Some homes are decorated. Others are lived in, and you can feel it. As Diwali nears, Sunita Ahuja opened the doors of the Mumbai house she shares with Govinda in an exclusive Pinkvilla home tour. The result is a warm, old-world space where every shelf holds a story.

Sunita Ahuja and Govinda Home Tour

Space	Key Design Highlights

Living Room	Cream, ivory, forest green, mustard and chocolate brown palette

A Welcoming Entrance

The classic look starts at the front door. A solid wooden door with slatted detailing sets the tone, and during Diwali it gets traditional decorations and lights, making the threshold feel like a celebration.

The Living Room: Old-World Charm Meets Luxury

The living room is the showstopper. Cream and ivory walls act as a calm backdrop for bold furniture, including deep green button-tufted leather armchairs, mustard-yellow seating and a dark brown Chesterfield-style sofa. Soft cushions keep the rich textures from feeling heavy.

The room’s European character comes from its architecture rather than wallpaper. Elaborate cornices and panel detailing create depth and visual interest.

Dining Area and Teal Display Wall

The dining space follows the same classic theme. A large marble-effect table anchors the room, and glass-fronted cabinets show off crockery and glassware, with cream finishes and gold touches adding polish.

The most distinctive feature is the deep teal display shelving, which runs from floor to ceiling. It holds framed family photos, awards, plaques and figurines, so personal memorabilia becomes part of the interior. The strong colour also contrasts nicely with the cream-heavy rooms.

More Than a House

Natural light flows through large windows, and patterned curtains and glass doors link the indoors to the outdoors. Sunita describes the home as her favourite space, filled with happy memories from nearly four decades. If you want to borrow ideas for your own Diwali décor, a statement display wall and a layered neutral palette are easy places to start.
