Bomti Iyengar’s art gallery-like home in Kolkata

Bomti Iyengar in his study. Colour, he says, is the most important element in his home. As is with his cheery fashion choices, down to the florescent green phone cover.

The entryway to Bomti's home in Kolkata. A brightly painted wall is a great way to create a focal point. Like him, you can hang your art or pictures to create an interesting entrance.

A collection of masks dots one wall in the hallway of Bomti's home. It shows how a display doesn't always have to be symmetrical. Different pieces in various sizes add to the character of the space.

Bomti has treated each of his walls like an art gallery. Here, a Hussain sits among other maestros in the dining area.

The entire length of the open-plan living-dining is covered with artworks collected over the years. Bomti has created intimate spaces by using different rugs and carpets to demarcate different seating arrangements.

Bomti's mother's room is dotted with antique furniture and classic pieces. Here, they have opted to work with an array of ornate plates instead of framed art on the walls.

The study at the far end of his bedroom. Bomti's collection of art, unframed, sits in a neat pile here adding to the artistic vibe.

Bomti's bedroom is filled with art; on the walls, on the floor, piled on tables. It's a heady experience being in here. An imposing four-poster bed defines itself as a space of solitude in this organised chaos that is his bedroom.

Clustering is a conscious decor choice for Bomti. Be it his art, masks in the entryway, plates in his mother's room or collectibles like these elephants, you will find pieces grouped together to create an interesting display.

Art in Bomti's home is not restricted to canvases. He has carefully amassed an envious collection of crystal and ceramic ware over the years. A console plays host to this beautiful collection, which looks like a display in itself.
