Take a tour inside Pranit More's elegant residence that proves how understated interiors can shine when done right

Bigg Boss 19 fame Pranit More’s peaceful Mumbai residence carries the essence of a warm minimalist home. Let's check it out and look for takeaways.
A welcoming home's interior doesn't always require grandeur or unconventional decor that screams extravaganza. Sometimes, rooted and humble design choices can stand out just as elegantly. This is evident in stand-up comedian Pranit More, who was recently seen on Big Boss season 19. The comedian offered a glimpse into his home through a house tour featured in Farah Khan's latest YouTube video on January 16.
More about the interiors
The first room upon entrance is the living room, where one corner features a small white mandir for prayer, sitting atop a wooden cabinet. An orange-brown sofa serves as a visual anchor for the space, while the circular coffee table and rug provide a nice balance. Recessed lighting, along with the wall scones, pairs well. The wall panelling also perfectly matches the neutral-shaded flooring.
Next, there is a highlight that draws people in: a display wall featuring a wide range of personal items, from framed pictures to sculptures to action figures. Consistent with the overall design plan, the bright and airy layout features biophilic elements through many potted plants. Inside, there is another room featuring a quaint, foresty wallpaper. Overall, the home feels very intimate. It is airy and replete with greenery. The balcony, too, has good views with hanging pots.
What is the aesthetic?
The aesthetic is warm because of the generous way the personal keepsakes are arranged, while it is also minimalistic because of the minimal statement decor pieces.
Usually, the regular minimalism feels cold or empty, but this one has an interesting edge: it keeps less-is-more philosophy for furniture, but more-is-more for memories and personality.
It also includes adding greenery. In fact, use potted plants to break the visual monotony.
If you wish to ace the warm minimalist trend, consider adopting biophilic elements at home gradually, from adding green plants to the garden to creating necessary blank space with fewer pieces of furniture.

ABOUT THE AUTHORAdrija DeyAdrija Dey’s proclivity for observation fuels her storytelling instinct. As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point. A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
