BANGALORE HOME TOUR

Hello! I am so excited to give you a virtual tour of my home in Bangalore. If you are new here, my name is Vidhi and i moved to Bangalore a couple of months ago to live my dream of living alone, building a home and adulting in my own messed up way. Before I begin, let me please give you a little back story and tell you how special this experience was for me. 

 I did not move here with a very clear agenda and a vividly remember the jitters in my stomach on my last night in Delhi at my parent's house and forever home. For the first few days, I was a lost child, not knowing if the new city would accept me in a way I expected it to, if I would be able to financially sustain myself, make friends and manage work and home alone. I was a mix of anxious and excited. More excited than anxious. I made plans, listed down everything I could think of and went out searching for the perfect apartment. For a week, every night, I would come back tired and disappointed until the 8th day of house hunting when I stepped into the house that I literally felt i had been dreaming of. It had plenty of natural light, off white walls, new building, beautiful balcony with trees around, decently furnished and it had a vibe that resonated with me. I knew this was it! haha.  

The next step was to make it into a home, a liveable space. I wanted to keep it clean, fresh, minimal with subtle pops of color, inspiring and did not want to overclutter the space.

Was it easy? no. Was it satisfying and surreal ? Yes. 

Exactly an year ago, I was dreaming of living a life that I am living right now and sometimes I still wonder if this really happened :)

Lets dive into into the real deal now and take a look at my cozy little space which is still a work in progress. But, lets do this. 

My favorite part of this apartment is the balcony and the big glass doors . Thats the first place I had set up and for the first few days,  I would sit and work there all day. The planter stands were made using cement and some waste wood I found in my building complex. It’s right off pinterest :P Some weeks ago, I came across some really cool DIYs, got inspired and made a couple of these for my place. They turned out different but i was quite happy with them. I ended up doing quite a few cement DIYs at my place later.

Moving on to the bedroom, I rented a simple queen size bed and everything else is fairly neutral and functional.

Bed - rented

Blanket, Lamp, Rug - amazon

Table - home centre and then painted with acrylics because i didn’t like the color.

Cushions - Design Station

Stool - Commercial Street

vase - Its actually a lamp, from a street side small store near Hennur road

Flowers - Home Centre

Curtain - Given to me by a friend

Almost always, I have worked out of a small desk in my bedroom and when I moved to this place, the one thing I was most excited about was having a separate room for work. I bought the wooden board and got a carpenter to fix it on the wall rather than buying a table. The L shape of the table gives me enough space to put everything I need at once. The racks on the wall are fixed with metal angles bought from a hardware store. I love how this room gets a lot of sunlight throughout the day and the natural tones and plants in this area add a beautiful vibe. I wanted to keep things clean, functional and inspiring enough for me to be able to stay productive and motivated. It’s still a work in progress and you can expect to see some more additions and changes soon :D

Durrie and kantha cushion - Design station

That’s all folks! It’s been a beautiful experience to put together this place I can now call home and I hope you enjoyed this little tour :)
