Moving into a new space is always a mix of excitement and introspection. I recently found myself standing in an empty room, surrounded by bare walls and untouched corners, wondering: how do I make this place feel like home? Is it the interiors, the furniture carefully chosen, the colours on the walls, or even the alignment of the rooms according to vastu?
I realised, as I unpacked boxes and rearranged memories, that home is never just about design, it’s about energy. It’s in the laughter shared over morning tea, the quiet moments of reflection, and the warmth that radiates from the people who inhabit it. The cushions, the rugs, the curated décor – they all matter, but they are silent if not complemented by the vibrations of those who bring life into the space.
Interior design gives a home its voice, but people give it a soul. The harmony between aesthetics and emotion, between structure and sentiment, is what truly transforms a house into a sanctuary.
This issue is a celebration of that alchemy. From spaces that radiate serenity to corners that spark creativity, we explore how interiors can enhance the intangible magic of home. We also explore what men think about home interiors. And whether it’s a small apartment or a sprawling house, we uncover what truly matters to people.
As you turn these pages, I hope you feel inspired to design with intention, but more importantly, to fill your spaces with energy, joy, and warmth. Because in the end, a home is not measured by square footage or the elegance of a sofa – it’s measured by the harmony of the souls it shelters, and the memories it holds.
Here’s to homes that hug you, spaces that inspire you, and the people who make every corner unforgettable.
