Madhuri Dixit’s exquisite home in Mumbai houses a private collection of M.F. Husain paintings, a testament to her role as his muse. She says, “Husain Ji wanted to paint the walls of my home, but I objected on the account of moving, so he painted me some of his finest works.” This remarkable collection of paintings sits within the context of an interior that brings forth a sense of understated glamour, designed by Apoorva Shroff of Lyth Design. Here are 7 AD-approved pieces from Madhuri Dixit’s and Dr. Shriram Madhav Nene’s Mumbai home that you can buy for yourself:
Foyer
The entrance foyer, ornamented with a dramatic console by Vikram Goyal's Viya Home, is accentuated by Husain's auspicious Ganeshas. Goyal's ability to elevate a material like brass into a true objet d'art comes through beautifully, setting the tone for the rest of the home.
Living Area
A deep blue Piaf Sofa By Baxter adds a dash of colour to the living room, further complemented by the vibrant M.F. Husain on the wall.
Shroff's brief was to create “a sanctuary that blends contemporary aesthetics with a minimalist undertone, emphasising straight lines, clean forms, and a sober palette’’. She chose a number of neutral pieces that brought forth a sense of subtle glamour, including armchairs from the luxury Italian furniture brand Visionnaire.
Also part of the living room seating composition, the Russel Sofa by Minotti features a vintage design sensibility that is modernised with an incredibly sophisticated silhouette.
A custom lighting installation by designer Gautam Seth's Klove Studio hangs over the bar.
Dining Area
In the dining area, a whimsical piece by Kolkata-based Scarlet Splendor occupies a place of pride. Studded with gleaming brass spheres, the Oasis Sideboard features a pale blue interior and brass-lined circular shelves.
Master Bathroom
Adding an element of tactile warmth to the master bathroom, is a low knotted rug from Jaipur Rugs' Zuri collection.
This 5,500-square-foot abode in which art and design coalesce seamlessly, comes to life with the vibrant personalities of its inhabitants.
