At Discern we’re most excited to know what’s inside their homes - do their dwellings look as glamorous as the stars themselves? We try to find the answers as we take a peek into the homes of five Indian celebrities whose homes we love! These well-designed homes sport a range of styles from Classic European to Modern Industrial and more. Excited? Scroll down to know more. 1. Shah Rukh Khan’s Luxurious Home - Mannat

This Bollywood heartthrob has a home that is worth drooling over! His bungalow Mannat, is decorated very opulently in the Classic European style. From the cluster of chandeliers and the arches supported by elegant pillars that lead to the many rooms, to the intricately carved chairs, everything here speaks of a bygone era. The detailing of the furniture and wall art and a touch of gold in almost every piece of furniture show the actor’s glamorous side and his love for everything luxe. It’s a fitting home for the King of Bollywood!





Dining Room

They say homes are a window into the resident's personality, and that is evident in the study room of Shahrukh Khan's house. A complete departure from the other over-the-top glitzy spaces in the house, this room demonstrates the eclectic style – featuring a blend of industrial, vintage and classic elements, complete with the all-important glam accents. The boldly exposed brick walls and the rough-hewn, deliberately worn look of the furniture exude a comfortable, casual atmosphere that still oozes a sense of richness and opulence. The two styles may seem wildly varied, however they retain the same thing at their heart - a love for quality, opulence, and making a statement.

2. Parineeti Chopra’s Quirky Haven

Parineeti Chopra’s sea-facing home is an utter delight. Designed by Shabnam Gupta, this home is Parineeti’s dream come true. Everything inside her house reflects her own personality. From a library stocked with books that she loves to read to key-holders that spell out ‘Drama Queen,’ this bubbly actor’s home defines who she truly is.





Living Room



The design style is modern contemporary or typically cosmopolitan, with a lot of modern furniture. The actress has devoted an entire length of the wall to big windows, so that she can make the most of her stunning view and abundant natural light.





Living Room cum Study Room



As you can see, Parineeti favours clean lines and simple yet striking details. She has contrasted the white walls with navy blue couches and added in a variety of pillows for pops of colour. Parineeti seems to have found a perfect balance between a relaxed space which is still uber chic. She has also made room for a balcony lined with plants and installed a swing, where she can often be found reading. Finding calm within the concrete jungle is what this home seems to be all about!





Walk-in Wardrobe

We’d commend Shabnam Gupta for designing the actress’s home so beautifully. She has taken into account Parineeti Chopra’s likes and dislikes and has incorporated the same into her home. Unlike other celebrities whose homes are too often OTT, Parineeti’s home follows a simpler and an (Eclectic) modern contemporary design style that boldly reflects the actor’s own personality, quirks, and eccentricities.

3. Amitabh Bachchan’s Elegant Home

The Bachchan home is esigned in a vintage (English country/cottage) style. But it is not flashy or ostentatious in any way. This home’s design style is all about understated elegance. A Classic brown Chesterfield sofa, throw pillows, floral wallpaper, and lamps, accentuated by a stand-out artwork are all characteristic of the Vintage design style. They make the room look comforting and inviting, instead of overly prim and proper.





Living Room



The library, which is filled with books and framed personal photographs on the walls, suggests elegance and taste. The charcoal colour on the walls is a good choice, as are the occasional gold-framed photographs. This is truly a home befitting the Badshah of Bollywood - one that speaks of innate style and a strong personality, while remaining elegant and sophisticated in a subdued, restrained manner.

4. John Abraham’s Modern Villa

Dapper gent John Abraham’s villa is covetous, to say the least! Designed by his brother, architect Alan Abraham, the 4,000 sq.foot ‘Villa In The Sky’ has been nominated for several international architecture awards. And not without good reason. The style seems to be a mixture of urban, modern, and industrial design. The angular pool for example, seems to flow alongside the lines of the sky and of the house. The designer has worked to consciously make the most of the available natural light, by placing huge windows everywhere. An instant connect with the outdoors is the feeling that can be found in the design of this villa.





Living Room

The style can be described as modern contemporary with industrial accents, made of metal and wood. The aluminium chairs by the kitchen island and the rough and rugged finished wood stools, coupled with a lot of monochrome silver, add an industrial touch to the modern decor.





Kitchen Area

There are a lot of straight and sleek lines that echo the urban modern style of design. Whether it is the alignment of the couches or the bathroom mirrors, you will notice that everything here is all about lines and angles.





Bathroom



Everything about John Abraham’s villa speaks of good taste and a man’s touch. No florals, no pops of colour and no kitschy rugs. It is all sleek and modern and makes it an apt choice for the actor.

5. Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s Tasteful Home

Last but definitely not the least, is Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s home. The bright and quirky abode has been designed around an element of nostalgia. The design style is Indian Ethnic and Eclectic and if there’s clutter, it only makes it more charming. The home focuses on antique textiles in the form of ajrakh sheets and khadi curtains, assorted art, antique rugs and more!





Balcony



The home is filled with a large variety of sturdy wood furniture and house plants. The key element of the space is the theme of nostalgia. Whether it is an old wood armoire, the big wood and rattan dining table that the designer has had in the family for generations, the old books laid on tables or the little-chipped cups and saucers placed out on the terrace that belong to his sister, everything is steeped in history. This only goes to establish that Sabyasachi's home is designed in the Vintage style, albeit with elements of the quirky and the artistic thrown in.



We especially like the color used in the foyer – a rich shade of purple. The granite floors and the white painted ceiling with a traditional old lamp only serve to add another layer of nostalgia to the house, reminding us of homes from the olden times. The kitchen has been outfitted with distressed cabinets, to introduce a vintage charm to the space. Pops of color in the form of blue tiles have been added to an otherwise plain white room.







The designer sure has a way of adding an element of the unexpected to a Classic design style and we highly approve!
