A centuries old Vishnu statue
Malini’s bedroom exudes warmth
“ Our love for antiques
has led to a collection of
various pieces from all
over the country. “
Adjacent is a separate entertainment room, a comfortable and
modern space that also refl ects the family’s love for art. This
multipurpose area features leather reclining chairs, placed in
front of a large fl at-screen television, while a console piano
rests in the far corner opposite to a wooden desk that sits by a
partitioning window. Red-tinted curtains exude a theatre vibe,
Entertainment room perfect for the entire room.
While visiting the cosy bedrooms, we were particularly struck
by eldest daughter Malini’s room. In the centre sits a custom
built canopy bed, complete with colourful fringe curtains and
mix-and-match patterned pillows. The playful sheets, colourful
wallpaper and framed illustrations uncover a vibrant room full
of personality.
We later step onto the winding balcony with views of the
surrounding neighbourhood. The outdoor space has light
wooden benches with chairs that sit among a lush collection of
tropical plants bought from Phutthamonthon. “I enjoy travelling
outside the city to purchase my fl owers,” Sukanya says. “There
Sukanya and Asoke is so much variety available there for bargain prices.”
As we take our leave, we sneak a last glance at the lounge
area and our eyes are once again enthralled by the contrast of
colours and rich textures present in everything
from the walls to the art, and even the leather
seating. This room and many more, are all
components of the same story — one that is
full of life and rich in cultural history.
