Living in a beautiful home is great, but living in one that has your imprint all over its walls, is special.
The moment you step into Rachna and Dinesh's home in Gurugram, you feel a sense of happiness that always permeates the air. Maybe it's the constant stream of natural light, or the family's two adorable dogs, or the plethora of art and photographs created by the couple themselves that one can see in almost every corner of their house.
This beautiful and charming home belongs to Rachana Yadav and Dinesh Khanna. Rachana is a dancer, and Dinesh is a photographer, and they live here with their two daughters and two dogs.
The home is a four-storeyed brick house that was built around 10 years ago. Since then it has slowly acquired the characteristics of its residents - colourful, happy and welcoming!
Rachana played a big part in designing this house when it was built around 10 years ago. At the time, she ran an interior design business. The home is designed in a way to make the most of all the natural light that floods into it.
The theme is consistent throughout the house - open spaces, with a lot of natural light, and retaining the original brick structure as the hero. This is best illustrated in the bedroom, which looks like an oasis of peace and tranquility.
The four-storeyed house provides ample space for peace and creative thought. The ceilings are high, and the colours are consistently white and a natural green from the multitude of plants. The basement of the house is used by Rachana and Dinesh as their studio.
The highlight of Rachana and Dinesh's home is the skylight over the dining area which illuminates the enter house. Another unique feature is the baked tile used on the floors in the house.
The home oozes warmth and creativity, and the best part is that it almost completed decorated with the couple's creations!
