Style & Splendour Features in the Media

When journalists ask me for tips, I always emphasize that a great table isn't about buying expensive inventory—it's about the little things. Whether it's using marigolds from the local market or upcycling old bottles into centerpieces, my features focus on practical, creative ways to transform your dining space without any unnecessary fuss.

Seeing my work recognized in print has been a surreal journey. From my Diwali styling tips in the Delhi Times to Father's Day table arrangements in the Times of India, I love showing that beautiful hosting is accessible to everyone. My approach always centers on what I call the 'jugaad' philosophy—making the most of what you already have.

In these features, I walk readers through:

• Festive Themes: How to use traditional elements like marigolds, brass, and earthenware to create a warm, inviting atmosphere for festivals like Diwali or Christmas.
• Summer & Seasonal Styling: Using fresh flowers, trivia cards, and bright linens to lighten up a room for a lunch or brunch.
• DIY Hacks: My go-to advice for using items found in markets like Kinari Bazar or Sadar Bazar, or simply reusing jars and bottles you have at home.

Whether you are planning a sit-down dinner or a relaxed high tea, my goal with these articles has always been to give you the confidence to start styling. If you have read one of these features and want to try these techniques yourself, join one of my upcoming workshops. We can take these ideas and apply them directly to your next gathering.
