Step inside Bureaucrat-Author Daribha Lyndem’s maximalist Mumbai apartment

Lovingly designed and conceptualised by Lyndem herself, this vibrant flat looks like a set straight out of a Wes Anderson movie. I first discovered Daribha Lyndem’s Mumbai home when I was browsing Instagram and came across her profile, peppered with OOTD posts shot against the backdrop of her home. Initially zooming in on each image to peruse her individualistic sense of style, I soon found myself distracted by her maximalist apartment that seemed like it had wholely embraced the cluttercore interior aesthetic. “My personal style, like my taste in decor, is erratic. One day I will follow a trend and the next I will stick to classics. I get a lot of my outfits stitched, and try to stick to clothes with natural fibres. It’s too sticky in Mumbai to do otherwise,” says Daribha, when I speak to her over Zoom.
