India 23 November 2022: Pooja Hegde’s home, hidden away in a quaint lane in Mumbai, is a perfect reflection of who she is. Her lovingly designed home sits on a high floor, overlooking a pond and the Arabian Sea. It speaks of her attention to detail and her passion for her home. This episode of Asian Paints Where The Heart Is Season 6 features an exclusive tour of Pooja’s masterfully crafted home.
A melting pot of happy memories and comfort, Pooja’s home is a true blend of experiences that have inspired her, in India and abroad. From the moment you walk in, you get a sense of London, with its perfect green shade instantly transporting you to this old city’s alleyways and streets. From there, it gets even better with the terrazzo-finish fireplace, the pastel pink couch positioned against the cream-textured wall, and the rustic dining table carved from a single log.
With cleverly designed spaces, Pooja’s home uses spaces intelligently and beautifully. There are hidden doors that reveal storage space, unraveling the wisdom of old Indian homes, paired with a modern design aesthetic that mirrors the best in the world. All rooms in the house have pastel colors, and the light fixtures feature exposed filaments as a motif. There’s clear intent in the allocation of floor space too: An entire room has been dedicated to using as a green room, and a walk-in closet; an essential feature of an actor’s home.
