Just like its colorful owners, their home too boasts of all things cheery, including paintings.

We are referring to Pravina and Jamal Mecklai’s 1,500 sq ft sea-facing apartment in Colaba, South Mumbai. It’s a beautiful mix of art and architecture. Just like its colorful owners, their abode too boasts of all things cheery, bright and colorful, including their profusion of paintings adorning their walls.

So what is the secret behind their curious color co-ordination? The owner of Jamaat Art Gallery recently explained in The DNA interview that during their trip to Thailand they realized that the city follows a color code for every single day of the week. For instance, the Thais wear yellow on Mondays, on Tuesday they flaunt pink, and so on. “We loved the concept and then decided to make it our own!” recalled Jamal.

The profusion of pigs in all shapes, sizes, hues and materials is another peculiar facet of their home. According to Pravina, Jamal has always been obsessed with the animal. He used to get them whenever he could.

Over by the bar there’s a showcase highlighting cut glass and lovely Delft decanters picked from Holland. A giraffe painted by the slum kids belonging to NGO Akanksha, on a yellow and black stool makes it a wonderful kitsch item. The wooden bench that has the words ‘wet paint’ written over it is another striking object. There are fake eggs stuck onto its seat making anyone who sees it feel it would be uncomfortable, but you are proved wrong. It’s an ode to the Swiss craftsmen’s ingenuity.

A beautiful set of terracotta women on their window sill crafted by Goan artist Verodina Ferraoand is another noteworthy collection.
