‘That’s just a quarter of Arjun bhaiya’s DVD collection’: Inside Anshula Kapoor’s Mumbai home

A big part of Anshula’s design inspiration comes from Pinterest. Her quirky terrazzo-finished bar was “something that I picked out of Pinterest. I saw the shape and everything and I was like, I need it!” She adds, “I even have a bathroom where we have terrazzo on the floor.”

While the house is filled with fun elements, including an oversized La-Z-Boy sofa that transforms into a “PVR experience” and an XO game board with hashtags and @signs, every corner also tells a deeply personal story. In a tucked-away section of the house lies a vibrant piece of artwork she discovered serendipitously in a clothing store in Dubai. “My sister was shopping for clothes and I was like, ‘Oh my God, the art on your wall, I love it.’ They were like, ‘We’re actually selling it’.”

The home has a dedicated work-and-shoot room for Anshula’s content creation and meetings. “I’m living alone. I don’t need two bedrooms. So we made this room into a more functional space,” she explains. Her brother Arjun Kapoor is a fan of DVDs, a quarter of which lie on one shelf in the room. “That’s just a quarter of Arjun bhaiya’s DVD collection. Literally just a quarter of it,” Anshula said. “In case it’s not on OTT, literally come here, pick whatever you want.”

Anshula says she is also determined to fill every inch of free floor space with LEGO. “Do you see the amount of free space? I can just occupy all the flooring with massive pieces of Lego. That’s on the agenda.”
