Dining should be a delightful and a beautiful experience.
My designs are free-flowing in their approach, and I want to create an ambience of warmth and tranquility.
When your heart is in the right place and you give your best, nothing can go wrong.
My design preference tends towards warmth, comfort, and minimalism.
Time for creative ideation and quiet reflection is as much a luxury as is the physical beauty of the space you live in.
Gauri Khan Designs has bespoke furniture for your living room - and the outdoors, too!
The thought of buying a gift and wrapping is too much of an effort for me.
I have a passion for design. Be it a line of clothes or taking a gut decision with unique pieces of furniture, one should always be willing to experiment.
When I came to Mumbai, it was very difficult. I enjoyed every bit of it, but it was so new, and life was very different - new people and new home.
I never considered interior design as a career option. I had designed a couple of our homes, and people liked my work. Friends came forward and asked me to help them do up their homes, and that's how it started.
I have been constantly working on the interiors of my homes in Delhi, Goa, Dubai, Mumbai, and the Red Chillies Building. I had been designing homes, too. Having a background in art, graphic design, and charcoal helped me in my work immensely.
I was an arts student. I did graphic design. Being an artist, I did a lot of paintings. I have always had that creative side to me.
I want to reiterate the fact that at the core of it all, I am a designer, a creator, and as a creative person, I will choose to be limitless in the extension models of my various ideas on design.
When I avoided interviews, it was mainly because I didn't want to speak only about my personal life.
My signature line of clothing for Satya Paul will showcase a distinctive aspect of my own personal style.
I have a stronger personality than Shah Rukh. He is an entity on his own, and I don't consider him a superstar when I'm with him in the house. He's just my husband, and I respect him as that.
Every home, office, club, yacht, landscape, or piece of furniture I may design will be different from the other. What will be consistent, however, is my own personal sense of style through it all.
Personally, one of the greatest sources of inspiration for my work has been architecture. I've had the chance to see so many exquisite structures, whether they are historical monuments or modern commercial premises.
You may not always be as successful as you want to be, but you have to stay goal-oriented. Put in all your efforts, and you will see the results.
Our home in Dubai is a beach house, so it's more casual and not formal in its tone. It's a holiday home. We are mostly in the pool or on the beach or in the sun. It's an outdoor place for the family. So there are mudbikes, a boat, football posts, and the pool is heated.
