Purva shares the home with her parents and sister. Her mother works from home and her father is ‘deeply rooted in routine and ritual’. Just, like her, the family has also contributed to the design and look of the house in their own personal ways.
“My sister painted our childhood into the walls — murals of amaltas blooms, skies brushed into frames, wallpapers illustrated with memories of our garden. My mother’s instinct to collect moments — souvenirs, photos, birthday cards — taught me the beauty of living with memory. My father’s eye for solitude, colour, and detail reminded me where my imagination began. And my grandmother’s presence, though no longer with us, found its way back into the living room, through block prints, sepia- toned photographs, and a feeling of grounding love.”
It’s a home built by her family, for her family.
They describe themselves as a family that revolves around conversation and food. Their home regularly hosts different kinds of guests and evenings — quiet chai catch-ups, festive lunches, and lively extended family gatherings. Instead of centering everything around a single formal living room, the house unfolds into multiple sitting areas to accommodate these varied rhythms.
The television is confined to the bedrooms. The main living spaces remain intentionally screen-free, designed to encourage presence, dialogue, and unhurried meals shared around the table.
The brief for the home was simple yet layered: to create a space that feels expansive, emotionally connected, and deeply reflective of who they are — without losing its Jaipur soul.
