Talking about keeping it minimalistic, Sunil Sethi, FDCI president, says, “We often see in Indian homes, people have a habit of stocking goods they no longer use. Hoarding is very familiar to most houses in India. Then came the era of minimalism, and the younger generation seems to embrace it. However, I took inspiration from architects Le Corbusier and Tadao Ando and back home it has to be Charles Correa who have defined minimalism the best. And, it’s interesting to see many young Indian architects are following the same. Make sure that the walls are made of exposed concrete, and use a lot of whites in your decor.”
