pinterest and blogs for inspirations. Some of my favorite houses on insta are
@pinkzpassion, @shweta_hm @lifeacrossthesevenseas @thedecomania. I love going
through home tours on blogs and youtube. Kate la vie’s house is a dream on
pinterest. I also like watching Mr. Kate’s room transformations on
youtube.
What's your favorite
décor style?
Oddly I am a confused animal
when it comes to décor style. I like ethnic, boho, modern, mid-century,
vintage, eclectic. Basically I like everything and anything that is appealing
to my eyes. However, I find the houses curated with artifacts from all
over the world and fusion of different traditions so much more interesting.
@mogradesigns by Sandeep Inamke is one such example. And I am also drawn
towards ethnic décor that involves brass and Indian textiles.
What is your favorite part of your home?
The day-bed by the window in our living area has to be
our favorite. It is actually a two old student twin beds (mine and my
finance’s) stack one over the other. It is my favorite unwinding spot.
Any tips or advice on decorating a house?
I am definitely not a pro in this area, although I have
learnt a few small things setting up my house. I have learnt that you don’t
have to spend a fortune on décor. Keep it minimal, kept it clean and organized with
a touch of greenery always look beautiful. We are in a rental, and I have
always seen people being afraid to do much in rentals. However, there are so
many ways to decorate without harming any agreement, so there is absolutely no
reason to hold back. Another thing is don’t forget to consider likes and
interests of people you will be sharing your space with. And lastly, pinterest
is a very helpful tool to create targeted ideas and mood-boards.
Thank you Vaidehi for sharing your décor inspiration and your beautiful space with me and my readers!
