Safe to say – this is not a house; this is a whole aesthetic universe.
The designer couple who gave us films like Padmaavat, and series such as Heeramandi, obviously don’t do minimalism. Their home is eclectic and restrained at the same time – which somehow totally works. Think high ceilings, double-height volumes, open passages, fluid spatial flow, and expansive glass windows that make the whole place breathe. The floor is seamless beige, the walls are textured plaster and stone, there are exposed wooden beams, curved steps, and European-style chandeliers literally everywhere. And there’s also a swimming pool with a massive Buddha mural. One corner is a workspace-meets-gathering space. Think layered antiques, ornate mirrors, coffee tables and off-white sofas. Harpreet’s own textile-inspired paintings are hung right alongside.

Four-poster canopy bed, patterned floor tiles, huge area rugs, floor-to-ceiling curtains, a decorative console, a hand-painted folding screen, layered antiques, and large canvases about travel, belonging and spirituality. And the kitchen? Modular but artsy. Teal-blue cabinetry, white countertops, patterned tiles, a central island, large windows, and carved wood doors.
The bigger living area is earthy architecture, dramatic lighting, indoor plants mixed with modern Indian art that Farah said should literally be in a museum.
