The space dictates the decor.
There’s no point imposing a vision onto a room that already very much already has one. When a space carries this much character, the sensibilities lie in having the role of decor to adapt around and complement it.
For Ikra’s home Nikkah, this living room very much already held an ambience- my immediate thoughts when I stepped in were that it’s giving heritage and grandeur. It was unmistakeable that the interior of this room was giving rich woods, warm tones, and an inherently ornate feel. Instead of working against the tide (as Ikra initially wanted a light and airy, modern and refreshing palette for this space) , I advised her that actually we need to lean right into it.
Deep reds to enhance the richness, soft blush tones to balance it all out, and layering of fresh florals to mirror textures already in the space. Even the choice right down to the candlesticks and candelabras was deliberate, adding to the ambience rather than competing with it.
Seeing the space beforehand made all the difference (site visits available upon request) because each room carried its own mood, and the decor choices- which were done across the entire downstairs of her home, were shaped around that (more to come on a voiceover reel soon!)
When you book Silk & Ribbons, you’re not just booking decor, you’re booking styling that is very much intentional, informed and responds to the space and how to maximise factors such as budget and how it can be used to your advantage.
The result? Home decor that feels cohesive, consistent and unmistakably giving a ‘shaadi wala ghar’ vibe ✨
