The safe rule to use colours in a home, especially a smaller one, is to have a couple of schemes and stick to them. But designer Krsna Mehta isn’t one to follow convention. At his 1,100 sqft Breach Candy apartment in Mumbai that he shares with his cats Baileys and Google, colour reigns supreme.
His home is an audacious world where contrasting walls pop with graphic prints and evocative art (many of them by Mehta himself). It’s a happy mash-up, and typical of the gleeful decorating approach that his ethnic cool brand, India Circus, is known for. Mehta’s love for vivid colours is evident in how each room is painted with at least two colours—pink and purple dominate his bedroom, red and blue his living area, and green and maroon in his guest room-turned-entertainment den. “This is not a whimsical mix. I’ve used certain colours to show how they mix and coordinate with each other,” he says.
