Pradeep Bahri, a businessman in Gurugram, considers his house lucky. Built a little over a decade ago, Pradeep had initially bought it only as an investment. The family then gave it out as a guest house for a few years, before moving into and making it their home. Pradeep, his wife Amita, their son Udit, and daughter-in-law Katrina live in this palatial 5-bedroom home.
Katrina and Udit's global love story started a little over 5 years ago, and today the beautiful couple lives with Udit's parents in their Gurugram home. They met each when they were both studying in the UK; he at Oxford, and she at the London School of Economics. They marries in February of this year.
Katrina has always loved vintage designs and decor, and always finds ways to add Victorian décor to her space. Their house in Gurugram is no different. She is also slowly adding elements of Finnish decor to her house. Finland is famous for its glasses/crystal work. They also have a tradition of having a Gnome in every room!
Another beautiful feature in the family's house is the use of stained glass. Not only was the stained glass shipped in from Lucknow, it was also made Mr. Bahri's sister-in-law!
The family was initially a little apprehensive to move to this house in Gurugram after staying in Saket, in central Delhi. Pradeep says,"In the beginning, it felt a little disconnected because all our friends were in Delhi; but eventually you get used to it". The house is in a peaceful locality and faces a park, both of which are rarities in Gurugram!
Perhaps Pradeep's favourite part of the house is how open and airy it is. With an abundance of natural light and enviable open space inside, he loves the fact that they don't need bright artificial lighting. Who wouldn't?! Pradeep considers his home lucky for him and his family, and for good reason. He fondly says, "whoever comes to this house, gets a good feeling"
