Parmesh Shahani's home is a sensory overload inspired by his queer identity

Parmesh Shahani has a very interesting outlook on his aesthetic. He purchased his first home, a two-bedroom apartment in Vikhroli, Mumbai that he then designed himself. He gets his inspiration from his love for fashion, textile and Bollywood. While designing his variedly patterned home, he had a very clear idea of what he wanted his aesthetic to be and that it has only been growing since he was young and his epithets-“rasik”, “sensuous”, “queer”, “maximalist”, “exuberant”-are as if shining from every pore of his being lending him a neon glow that makes everything else in his vicinity appear staid. The Sabyasachi collection with Asian Paints greatly appealed to him while decorating the walls. The dining set that sits has a mother-of-pearl inlay. The rest of the décor is formed by antiques, wall posters and art collected by Parmesh over the years. His queer identity, travels, books and experiences are at the core of planning his beautiful home.

“Did I ask you, baba?” He and I are best friends in my head now. The way he effortlessly mixes patterns and textures is what I strive for.

[@sangitaekka]

What an amazing person. I am a minimalist, but his home doesn't feel like an overload, things are in symphony. Also, "I am not most people, darling"! Gotta steal that.

[@ajinkyapc]

Parmesh is a powerhouse. So much packed in this 5 mins video. Love you, Parmesh!

[@shivanijoshi11]

“I am not most people darling” love you and your energy! #beyou #doyou

[@mariaecheverria8747]

Adore your home. The decor is totally you!! Love it!!

[@sherj3843]

What a vibrant, fun, happy home Parmesh! From a fellow fabric-hoarding maximalist, LOVE!!!

[@padmaja80]

Amazing.....the way different wallpapers adorn his house so well that it's a harmonious blend. Love it

[@andromeda9391]

Your love for textiles, colours and the Indian history to it all, absolutely love it. Indian homes must be multicolored, love how Pride themed it looks!!😌

[@gayatrim3826]

Love that bit he said, about the "presence of absence". That place in time is the most sublime and powerful of moments in existence, for me. This style is a lot for me to take in, but seems like a great expression of himself. ♥

[@rachelbowerman361]

Omgsh I love him and all those beautiful prints and artwork. Especially love the pairing of jewelry with the outfits, how inspired and inspiring is he!

[@manjima411]

This home is my idea of heaven and my mom's idea of a nightmare. His home is living breathing art!

[@prishlavrghs]

I loved the way he explained how he got each piece put together. The happiness in his voice showed how much he loved and enjoyed dressing up his nest 💕

[@gwenwade6059]

You are joyous. Loved finding you. Seeing you. Those mangrove treetops are sheer bliss. A green cloud of nature styled topiary tops!

[@silpzzzz]

This was soooo enticing to watch and it's just so much you in the way the place looks. Eclectic quirky honest and fun

[@mahuaseth4248]

Love it .... your candidness and fun loving personality comes out in everything.

[@shobhanavijaykumar8420]

What a lovely ,colourful, over the top house, and it must be a joy to live in it!! And there are so many lovely , quirky, objet'd'art that one can feast ones eyes on!

[@vijayanemakal2084]

Beautiful designing. Beautiful home. Awesome perspective on life. Going to absolutely take his advice on not giving up, apply it to all facets of life 🙂

[@bisouselle]

I absolutely loved this, AND him! Such a beautiful, warm, and inviting space.

[@kavitanair9209]

This is all in one….i always felt too much is cluttered but here each and every corner is well coordinated and loved the way he was very clear on his choice ….❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jagori4909]

His home decor choices are fantastic, it was a great pleasure to see his living space.

[@gwenwade6059]

You are your authentic self. Love your creative expression as exhibited here.

[@76svetlana]

Loved the beautiful, vibrant home. Somehow it all looks coming together and belonging there perfectly.

[@vmurt]

Amazing style! Will take inspiration for my own place!!

[@anubaid8537]

What an amazing way to live ..never thought ,so many colourful things would actually create wonders 👌

[@change962]

Beautiful, cheerful home. Love it.

