Asian Paints’ affair with Taapsee

Set in Mumbai, Taapsee’s home is more than just a space—it’s a reflection of her roots and her family. ‘’Home is where I have my family, and I’m closest to my sister. So, wherever she is, that’s home for me,” says Taapsee. Her sister, a constant presence in her life, has travelled with her from Delhi to Hyderabad to Mumbai—a bond that was inspired by the closeness she always admired between her father and chacha.

Taapsee’s childhood in a two-bedroom apartment shared with eight family members taught her to find joy in chaos and connection, despite the absence of personal space. This experience deepened her appreciation for personal space, inspiring her to design a home that balances moments of solitude with spaces for togetherness. Spanning two distinct floors, her home beautifully reflects this vision.

From the moment you step in, Taapsee’s infectious humour sets the tone. Playful welcome mats greet you with messages like ‘You look nice today’ and ‘Pretend this is a haveli,’ instantly creating a warm and cheerful vibe. Inside, every corner tells a story. “My house is actually like a world tour,” she says, pointing to the decor and artifacts collected from her global travels. A walk up the stairs take you from the elegance of Europe to the charm of India. On the European-themed lower floor, souvenirs from her travels are displayed on a unique feature she fondly calls her “Asian Paints ki wall.” Painted with bold stripes in various hues, it resembles a colour swatch book, inviting you to pick your favourite shade
