In the realm of home decor, geographical boundaries are fading away, making room for a rich tapestry of global influences. Today, homes are adorned with a delightful blend of cultural inspirations, where the warmth of Mediterranean aesthetics meets the functionality of Japanese design, and Scandinavian simplicity converges with modern lines. In an interaction with Zee News English, Ar. Sumit Dhawan at Cityspace'82 Architects shares the influence of cultural diversity across Indian houses.
Ar. Sumit highlights, "Rooted in Portuguese design language and tailored to coastal climatic conditions, seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern functionality. Arched windows, a terracotta roof, and white-washed walls draw inspiration from Portuguese architecture, radiating coastal allure in every corner."
More than just a mix of styles, diverse influence in home decor serves as a bridge connecting us to shared stories of humanity. It sparks a harmonious conversation between the past and the present, where tradition and innovation coexist. Each piece of decor tells a story, intertwining tales of culture, progress, and a universal sense of belonging onto the canvas of our homes.
"The fusion of styles, exemplified by homes like the one in Goa, reflects a rich tapestry of cultures. Our homes become reflections of shared histories, reminding us that decor is not just about aesthetics; it's about expressing the collective heritage of the world," concludes Ar. Sumit Dhawan.
