RAIMA IS HER OWN INTERIOR DESIGNER

For her new seafacing apartment in Juhu, the actor explores her hidden talent

Actor Raima Sen (above) is on cloud nine, as she has just moved into her new house — a seafacing apartment in Juhu, Mumbai. More than buying the new pad, she’s happy that she got to live her passion of being an interior designer while doing up the entire house by herself with ideas from her sister and mother, actors Riya Sen and Moon Moon Sen, respectively.

“I always wanted to have my own house, where I would take care of the interiors entirely. A house turns into a home only when you have your family along with you. The home feels positive with much warmth and peace,” says Raima, who has bought the flat in the same building, where her mother lives — the person she is extremely close to. Interestingly, Raima has looked after her new house from scratch and put much effort into making this her dream abode. Sharing her thoughts that went behind deciding the decor and colour of the house, Raima says, “I’ve kept it simple and elegant. It’s all white. It’s a sea-facing house with huge windows that make it appear more spacious. Also, the lighting for each room is different, which makes it look unique.” The actor has picked up antique objects to adorn her house from cities such us Kolkata and Delhi.” We pick up things like paintings, fans, sofa, whenever my parents or I travel,” she adds.

Ask her about her favourite corner in the house, and prompt comes her reply, “My sea-facing room. I love to sit and relax on my favourite arm chair and read. There is also another den, where I can spend time watching movies, back to back.”
