    “As a curator and design writer, I’m used to commenting on other people’s style and use of colour,” says Priya Khanchandani. “When it came to taking on the challenge of decorating my own home, I realised how difficult it can be.” Having contributed to titles including Frieze, The Observer and Wallpaper* and having held the position of head of curatorial at the Design Museum for more than two years, Priya is a trusted voice in her field and has become known for her work on South Asian culture in particular. Naturally, we were fascinated to pick her brains about a particularly heartfelt project: the curation of her home in Archway, north London.

    ABOUT THE MODERN HOUSE
    The Modern House is an estate agency that helps people live in more thoughtful and beautiful ways. We believe in design as a powerful force for good - from personal factors such as wealth and wellbeing to more macro themes including community, place-making and architectural preservation. Esquire credits The Modern House with rewriting “the rulebook on estate agency”, and GQ has voted us “one of the best things in the world”.

    We love the combination of colours, and how thoughtfully Priya creates a lively home space. It’s great to see her Tylko shelf being a real cabinet of curiosities 🧡

    How wonderful to see stacks of books for reading enjoyment instead of using books as risers for objects.
    This is a home filled with story and happiness.

    This is my ideal aesthetic for a house. I love the combination of colors and how she placed them sparingly and intentionally around the house. It livens up the space just enough while still feeling comfortable and not garish

      That was my first reaction! Who would say that? I think the coffee table actually fits the decor very well, it’s a quintessentially 50’s style piece within a space filled with modernist pieces of various decades. Well done granddad! Love that it was one of her chosen pieces, shows how treasured it is.
      Beautiful home. Inspiring bold choices from the orange chair to the hallway paint treatment to the pops of bright art and collectibles- yet all skillfully curated and balanced to create a calm and serene atmosphere.

    I really love this home, but I was so hoping when she opened the shelf door ‘hiding things’ that a pile of cords and obsolete remote controls fell out. I would have felt better about life. All joking aside, love the space and love of books!

    @mildredhighcock7333 Год назад +3

    Feels honestly like she just moved in a day earlier and hasn't given any thought to anything yet - or stamped any kind of mark, kind of like the cobbler's family who go without shoes. But I love the fact you show such variety as it's nice not to have everything so 'styled to the nines' also

    Usually I am "Rich people have such wonderful homes!" In this case I really don't like anything except the couch itself but not how it is crammed in next to the door. The art is weird, the furniture pieces are weird, the moustache chair sits in a weird place, I despise these awful cubic office things by Alessi, I never liked those unfomfortable and most of the time wobbly tulip chairs, I don't like the marble table in that combination. I don't like the weird blue colour in the staircase plus the red handrail and the pink mirror. This home has no flow for me. Glad that rich people not always have good taste. 😄
