I used to consider myself an aesthete. But lately, I find myself less of a creator and more of an admirer —especially of the world my wife, Diya, effortlessly crafts around us.
Some people seem to just get aesthetics - they possess a natural instinct to create magic out of ordinary.
Diya doubles down on this instinct with deep research, and sincerity. She visualizes spaces, styles, and experiences with an innate sense of harmony—always considering not just what she likes, but what would bring joy to those around her.
I often find myself marveling at how she does it. At first I used to think maybe it's her research muscle at play - to dig up great inspirations from Pinterest or social media. But I've come to realize that research is just a fraction of her design process. The real magic lies in her ability to curate disconnected elements into a cohesive, inviting space - one that brings warmth, comfort and vividity in our everyday lives.
She picks colors that breathe life into the room, always ensuring I love them too. And then, there's the way she styles herself - a subtle, quiet confidence, that makes even the simplest outfits stand out.
And sometimes, just sometimes, I wonder if the world is secretly following her lead.
The Magic of Colors in Our Home
I agree now more than ever, that colors have the power to shape emotions. Diya seems to masterfully wield that power. Perfectly placed plants, a jute mat on the coffee table that contrasts just right, curtains that catch the warm evening light in a way that soothes the senses—small changes in her hands create an entirely new energy in the room. Even our dog, Cooper, seems to sense the comfort in this positive ambiance.
What makes her approach unique is how dynamic it is. She never overdoes it, is quick to iterate, and never clings to something that doesn’t fit our ever-evolving lifestyle. Whether it’s earthy, grounding tones or an unexpected, maverick splash of color, her choices are always intentional. Sometimes, we talk about how she should turn this into a professional endeavor. Honestly, I think she already operates at that level—just without the business card!
Her Fashion: A Step Ahead of the World
There's something funny I've noticed: what Diya wears today, I start seeing everywhere a few weeks later. It could be an assortment of striped blue shirts, or a classic jeans-and-tee combo paired with perfect sneakers. Suddenly, her colleagues, our friends, and even movie stars are wearing the exact same thing. Logically, I know it's just a coincidence, (or maybe The Baader-Meinhof effect at play), but I like to believe she's predicting trends - silently shaping the fashion world without even trying!
Aesthetic Vision Beyond Objects
Diya's sense of aesthetics is beyond interiors or fashion. It's in the way she arranges flowers in a vase, the thoughtfulness behind every gift she picks, the way she sets a dinner table with just the right balance of elegance and warmth.
She brings beauty into the everyday—not through extravagance, but through small, intentional choices. And the best part? She does it effortlessly, without seeking validation. She simply follows what feels right.
Conclusion: The Style Icon in My Life
I’m surely biased, but I truly believe Diya has a gift. Our home, our wardrobes (yes, she has had her imprint on mine too!), and even the smallest details of our life reflect her artistic intuition.
And maybe—just maybe—the world really is taking notes.
