For many artists, home is an extension of their personality, their memories, and their creative spirit. For singer-songwriter Armaan Malik, his first home is exactly that: a personal sanctuary where music, family, and comfort come together effortlessly.
“Walking through the house is literally like taking a tour of my inner self. I love this space,” Armaan shares warmly as he opens the door to Architectural Digest. Designed with a cosy yet contemporary LA-meets-London vibe, the house was created with help from interior designer Mansi to reflect Armaan’s taste, lifestyle, and most importantly, his values.
“The whole of the house gives me a sense of warmth. I always have friends over, and I want them to feel like it’s their home as well. Just kick back and relax,” he says. It’s a recurring theme in his space: openness, hospitality, and ease.
The standout feature? A brick wall that became the starting point of the home’s aesthetic. “This was the first thing that was made and sparked off the inspiration for the rest of the design,” he explains. His kitchen follows the same minimalist style: “simple, spacious, and open.”
Armaan’s favourite corner, however, is undoubtedly the music room, where inspiration lives. “This is my most favourite room,” he beams. “There’s my studio, my guitars, my MIDI keyboard, and a bunch of stuff that I’ve achieved over the years.” One of those achievements includes a plaque for his platinum debut English single “Control.”
The room also honours his roots and support system. “Both my brother Amaal and I won the Filmfare Award, and that’s my mom and dad holding our awards in their hands,” Armaan says proudly. “I like keeping it in my workspace because it keeps inspiring me to do better music.”
His bond with Amaal, also a music composer and singer, is clearly central to his life: “There’s a picture of the three Malik brothers—Amaal, me, and our pet dog Handsome. This is from Handsome’s birthday. It’s a really special memory for me.”
Then there’s his collection of guitars, lovingly referred to as his “guitar babies.” One of them, a guitar he bought in 2011 while studying at Berklee College of Music, holds a special place in his heart. “It’s been with me since then; on every concert, every tour with me. This is really special and feels like an extension of me.”
