    Bringing back colour into your home décor. And celebrating 20 years of Asian Paints ColourNext

    In this episode, we are discussing why neutral has come to signify elegance today, why is the world not a riot of colours it used to be, and why have Indians become afraid of colour in our homes. It is also the best time to have a conversation about colour because Asian Paints is announcing the Colour Of The Year and the decor trends for 2023 this month, as part of their annual initiative called ColourNext. We are talking to Manju Sara Rajan who is the editor-in-chief of Beautiful Homes India and Senior Advisor Design at Asian Paints ColourNext. First, she takes us through the purpose and significance of this initiative which is celebrating its 20 years. Then we also discuss simple ways of introducing bright colours into your home décor and the importance of the right lighting to balance these colours.

    Furniture Designer Tony Kordolia on choosing the best wood for your furniture

    Furniture Designer Tony Kordolia on choosing the best wood for your furniture

    Which type off wood is the longest lasting? Why mango wood is not the best idea for your furniture? How can you DIY simple pieces for your home? We asked Tony Kordolia, head of production at the Goa-based brand Josmo Studio, everything we could think of about wood and furniture. We also asked him about his unusual journey from MTV Roadies to industrial and furniture design. All of which started because of his love for making things, including bikes, with his own hands.
