Inside Aahana Kumra's Vibrant Mumbai Home | AD Visits

With personally curated art and emblems of her childhood, Aahana Kumra's home, designed by Shireen Mahna, is at once trad and tony. For Kumra, the home is a manifestation twenty years in the making, and one that nods equally to her Lucknowi roots and her life in Mumbai. "There are whiffs of Kashmir, London and Delhi too. It's a collection of all my favourite places," she says, adding that the vision was largely informed by English design, because "I travel a lot to London". But really, as I step inside, what strikes me isn't the English-ness at all, but rather the glimmers of India that peep through the pastels.
