Beautiful Homes

Repeated lines, geometric forms and graphic motifs create a sense of rhythm, while variations in scale, spacing and texture keep the eye engaged. Tattva explores this through geometric forms, embroidery and dobby techniques, while Katana takes a more monochromatic approach with stripes, checks, grids and textured surfaces. Together, the collections show how repeating a simple visual idea can create something layered, cohesive and full of character. Explore the Katana and Tattva collections at any Beautiful Homes Store.

Yes, fresh flowers are beautiful but they’re also unsustainable or simply unavailable a lot of the time. Fake flowers have a bad rep but there are some fantastic options now that present both the gorgeousness of blooms as well as the artistry of its makers.

There’s something architectural about a stripe. It can elongate, frame, define or simply draw the eye, changing the way a piece of furniture, and the space around it, is perceived. From fine lines to bolder bands, stripes bring a sense of structure while leaving plenty of room for colour, texture and form to take the lead. The result is a pattern that feels as at home on an upholstered chair as it does across a sofa, cushion or wall. Explore the Refined Stripes collection at your nearest Beautiful Homes Store.

Edible flowers; honey from your own hives; handwritten “thank you” notes—hosting people comes with the added pressure to go above and beyond. No wonder we dread the doorbell in 2026. We spoke to three women and a couple about the art of opening one’s home without losing one’s mind. From navigating hosting with a new baby to actively encouraging the element of surprise, these hosts put intention above theatre. And they still manage to put together remarkable gatherings.

When you imagine Komal Basith’s @komalbasith home, you might picture sprawling open shelving laden with skincare and cosmetics from around the world. After all, Komal is a former beauty editor turned content creator, with almost 20 years in the industry and a steady stream of PR samples. Instead, all her products are neatly stored in closed drawers to protect them from sun exposure. Anything that doesn't work for her goes into a “beauty box”. When family and friends visit, they rummage through the box, exchanging recommendations and picking their favourites to take away. “What skincare is working for you at the moment; what isn't working?” becomes another point of connection. In the final part of the Beautiful Homes guest contributor series, Komal Basith shares how the systems that keep her home running don't have to look beautiful. They just have to work for the people living there. #BeautifulHomesAP #AsianPaints #GuestContributor [Guest Contributor, Komal Basith, Home Tour, Series]
