HOME SWEET HOME
Sussanne Roshan gives Bazaar her top picks from her beautifully curated décor site, thehomelabel.com.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP FIVE PICKS FROM THEHOMELABEL.COM? I love their Japanese ceramic tea-set (`2,499)—it’s the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Their green Starburst picture frame (`499), inspired by Prada’s Fall 2012 collection, is perfect for displaying your treasured memories. Danny the doorstopper (`1050) is another clever invention, which I have in my own home too. This plushy little doorstopper is your child’s knight in shining armour because no amount of babyproofing is enough when your child starts running around. I absolutely adore the La Joie De Vivre tray (`1,450). Paris is my favourite city in the whole world and this country-style distressed tray is perfect for housing your apples, croissants, and cheese blocks. And lastly, their Honeycomb vase (`3,750) is a real standout. Perfect for long-legged stunners like snapdragons, cannas, and lilies, the vase takes centre stage no matter what it is surrounded by. I love it for that and for its simplistic design. LIST YOUR KEY DÉCOR DOS. · Start building your own collection of unique home décor items. I’m a huge art lover, so I’m always looking for great paintings. But if you aren’t an art person, you can even get digital work framed. . One must always keep things open and stay away from the dense and dark. . Consider using a ladder-inspired shelving system. Have room dividers that can double up as shelves too. · Move! We forget that a room can get a completely different point of view simply by moving things around. · Take your heirloom pieces and give them a whole new life with new upholstery, and a coat of paint.
