Diverse professions never stopped Syam Sunder and Visala from donning new role of interior-designer to beautify their home, says Deepa Raparla.

A DOLL'S face tucked in at the apex of a plant giving an impact of something unbelievable for an instant and throwing the onlookers to a sudden bewilderment is just a foretaste of the innovativeness this family could present.
With many remarkable and tasteful artefacts sprucing up the place, the dwelling has a fascinating appeal. It is even more interesting to know that the members of the family contribute the most to embellish their domain.
A bewitching display of Lord Ganesha's figurines in porcelain, clay and glass elegantly placed, exhibiting a collection crossing more than 130, by Visala, is stunning.
Also amazing are the wide range of collection of 'Deepa Alankaranas' made with clay and wood, from the smallest possible size to the largest which bejewelled the sitting area. While the entire abode is dominated by skillfully-carved two-sided Saharanpur furniture, a few striking pieces of fixtures are obtained from the dismantled antique houses, which are brilliantly trimmed as per the need.
A painting reflecting a musician's mood, decked in the main sitting tuned to elevate the moods, while the classical melodious instrument Veena appears brazen on the old-styled divan, waiting to be stringed.
The temple carvings, giving the feel of the traditional 'Silpi fashioning', embedded at every access way is eye-catching. The bedroom is a delight with bright bedspreads revealing the design of wheels and rich gathering of artwork.
The sunglass-covered cabinets, toned to its wallpaper, have given the space a good finish.
The room is a showground for the budding talents of Deepika and Bhushan. With striking pieces of art including nib painting, stroke painting, cone painting (Mehendi art depicting several hidden animals and birds) and oil paintings, the room has an artistic charm.
With medals and cups swarming the racks, the talented trio, Bhushan bagging the cups for swimming, while Deepika for singing and Visala for horticulture, the family certainly is an embodiment of talent.
Rare creations made of fish-bone, ivory, porcelain and aluminum have decorated the shelves. The lucid presentation of the Tanjore paintings, amidst the wood-carved relics, is appealing.
The kitchen, with its easy sit-in counter and the sunglass-finished woodwork, is a place every one in the house longs to spend time with one another. If you think stacks of money
and an interior designer are what one needs to make a house, well, this family can make you reconsider your opinion.
Syam Sunder, a charted accountant, his extremely talented wife Visala, a lecturer in chemistry, their two children, have together become the architects and interior designers to make this beautiful residence.
