Art for Tarini Manchanda is a meaningful manifestation of history, emotions and acceptance. Art is the biggest inspiration for her everyday life, and forms a big part of her home in Delhi. Her interest in creativity got a kick-start during her college days in London, a hub of cultures, designs and arts. Her life was never the same after that.

Being an enthusiast of art, Tarini does not differentiate between fields and forms of creativity, her only condition is—art should have meaning. Naturally, her house is a collection of thoughtfully picked, sneakily borrowed and unconditionally loved pieces. The house she stays in was a personalised form of unfinished art, which she decided to give new meanings to. Since the space was rather bare and large, she started out with selecting furniture for it. The process of buying furniture was unhastened, because art has to breathe, it has to be thoughtful, and with that her house is shaping up, slowly but steadily, into her very own collection of all the things she loves with a full heart.
