Hi everyone… I know I have not been consistent with my blog as I got sidetracked with a few projects in hand and pursuing my passion and learning in food photography. Please click here to see my work and to know more. I am back now with a new series called “Tea Time Series” where I will feature and introduce a creative whose work I follow and admire and I am super excited about this.
Kick starting the Tea Time series with Meenakshi Kapoor, a
Mumbai based interior designer, who is the creative force behind the inspirational
blog, called “Behind that House”, who took Instagram by storm with her mind blowing reels,
beautiful posts and styling videos. I have been following her work for a long
time and I have seen her grow consistently and taking up new challenges when it
comes to home décor styling. Her Insta blog is truly a visual décor therapy.
The most striking aspect about her work is her unique, beautiful and elegant styling tips which always have a pop of gorgeous seasonal blooms and plants. Her easy to do DIYs and her simple tips on décor are another striking feature of her work, which gives wings to your imagination when it comes to home décor. She always aims to provide a fresh perspective to her audience when it comes to styling and DIY projects.
So grab a cup of tea and let’s get to know more about
Meenakshi
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I studied Chemistry and computer networking and
worked at The Taj for few years before I realized my inclination and
fascination for furnishing fabrics and interiors. So after a long hiatus in my
career while I raised two beautiful children and designed 4 different
homes.... I joined DA designs as an interior designer and started blogging
about my passion for styling and decor simultaneously
Where do
you get inspiration to do up your home?
I find inspiration in the everyday, when I
take a walk or when i travel. It could be a leaf a flower a pretty window a
medieval arch or even a tiny coconut fallen from a tree or just about anything.
What's your favorite décor style?
I don’t have a favorite style. There’s always something to learn and explore about every style that is defined in books and there’s so much to experiment with and evolve from. I feel it’s an ongoing process and mixing styles along with adding unique pieces of art to create something new each time is what keeps me ticking.
What's your favorite décor element or accent in your home?
I love my plants the most as they always add life to any corner or space.
Do you
have a favorite corner or space in your home? And why is it your favorite?
Yes, my balcony. It’s the perfect spot to
unwind and switch off.
Do you have any tips or advice for décor lovers out there?
Don’t go overboard when you go shopping for furniture or decor. You will definitely be tempted to buy furniture from one store as it’s the most convenient thing to do but allow yourself to explore and play with different styles. Also with decor accents have fewer but unique pieces of accessories that speak to you. Creating vignettes is a great way to start styling corners of your home.
