Rang Decor Readers' Creative Spaces: II

Shalini Bahadur <div><div>Shalini is a freelance writer and researcher. Today she shares a few creative corners from her serene oasis in Dubai. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293221088057396274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSyAlaLROKSxLyrjR9W0AhaelWXSJZ1iCZ5xg6bRPdmOaT6TeYv7EgeZXOdlAz4YoPqJVDmrC1Bq672-XgcqEzerQ8oNBMwr8w_EzopOyqkZmmpPrzvDiJyHgdOJ9neU47YeErNqkITTt/s400/Living+room+close-up.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 300px; cursor: pointer; height: 400px; text-align: center;" />She describes her home as contemporary but also individualistic. Modern lines but with a sense of warmth and comfort. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293222519669605922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCzCue_FRXZ91_V9gk5O1uaijDLrCxvfgl0gGoXjMMyZ1rDSsOvIvXEaGWfUUTyh1kmUvFfOVbdbfBpiC2Sfl-dlvPS6tjHsYC38GoK017zKyb2L7QJOLK4yHy1aXH8vPunM5r6b_5uMw6/s400/Living+room+corner.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 300px; cursor: pointer; height: 400px; text-align: center;" />Her philosophy, that truly reflects in her home, is that one need not spend loads of money to buy paintings by famous artists to make one's home beautiful. Being creative and inventive is the key. (She has been extremely inventive given the fact that she left most of her art & paintings back in India, when she moved to Dubai with her husband.) <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293295755508491858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHaT-dclhEv5wclgU9_SwVLkYKZK4mSACCAVwDHeW-GX_QT5NEbhD4PchtuoKLrdGobztxRzV88kWCzPhY8uxbBcuoF_gjzJ41eQNvPWguy1fLTosVpASTFTU0_uoa2yEhFB4VbBy6tVPc/s400/paisley1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 306px; height: 400px; text-align: center;" />This simple paisley design artwork has been handmade by Shalini.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293295757741577538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7OvlkRCwTXLNlidPxKEc2DPYOv4Fytu75Q9f7fvjcOyrD0TvRiDN7YQDCnPKL22ELOHItzRhGbnnJ9EotT5N6bX1Mesq-V-sbyG_m0_SQfBkYx1eZ-mLzEPPH1g9ZAKtxGDZkrPtfyOEV/s400/paisley2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 305px; text-align: center;" />A close-up of the paisley design. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293222523820931138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxPuyQrRNjWdgwTMl0q7HMaq7octJxNLGe-sEN9BfWpbpeRu-vKg1R4iKvQlWauHpu5EUlTOnKfVcCvflL36CifAsvX3TAScLnI5o6SC3jSw7miRVkpxYXTYPct4Z3gM1r_E7gP-PqmNcv/s400/art1.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; cursor: pointer; height: 300px; text-align: center;" />The horse and the rider print in her bedroom is actually a newspaper cutting that Shalini really liked.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293297828648547042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzZBlJhrBRNuhHWkHLfS4tf-YKm4Ig0oxJBUWs-n80DnQY8n5LH4fOTXgErRUiZ_3TjnAONH8bCwF1RXomgtWGTm9lYgDN9gLT3OzM7s5Ztv8Fg3xIuyLsrMoC-QhhiLMlpljup-dEWXg-/s400/borders.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 345px; height: 400px; text-align: center;" />The black and white framed artwork is a wrapping paper from Borders! Teamed with beautiful cushions from Ikea, makes it a relaxing corner in her living room.* Very creative* Shalini continues,"I like symmetry and pairing things, but not to the extreme.

A set of four framed leaves picked up during her morning walks. The delicate leaf pattern on the table lamp goes really well with the frames. Shalini loves surrounding herself with things with personal history, mementos from travels, arts & crafts and loads of books. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293220596710517058" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtGhOv4SlzeuDyn2-zuRcPfluGmHN_DIwUPNch7yu3c2qIgkQ8gwVipaclftfGlt13pYElbZnwkTWSj_nbNVAyRg3vkgFPJlCAHhNyWFYB3u5OVvTRfWpQxb_vKq219GhrrWuzR05p8asa/s400/naniji.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 300px; cursor: pointer; height: 400px; text-align: center;" />This photograph in the silver frame is of Shalini's maternal grandmother. * So beautiful*<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293220164676458178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTr2epcq9U7hdYJ8pqPNH2NLFPJ8eZLm0nDIfCqjPUE-xNE2uQYrtNzeCKyjyV94eauKipGcb5ndEpIIlTl3384x11GSaZsasETxLJiS_07bn9q58P3JEdnEgDh0y0sFRTQrhLlOi9oWSU/s400/coffee+table+close-up.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; cursor: pointer; height: 300px; text-align: center;" />Books form an intergral part of Shalini's home space.

New Feature~ Rang Decor Readers' Creative Spaces: I

New Year brings with it a fresh new feature on Rang Decor. Rang Decor has been a medium through which I have 'met' so many creative and talented people from around the world. For the next couple of weeks I will be featuring amazing home spaces of some of the readers of Rang Decor. Yes, real people and their real homes.

Belgium being so cold and grey, we wanted colours in our home."<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291097287033692162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaYyTbjUCwZV6dPFbFfOKcEpo6z8WmqXhs0QcSmXfLo6hPwoJufgW4OO3_xGBtCtoXNJOiuWDypg_dE1n68tBHybPdpgz5OzTsHWskGJSgYoSwajEWdN3hZVcccOCsFvBeGczR9p0nid3o/s400/IMG_0274.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; cursor: pointer; height: 267px; text-align: center;" />Bright pink pooja plate in her temple.
