Work, play and live: At home in Bengaluru with content creator, creative director and producer Nilu Thapa

Opposites attract and that stands entirely true for Nilu Thapa’s home in Bengaluru—the maximalist fashion icon and her minimalist home. The fashionista knows her choices well, and the evident ones are her longing love for Japandi aesthetics and the colour blue. For her, these aren’t just choices but a lifestyle she has incorporated by striking a balance between the two. As you follow the natural calm and organised vibe, the house encompasses neutral colours and wooden accents while the kitchen keeps calm in balmy blues.

Since its inception, two factors have reserved a special place in Nilu’s heart—the abundance of natural light and the nook which is now a sit-out area. Often found sitting, soaking in the golden-hour light and enjoying the view, the sit-out is where she spends quality time with her cats. As the natural light gushes in abundance, the decluttered house cascades in a single rhythm and flow. For Nilu, the house is a place where there is space for anything and everything she loves.