[@kuldeeppant3706]

Beautiful, colourful, enigmatic, such a celebration of onself and one's identity.🥰❤. Absolutely loved the vibe.

[@MaristelaCoelhoFerreira]

Oi! Eu amei tudo. Seu apartamento é lindo. Muito bem decorado e divertido. Divertido como você. Só senti falta da cozinha. Você não mostrou, e fiquei curiosa. ❤ from Rio-Brazil.

[@GG-be7ks]

"More is More" is more difficult to pull! Sonam Kapoor's house gave me nightmares, yours is soothing and beautiful.

[@vikasapte7952]

Awesome person and the most beautiful home i have seen 👍

[@meenaxi1910]

Love, love, love Parmesh’s energy!!

[@bhaswatichakrabarty536]

A big thubms up. Watched twice. First to listen to your valuable notion about life n art and the second time I actually ran my eyes through those gorgeous accents. Love love love

[@mahuabhattacharya114]

Awesomely inspiring❤❤❤ pRmesh

[@nandanbhardwaj8464]

love it. really inspired by the my home turns me on statement. off to brighten up my home!

[@appudipu]

High level of artistic intelligence. Rare person.

[@TheSoleSpeaks]

I love everything about this home and of course, Parmesh. One person who really lives up to his public image (I have had the opportunity to work with him). He is so mindful of inclusion in his everyday life, it's ever inspiring. And, even though I'm a thorough minimalist, I still find the strength to be myself in his maximalist ways.

[@amandachrome9310]

Love the vibes he gives off... its almost like smelling a lovely scent from the 📺

[@priya3120]

Woow the way Parmesh express!

[@simrannischal7678]

"The presence of absence" this phrase😍

[@hemalshah8351]

Amazing... Just amazing!!!

[@thakurshouryapratapsingh3506]

Beautiful & Artistic.... Not really my style but I can certainly appreciate when something is done tastefully. You can find atleast a dozen of different Indian Arts in his living room... & That's real luxury. His home represents him & not the architect or the builder or the interior designer & that's how it should be. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@pieterwolt1245]

great,more please

Amazing space

[@hassuharmony7156]

LEAVE the home aside. It's beautiful yes but the guy is so cool. Loved listening to him talk.

[@aartirawat4306]

Loved it ❤

[@AniBanerjee1]

Your maximalist home is so coordinated and harmonious, and so very beautiful! If you don't mind my asking, what is the art work in 3:50? I am fascinated.

[@aritrakarakart5163]

i actually want to know the artist of the painting at 4:46

[@geetanjaleesaikia1894]

This is absolutely amazing....maybe one of the cushions was assamese "gamusa" inspired....

[@alisadotson8403]

I agree: minimalism is a cop out.

[@leizelduhaylungsod7563]

i love his style :)

[@sdeb3333]

'Did I ask you baba?!' this casual passive agressive rudeness is nothing to celebrate! I don't understand why the tendency to 'give it off' at the drop of a hat has caught up with so many these days especially in our lgbt community. Such rash reaction to such a harmless suggestion puts you down eventually. The person was probably trying his best to assist you and here you are basking in pride from having been an a****** to him. And no, your past can not be justification to that. Just you smiling the whole time doesn't immideatly make you a good person.

[@nandanbhardwaj8464]

the ability to pushback is an essential skill for the marginalised. no excuse for rudeness in general, but the sales guy could have been patronising and judgy too!

[@sdeb3333]

@@nandanbhardwaj8464 Could be Nandan. Agreed. In this case I don't know for sure what exactly happend as i wasn't present in the scene. But I spoke of a general phenomenon i am witnessing often. Technically I should have mentioned that in my comment, but it hardly matters to this guy, anyway he's getting so much love in the comment section. 😁

[@MacFlakes]

Do beautiful and eclectic

[@kalyanitokekar909]

Enthusiastic person, decorated home as per his taste.... He is happy with it is what matters.... Personally for me such a style or too many things look like a cluttered house

[@CK30585]

I like the fabrics but not the cluttered art and wallpapers on the walls. There should be some blank space too. Furniture is good 👍

[@nandanbhardwaj8464]

did he ask you baba? :)
