A self-confessed lover of old buildings, actor Sonam Kapoor (@sonamkapoor), initially didn’t love the idea of moving away from her stucco building in Notting Hill and into a condominium in Mumbai, “but, as I spent more time in it, the double-height ceilings and the sweep of the lateral space began to seduce me. I quietly relished the idea of creating a spectacle from sheer nothingness.” The roots of such design derring-do can be traced back in Kapoor’s DNA to a matriarchal line of women with a talent for interiors. It was, in fact, her maternal grandmother who lit the pilot flame of her aesthetic interests. “She was a tiny woman but so full of vim,” Kapoor recalls, “She used to race in her Maruti Suzuki to Dadar flower market at 5am to fill her house with scents. She adored classical music, art, and carpets. Having come from a pre-partition Sindhi family in Karachi who had to start over again, my grandmother had a refinement in her tastes. It is hard to understate her influence on me.” She finishes alight with the warmth of the memories. “Besides my nani, my aunt [AD100 interior designer] Kavita Singh (@kavitasinghinteriors) has been the main voice within these walls, alongside my own.” Kapoor invited her celebrated aunt to collaborate with her on the new project. The pair threw themselves into transforming the contemporary blank canvas into, in Singh’s words, “the homage to Indian craftsmanship that my niece has been imagining for a long time”.

In her search for maximalist cocooning, Kapoor (@sonamkapoor) sought out artisans and designers away from the madding crowd and it is exactly this touch of the esoteric that sets her home apart. “I know some of my contemporaries will find my taste too grown-up,” she reflects, “but my approach was twofold: firstly, I would like to be an ambassador for Indian decorative arts, and secondly, I wanted to emulate, with a fresh slant, the houses I grew up in.” Over the course of a year, aunt and niece took on the 7,500-square-foot space and began a process of layering to give the impression of a home lived in for generations. Draping a vast window with waterfalls of butter-yellow silk drew the eye to the scale of the living space while durries by From Jaipur with Love brought a cleansing zing to the rich palette. The renowned Jaipur-based fresco artist Vikas Soni (@vikkasotheartist) was brought in to hand-paint the walls, glorious gold-embroidered cushions were restored in Lucknow by Max Modesti (@max.modesti) of Les Ateliers 2M (@2m_ateliers), and heirloom Kashmiri Jamawar shawls found space in the living room. “I am the fourth-generation of women in love with the crafts of India; this home is as much a celebration of them as our personal space; and beyond them, beyond me, all those nameless artisans who have worked on every single thread, tile, brushstroke that makes this space so very beautiful. It is a love song to them.” Read the full cover story at the link in bio CREDITS Writer: Cosmo Brockway (@cosmobrockway) Photographer: Björn Wallander (@bjornwallander) Styling: Nikhil Mansata (@nikhilmansata) Creative Direction: Dhun Cordo (@dhuncordo) and Nikhil Mansata (@nikhilmansata) Interior Styling: Samir Wadekar (@sam_wade11) Visuals Editor: Harshita Nayyar (@harshitanayyar_) Fashion Assistant: Roshni Sukhlecha (@roshnisukhlecha) Hair: Hiral Bhatia (@bbhiral) Make-up: Namrata Soni (@namratasoni) Florals: Manisha Pamnani (@floral_stems)
