“For the first few years, every time we’d visit home, we would shuttle between my in-laws and parents, so this arrangement was ideal. It was close enough for comfort, yet contained enough for independent living,” says Neha Kapur (@nehakapur) for whom it was important that her newly finished home in Delhi stand apart from her and husband Kunal Nayyar’s (@kunalkarmanayyar) other properties in London and Los Angeles. In order to achieve this, she specified an ‘In India, by India’ ethos that would shine a light on the artisans behind the magic. Everything had to be a labour of love: local, sustainable, unprocessed and thoughtfully handmade. True to her words, the home brims with artisanal curiosities like a restored gharana pichwai, a sculptural pillar from an ancient temple, jamawars and a custom Kalamkari-on-linen wallpaper.
