Some celebrity homes feel like they were bought off a catalogue. Then there are others that feel like they are filled with warmth, layered, and loved; each corner is designed and shaped over time.That’s the kind of home actor siblings Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem have built together in Mumbai. Their home is all about just being exactly personal, a little quirky, and clearly the product of someone who enjoys collecting, repurposing, and experimenting rather than simply decorating by the book.Huma has spoken about her natural artistry, and that instinct shows up in almost every design choice inside the home she shares with her brother.Recently, she gave a home tour on Farah Khan’s YouTube channel series ‘Fun with Farah ’, which gave the audience a peek into her much-decorated artistic and warm abode.Here are some art inspirations to take away from Huma Qureshi’s home

Floral wallpaper from the roof to the walls
One of the standout features of the home is its use of bold, Mughal-inspired floral wallpaper that runs generously across the walls. In the Qureshi home’s waiting area, a floral waterpaint print wallpaper runs down from the roof to the walls, making it an eye catchy artist feature just upon entering their house.Instead of treating wallpaper as a background detail, it’s used almost like a piece of art, adding pattern, colour, and personality to the room.
A layered cane chandelier
Lighting doesn’t always have to come from a traditional fixture. A chandelier built from repurposed materials adds an unexpected, conversation-starting element to a room.In the Qureshi household, the cane chandelier hangs over their dining table. What attracts the eye to the hanging fixture is its abstract wave-like shape, laden with a warm light source that gives the dining area a sense of warmth and embrace.
Old trunks refurbished into center tables
Vintage trunks, instead of being tucked away in storage, are repurposed here as center tables. This element simply adds character and a vintage touch to a living space without spending a fortune.
Doodle art cushions add to the personality
Cushions with playful, doodle-style art bring a light, informal energy into the seating areas. In Huma Qureshi’s home, doodled white chisions are placed on black leather chairs that make the element stand out in the room and add character to the space without being too dramatic, just cool.
