Mini Mathur and Kabir Khan’s home is full of colour, heirloom pieces and travel inspirations

Inspired by their travels and mutual love of décor, Mini Mathur and Kabir Khan’s fusion-style home is dotted with thoughtful furniture, souvenirs and family memorabilia

The influences of their travels are evident in the house – the colours, the collectables dotting nooks and crannies and the rounded edges of all corners of their living room (inspired by Greece). But one look at their terrace gives away their favourite destination – Santorini. We love how they turned the terrace into a mini escape. As Kabir rightly points out, “An open terrace is worth its weight in gold…just the fact that you can sit and look up at the stars…” he trails off.

Just like any family, meal times are crucial in the Mathur-Khan household, which is why Mini insisted on an open kitchen. “I love cooking and don’t think the kitchen needs to be a room where you hide and slave over a stove while everybody is sitting outside and enjoying the food. It should be an interactive activity.”

However, one part of the house she truly finds solace in is her makeshift office. It’s her “happy space”. She works out of here and in true mom style, also keeps an eagle eye on her two children in the adjacent kids’ room.

The house is a combined vision of Kabir and Mini. No décor decision is taken without the feedback of the other. As Kabir sums it up, “If Mini’s between yellow and red, after a discussion with me, she’ll realise she’s more on the side of yellow, and I’m more red. Sometimes, we’ll go with one and sometimes we’ll go with orange.”
