Celebrating #WorldInteriorsDay with #AsianPaints
Hey guys,
If you follow me on Snapchat, you must have seen that day before yesterday I went to the Asian Paints Signature Colour Store in Bandra to celebrate World Interiors Day with them. Actually ‘World Interiors Day’ is today 28th May, but they had a small little workshop 2 days earlier with Film Production Designer Shruti Gupte.
Shruti Gupte has designed for movies like Aisha, Taare Zameen Par, Khoobsurat, The Lunch Box to name a few. She talked about how one can draw inspiration from homes and office spaces designed in popular film and incorporate them in your house and how colours and designs can change your entire space.
The workshop was centered on the theme ‘Intelligent & Inspirational Interiors, from Silver Screens to Your Home’. This Colour Store initiative offered consumers the unique opportunity to bring to their homes, the look and feel that they love, admire and aspire for, from their favorite films. The brand is determined to encourage consumers to take that leap and be experimental and creative with their décor choices.
Shruti possesses a deep understanding of the style and sensibilities of the modern-day consumers. Through examples of her films, she covered various aspects from designing homes of characters in movies, to tips on how consumers can use designs seen in movies as an inspiration while decorating their homes.
She also gave examples from Khoobsurat, Aisha and Taare Zameen Par. For eg.: Vikram Rathore in Khoobsurat had a sad twist in his past and that’s why he had that ‘khadoos’ personality. His room was monochromatic, grey, boring yet he was very organised, so things were in place with proper lighting. Whereas Minnie i.e. Sonam Kapoor was loud and out there. She had a colourful personality which reflected in her room which was lilac and/or lavender both in Aisha and Khoobsurat. When she came to the palace and was given a simple guest room, she immediately made it colourful with all her bright scarves and clothes around the bed, on the lamp, etc.
She mentioned how colors and textures are not to be feared but embraced as part of our personality. How our personal and professional environments are an extension of our personality and should inspire our days, help create memories or convey our aspirations. It’s a simple decision to step out of our comfort zone and experiment. Especially these days, when Asian Paints Color Store allows us to realize our dreams before we choose to make it permanent.
We also had a small activity where we had to pick 4-5 different things from pictures to wall colour to fabric to make our very own mood board. This is what I made 🙂

We also got a DIY kit with some colors, sheets, etc. to experiment and make something of our own, let’s see what I come up with 😀
