4 min readNew DelhiJul 10, 2026 09:00 PM Madhoo Shah recently opened the doors to her stunning sea-facing residence for a home tour. The Roja actor, who married in 1999, revealed that she moved into the house soon after her wedding and has been living there ever since with her husband, mother-in-law, and two children.
During the home tour with Pinkvilla Lifestyle Plus, Madhoo shared that despite the house being decades old, it continues to give her a sense of comfort and warmth that modern homes often lack.
Vintage aesthetics, Chinese bed
The house opens to an expansive living space that beautifully blends vintage aesthetics with personal touches, creating a space that feels both luxurious and vintage.
The home’s entrance immediately reflects the family’s spiritual beliefs. A painting of Lord Ganesha to welcome guests, while several idols are placed throughout the house to maintain positive energy. The walls are adorned with paintings of Lord Buddha, Mother Mary, and angels, reflecting a harmonious blend of faith and artic expression in the actor’s family.

The spacious living room stands out with its elegant cream and beige colour palette. Madhoo revealed that she intentionally added touches of red across the space to bring a pop of colour. The room is furnished with vintage pieces that exude a timeless appeal.
One of the highlights is a Chinese bed placed in the hall. The actor shared that there were originally two such beds, but one was removed to make the space feel less crowded.
The hall is also decorated with antique collectables and glass showpieces, adding character to the interiors. Large windows open up to picturesque views of the ocean, allowing natural light and fresh air to flood the space.Story continues below this ad

Instead, her husband and mother-in-law personally curated the interiors with their own vision and personal touches to every corner of the space.

Balancing maximalism with clutter-free spaces
Sachin Gupta, Founder and Principal Designer at Beyond Designs, explained how designers strike a balance between visually rich interiors and clutter-free spaces. He shared that maximalism requires sequencing. “In every room, we decide the hierarchy of what the eye should meet first, what it discovers next, and what it rests on. When that sequence is designed with intention, a visually rich space feels orchestrated rather than overwhelming. The richness becomes something you explore gradually, not something that confronts you all at once,” he said.
Gupta added, “We also rely heavily on material and tonal coherence to hold a layered room together. You can have a room with six different cultural influences, as our work often does, but if the palette, the finish quality, and the scale of the objects are all speaking the same language, the room reads as considered rather than chaotic.”
