Home style Tour with Rajni in Hyderabad: A home with a unique style and warm colours by Rajni

Here is a home with a unique style. Rajni has chosen warm colours throughout her home, interspersed with neutrals and pops of bright! I am always fascinated when people veer away from the conventional in their decor choices! Rajni’s style is like that, and not only has she managed to be different, she has also managed a magazine-worthy outcome!

Let’s look at the rest of her home!

Home style Tour with Rajni in Hyderabad: Living area mixed with eclectic and rustic/farmhouse style

What does she call her style? Rajni says, “It’s difficult to put it into one particular category. I would rather say it’s more eclectic and rustic /farmhouse mixed.” We love it Rajni!

Let’s understand her style better

Here’s a welcome message from the hosts!

What and who inspires you?
I get my inspiration from within. I have this severe urge to do something new every day and that usually culminates into making something new or styling something.

What are your go-to decor hacks? Say, someone gives you a space, and a limited time to set things up. the furniture is in place – what would you focus on to bring any room alive?

Home style Tour with Rajni in Hyderabad: the side table is decorated with some candles in nice candle holders/votives some fresh flower arrangements in vase or just petals in a copper bowl

I would start my way from down to up i.e first I would get a nice area rug and then work on styling vignettes on coffee and side table with some candles in nice candle holders/votives some fresh flower arrangements in vase or just petals in a copper bowl, some books stacked  together, I would then work on furnishings like putting more cushions with textures and adding a throw to give that cozy feel, lastly some nice warm light in the form of floor lamp or a pendant lamp and adding green plants (either hanging in macrame holders or in beautiful ceramic pots)

Where do you shop?-

1. For furniture: Pepperfry, local markets and DIY
2. Furnishings: HomeCentre, Westside and local market
3. Home decor stuff: Amazon, local markets and exhibitions

My favourite place! This is where our family spends maximum time together. I love to play with colours and textures of furnishings on the couch. The rug chosen for this area is a Kilim rug with bold colours. It goes really well with the blue walls and rest of the décor

A clever way to demarcate spaces!

Home style Tour with Rajni in Hyderabad: the partition between formal sitting space and rest of the house to be more open

I always wanted the partition between formal sitting space and rest of the house to be more open, feel a part of home so designed this partition of old reclaimed window. When you look closely each window has a different element like one has mesh, other has iron rods and some have glass but arranged in a different manner to make it interesting.
