The COVID-19 pandemic had taught us many things. From taking care of our health to paying attention to our relationships and people, who matter, the Coronavirus made us value the little pleasures of life. However, the most important thing, which we learnt during these strange times, is the art of turning our homes into a place, where we can happily spend our cooped days of complete lockdown.
In the midst of it, celebrity homes always give us the necessary inspiration. Over the years, we have seen countless jaw-dropping celebrity homes, but our favourite till date is, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Anand Ahuja's London abode, which is an embodiment of their personalities.

Being away from home can be hard at times, and so Rooshad did a marvelous job of marrying British architecture with the Indian aesthetic and richness. While India is my soul, London has my heart."
