Step inside the home of the principal designer at Essajees Atelier, Sarah Sham whose vibrant, plant-filled Mumbai abode has vintage bones that add to its quaint, old world charm. While Sham’s home is indeed a reflection of the designer’s own aesthetic—and in many ways, the confidence she has earned to trust her instincts, even when they go against the grain–it is also an homage to the heritage of the city. “When you’re in this beautiful heritage building, you do owe some respect to the space that you’re coming into.” Sham opened up to what the apartment had to offer, and the space obliged. “It is comfortable, modern living, with an aesthetic that is based in heritage.” Stay tuned for the full tour!
