New Launch: Morphy Richards’ Global Range #ConversationStarters

Hi guys,

Few days ago I attended the Morphy Richards’ new launch in India. They brought their global range of products in India.

Prism collection

Morphy Richards is a premium kitchen and home appliances brand. They launched their global range i.e. Redefine, Prism and Total Control. Morphy Richards is known for their smart technology and innovative designs.

Mr. Shekhar Bajaj, MD, Bajaj Electricals and Mr. Anant Bajaj, JMD, Bajaj Electricals presented the new Morphy Richards range to the press and media.

Redefine

Redefine is the new premium, highly innovative product group by Morphy Richards. Driven by principles of innovation and providing exceptional quality, the range is designed to fulfil your need for brilliantly performing products that have equal aesthetic prowess. The USP of the range is the Intelligent ThermoGlass technology that allows you to clearly see your bread being toasted/water being boiled to perfection. I absolutely loved the see through toaster, it definitely is a conversation starter at your home 😀

Prism

Prism collection is a leading iconic design piece for those who do not worry about going against the crowd. The USP of the range is the most striking design with textured finish and vibrant colors and design which is sure to make a statement in your kitchen. Prism collection has to be my favourite in terms of looks. Bright yellow and red toasters and kettles can make any kitchen look strikingly beautiful!

Total Control

The smartest amongst the lot is the Total Control Collection which has a range of products enabling you to prepare food just the way you like it. It uses Smart Response Technology which intelligently controls the motor in a variety of ways, providing the right level of power regardless of the mixture. It will enable you to effortlessly prepare everything from soups and sauces, pestos and cakes delivering exactly the right amount of power as and when you need it. Total Control range is quite multi-functional, one device can be used for a number of uses and for making varied dishes.

All the devices were presented beautifully with the yummy food around and we clicked number of pictures. The whole set up was beautiful!

We also saw Chef Rushina Ghildiyal use all of the appliances in a demo later on. From the soup maker to the stand mixer, toaster, kettle and the table blender (which you do not need to hold from the top, it’s hands free!) The best part about the toaster is that you can do 4 slices together and each side i.e. 2 can be kept at a different setting according to how you like your toast, light or crisp. The stand mixer for dough and soup maker are also very time saving, as you just add in the ingredients, set the time and go about finishing your other work.

We were divided into two teams and we used the appliances ourselves and had 3-4 different activities to do. Beating eggs, making mocktails and smoothies, toasting bread, we did it all. Our team won 😀

Priced between Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 30,000 these products will be made available in the Indian market starting first week of September. They are available for pre-order already.

I am definitely looking forward to it. What about you? Did you like the range? Let me know your favourite in the comments below.

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 😀

For those who are always looking for new ideas to do up your personal space with all that’s in vogue and colorful, visit the Asian Paints’ Colour Store, Bandra and you can discuss with the team there, experiment your thoughts and you might come up with something exactly in your mind.

The Asian Paints Colour Store does events on design for consumers so if you are interested, you can reach out and share your details at the store and you would be informed about future events.

Do you take inspiration from movies? Do you experiment with your space?

Create #StatementFurniture Pieces at Asian Paints Signature Store

Create #StatementFurniture Pieces at Asian Paints Signature Store

Hi guys,

I attended Asian Paints Blogger’s Meet last week where we visited the Asian Paints Signature Store in Bandra and got the entire experience of how one can customise their wooden furniture to make it a statement piece.

The basic idea here is to transform furniture that we have in our homes so that they become statement pieces that express our style and personality.

When it comes to colour, there are infinite possibilities and Asian Paints brings them all on wood for us. You can choose whatever colour you like and give it a completely different look. ‘Colour On Wood‘ can make a piece of furniture completely your own which reflects your personality and everyone wants their home and/or at least their rooms to reflect their personality.

I definitely suggest heading to the Asian Paints Signature store to experience it all first hand and you can select any colour you want and you can see how the final outcome would be within a second, no longer imagining how it would turn out to be and many a times people end up not liking the final product. Here you see first, select, change and only then it would be worked upon.

We also had some activities where we divided into teams of 3 at first and then it teams of 4. We had to scan our favourite pieces from the store and then later we had to design a piece of furniture on paper using sketch pens.

How would you express your style with a Statement piece you ask, you can rework and redesign your old furniture piece or buy a new one designed exclusively by you. Change the color, vinyl, laminate, etc. You can even add a color coated glass on top of your furniture. Or the new Asian Paints Woodtech Polyster which looks and feels like a glass with the high shine glossiness and finish. There are different finishes you can work with like PU, PU Palette, Emporio, Emporio PU Palette, etc. My favourite has to be the marble finish vinyl/laminate, so you have your wooden furniture but with a marble look 🙂

I had submitted my old wooden side table and look how Asian Paints used their ‘Colour on Wood’ and gave so many different ideas in which I can refurbish this piece.

Deepa also took us around the entire store and showed us different parts of home that were done using ‘Colour on Wood’ and how each piece in that made a statement. From the bedroom to the dining area to the kids’ room, all was fabulously done. One can take some of these ideas and customize according to their preferences to create something totally new.

Asian Paints is now taking one city at a time and creating statement pieces that reflect that city’s culture & traditions so that people who have migrated feel ‘at home’ away from home. It’s a beautiful concept and we saw the Kerala inspired ‘Ormacheppu‘ which is all ready and done. Next they are working on Tamil Nadu and soon you will see furniture inspired from every city in India.

Not just Welcome, Impress your Guests

Not just Welcome, Impress your Guests

Hi guys,

With festivals around and guests coming in to visit, we all love to make up our home. Here are 5 tips that will not only freshen up your living space, but will also leave a lasting impression on the guests.

1.    Welcome guests in style.

The first part every guest sees is the entrance. Add potted plants at the entrance. This will make your home refreshing and inviting. Plus plants always spread a positive aura around.

2.    Get some space.

Want some more room for your room? Just add mirrors to different walls. A strategically placed mirror reflects light and can make a small area seem much larger! Works like magic, try that.

 3.    A small change to leave a big impact.

Sometimes, a little change in your interiors can leave your guests speechless. Don’t move everything around. Try swapping a chair, sofa or just brighten the lights. One quirky piece of furniture can also do the trick.

4.    Add to the charm.

Say goodbye to boring. Dress up your drawer handles with colorful ribbons, paint legs of an old chair or cover old boxes with wrapping paper. You can even reuse the plastic bottles as flower vases by spray painting them. There are so many ways to DIY your old stuff, check Pinterest for some home decor DIY and get inspired.

5.    Let the kitchen do the talking

A clean & hygienic kitchen will make you picture perfect in front of your guests. That’s why, while cleaning the kitchen, make sure you get rid of cockroaches too. Cockroaches are not just embarrassing but also dangerous. They crawl into your kitchen through dirty places and hide in various corners. They spread food poisoning by contaminating food & utensils behind your back.

So, don’t let cockroaches turn you and your guests down. Use LAL HIT, the only solution that can kill even the hidden cockroaches with its unique ‘Deep Reach Nozzle’.

Controlling the pests is most important for health and hygiene, so #SayNoToFoodPoisoning today.

How do you welcome your guests? Any home decor tips or DIY you would like to suggest? Let me know in the comments below.
