Sensory Interior Design: How Touch, Weight, and Resonance Shape a Home
Sensory interior design curates a home around touch, weight, and emotional resonance rather than purely visual appeal. Drawing together threads from earlier articles on natural cotton, wabi-sabi, and small moments of art, Alpesh explores why the rooms we love most are the ones we feel, and how to design for that.
How to Mix Patterns in Small Spaces
Small rooms are not a reason to avoid pattern; they are a reason to mix it well. Writing from his own London apartment, Alpesh shares the working rules he uses as a pattern designer, vary the scale, share a palette, let solids rest the eye, and why texture deserves to be counted as a pattern too.
What is Wabi-Sabi Interior Design?
Wabi-sabi is the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and the quietly incomplete. After travelling through Nara, Kyoto, Tokyo, and Osaka, Alpesh reflects on what the idea really asks of a home, and why the answer is less about buying beige things and more about how you look.
How to Style Your Home with Art Deco
Art Deco works best at home in small, deliberate doses: one confident piece, warm metallics, and calm surroundings. Drawing on the streets Alpesh grew up around, home to one of the world's largest collections of Deco buildings, here is how to style the era without turning your living room into a film set.
