Read Excerpts:
Your home speaks volumes about your personality, it's an extension of you, do you agree?
Mira: I agree, your home is an extension of your personality and this stands true especially post pandemic and the second lockdown. During this time, our homes had become our safe space. We all, including me, spent and invested so much of our time at home with our loved ones. Your space proves to be an ideal reflection of yourself, your likes, dislikes, what moves you and what you believe keeps you sane.
How important is it to personalize your home with accessories once interior designers are done with it?
Mira: Getting your home designed is only half the job done. I personally believe personalizing your space makes a house a home. Personalizing helps me inspire the creativity in me and also makes my house more welcoming. It reflects my taste and what I truly believe in.
If the pandemic has taught us anything, is that when it comes to utility, spaces need to double up to cater to different needs of different members, do you agree?
Mira: Yes for sure, as I mentioned our homes are our sacred spaces especially post the pandemic. There is absolutely nowhere I'd rather be than at home with my loved ones. That being said, utility spaces differ from family to family but everyone loves a multi-function space that is personal to them. If you have kids like I do - you do require a dedicated space just for them. And H&M Home has just the ideal accessories for every kind of room and every kind of house!
When it comes to entertaining at home good quality server wear makes or breaks a soiree?
Mira: Most definitely, hosting guests comes with a whole lot of responsibility! For me, I always try to make dining a curated experience. Server wares and dinner wares are the true essence for that. For instance, for the table, I like to set it with a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers that straight away accentuates the look, paired with some gorgeous bowls, serving plates and a dedicated food cover completes the look. It is also comfort over fad for me. That is something I absolutely love about the kitchen and dinnerware collection at H&M Home - it so effortlessly makes dining experiences so gorgeous yet makes you feel at Home.
Your favorite pieces from the H&M Home collection?
Mira: I love the Gorgeous hand painted vases in grey, white and pink in two sizes perfect for both your living room and outdoor spaces to add a chic rustic vibe and this picturesque sunset blanket made in recycled cotton, soft and pretty at the same time. For summer in particular, this HOT pink and white geometric cushion cover is great to inject some electric colors in your living space.
