Pankhuri Awasthy Rode: An ideal day at home is waking up late and having lunch and dinner in bed

Pankhuri Awasthy Rode at home

In our special series 'Be My Guest', Pankhuri Awasthy Rode from 'Maddam Sir' takes us into husband Gautam Rode and her private space and gives us a peek into what went into making her beautiful, serene house.

What's your favourite spot in the house?
My favourite spot is a low seating corner, my painting area. It's a cosy spot.

How did you design this area?
I am a big fan of low seating areas. Although there wasn't any nook or corner, it somehow came to my mind. It's within the living area but it's a little space in itself.

How did you choose a colour scheme?
Neutral colours. We have kept it slightly textured with off-white, gold and green. The rest of the house has wooden décor.

What's your favourite decor item?
I like real flowers, when I put them in a corner, it really lights up the house. I like the vibe of plants being there.

What's an ideal day off at home for you?
Waking up late, having lunch and dinner in bed! If I'm not shooting the next day I'd like to go out with Gautam (husband) and some friends and then sleep some more.

What's the most important aspect while deciding about a house?
Sunlight! I choose my space according to that and also Vastu Shastra.

If one ever visits your home, the one thing they will be treated to...
Whatever the guests like! I'd be more than happy to serve what they wish for. If I don't have it I'll order it for them. I like to always be prepared. The one item that you will always find in my pantry is Stacks or Maggi and Oreo biscuits. I like to bake mud cakes with Oreos.

A series you're currently binging on when at home?

I just finished 'Money Heist' but I'm currently watching 'Lost in Space'.

Your favourite gadgets at home
The only gadget I use the most is my phone.
