[ecis2016.org] The three-and-a-half-bedroom-hall apartment of model and actress Ruhi Singh in Goregaon west, Mumbai, is a statement in contemporary elegance and understated luxury

Actress Ruhi Singh’s home in Mumbai’s Goregaon west is spacious and sophisticated. Singh bought her three-and-a-half-bedroom-hall apartment, after living on rent for a few years in the city, as she felt that it was a better idea to pay the EMI on the house, rather than paying a hefty sum as rent. “My parents have always encouraged me to feel secure and be self-sufficient. I am proud to own a home in Mumbai now, as this is a big step in that direction. I saw many flats from Bandra to Malad and finally bought this one in Goregaon west, as the building has various amenities such as a pool, gym, garden and most importantly, good security” she recalls.

Five-star luxury

Singh says that it took her almost six months, to design her house. With the help of interior designer Shlok Ganatra, she planned everything, down to the minute details.

“Every furniture item in the house is customised. I told him exactly what I wanted and he helped me to pick the décor items and customise my house in the perfect way. I have always loved luxurious hotel rooms and my home feels like a 5-star hotel. I have opted for extravagance, blended with functionality. It is definitely glitzy but not ostentatious. The décor is inspired by my travels and largely portrays my style and sensibilities. I like old-fashioned furniture and carvings,” says the model and actress, who shot to fame when she won the Miss Universal Peace and Humanity in 2014.

All the rooms in her house have velvet and satin curtains, floral wallpapers and a muted colour scheme. The living room and bedroom also have soft white carpets. The velvet sofas with golden armrests, add to the regal touch. “I love all things gold but I have kept it subtle. Hence, the décor is a combination of pastels and off-whites, with just a touch of gold, which adds glamour. The floral wallpapers in the bedrooms give a comforting and restful vibe, while the living room is a bit more extravagant,” she explains.

Starry skies and artistic lighting

Various lighting fixtures add warmth and grandeur to the house. The entire house has daylight spotlights. “I have opted for chandeliers, as it lends a palatial feel to the house. I love the optic fibre glittering lights that Rolls Royce cars’ roofs have, which looks like constellations and have recreated this effect on my bedroom ceiling. I love space and the star lights add an interesting dimension to the house, with its sparkle and glow,” she adds.

Singh’s house, on the 40th floor, also receives ample sunlight. “Back home in Jaipur, we have a big garden. In Mumbai, my mother has helped me to create a small, lovely herb garden. I have around 45 pots in my balcony, where I grow basil, mint, aloe vera, tulsi and coriander, besides flowers like marigold and roses. My serene home reflects my personality. It is my comfort zone – a place to relax and unwind after work. It is a warm cosy space that exudes peace,” she concludes.
