About Sushmita Patra (Home Improvement)

Sushmita Patra is a home decor and interior styling writer working at the higher end of the market. Her interest sits in the reasoning behind a room rather than its final photograph, why one sofa holds a wall and another disappears against it, why a good textile changes a space more than another accessory will, how proportion does most of the work before colour enters the conversation. She writes about materials and construction as a matter of course, since that is where luxury either exists or does not. Solid timber against veneer, joinery, upholstery specification, hand finishing, weave and drape, and the lead times that come with pieces made properly. Her styling work covers the arrangement side, layering, restraint, negative space and the single decision that resolves a room, while her lifestyle writing follows the same standard into how a house is lived in, entertained in and maintained.
