It’s all about accessorising: Inside Janavi Javeri’s Home Edit at The Wedding Collective

You may arrive at The Wedding Collective thinking about bridal couture, jewellery, or what to pack for a honeymoon, but between choosing the right lehenga and contemplating your diamond set for your pheras, Janavi Jhaveri would like you to consider changing your coffee mug.

The founder of Mumbai-based interior styling studio Walls and Things returns to curate the second edition of the Home Edit, a dedicated section bringing together design objects, lighting, tableware, and art that visitors can incorporate into their homes without requiring a full-scale renovation.

When the Home Edit debuted at The Wedding Collective last year, it was something of an experiment. “It was very unexpected and unique to have an entire home section at a wedding show,” Javeri says. “We felt that a lot of the clientele were connecting with the pieces because wedding shows are typically more focused on jewellery and fashion, but the Home Edit ended up being a very good breather. People actually enjoyed walking through the entire edit, spending a good 30 to 45 minutes just between six booths,” she says.

This year, Javeri has refined the concept around a simple idea: accessorising the home. Rather than presenting large rugs or pieces of furniture that require extensive planning and input from an interior designer or architect, the edit is focused on pieces that can be bought on the spot and introduced into an existing space. “A newly wedded couple or a bride would want to make a certain amount of changes to the space with a few new things. We’re catering to changes they could easily do on their own terms,” she explains.

Designed like a concept store, the curation brings together six names—Rural Modern Glass Studio by Arjun Rathi, Arttd'inox, Baccarat with Lux Abode, Spacio Decor and Accessories, Art Originals, Studio3—each offering a different route to refreshing a room. “There’s so much available out there in the market that at the end of the day the consumer is always very confused. This is a little bit like a concept store where you’ll find smaller elements that’ll make your space feel like it’s all coming together.”

For an instant change in atmosphere, there’s Rural Modern Glass Studio by Arjun Rathi, whose minimalist, geometric lamps with glowing orbs add character to an otherwise neutral home. There are also more colourful, expressive, colourful pieces that add warmth, movement, or visual drama without the need to rearrange the entire room.

Arttd’inox, meanwhile, looks to one of the most practical parts of the home: the dining table. Its stainless steel servewear and decor pieces combine utility with personality, and sometimes, even a sense of humour (check out the José Lévy collab for proof), illustrating that everyday pieces don’t need to fade into the background. A new tray, set of bowls, or water pitcher might seem like a small purchase, but can change how a table comes together—especially when you’re hosting guests. 

If you’re looking for a special gift and not sure about the recipient’s interior tastes, Baccarat, which just made its India debut through Lux Abode, is a one and done solution. “You can’t really go wrong with Baccarat—they have beautiful, classic crystal pieces. Their tea light sets, candles, and bar accessories are great additions to most modern homes,” says Javeri.

Spacio Decor and Accessories widens the selection with unique artworks and decor pieces made from metal, glass, crystal, wood, ceramic, and porcelain. “Spacio is doing lovely imports of one-off Italian pieces, which is great for anyone looking for statement pieces,” she adds. If you’re on the hunt for a single object that can anchor a console, side table, or corner, this is the booth to be at.

Javeri believes the finishing touches are what makes a home feel more personal. “Marble will always be in shades of white, grey, or beige, but your accessories do the talking of who you really are,” she says.

The philosophy extends to the walls. In response to a growing interest in collecting art among young people, Javeri has brought together two galleries into this year’s edit, each catering to a different sensibility. “People are either going for pop art or going down the traditional route with something a little more classic. This year we have two art brands on board: Art Originals has fun, pop-driven pieces that create a statement and Studio3 has the more classic, serious art,” says Javeri.

Instead of choosing one style over the other, Javeri encourages visitors to mix references. “I think Indian styling is all about that,” she adds. “The curation is a mix of local handicrafts as well as a few of the international pieces that kind of make that statement in your house. Even when we style houses professionally, we use a combination of both local and international pieces which work beautifully.”

The Home Edit also addresses one of the more complicated parts of wedding attendance: finding a gift that feels thoughtful and won't end up in the re-gift pile. “Most houses are now modern contemporary,” she says, adding that art, crystal, bar accessories, serveware, and decor objects all offer alternatives to the predictable envelope. For couples looking to get married and move in together, it offers a chance to identify objects that can make a shared space more individual or simply look at an existing room with fresh eyes.

“The whole idea is that here, you don’t need an interior designer or an architect. These are changes you can make by yourself, whether it’s simply changing your morning cup of coffee, adding bedspread to the bed, or adding a sculpture, a nice crystal piece, or an artwork to your room. Adding soft touches like vases, sculptures, paintings, cushions, artefacts—those are the things that kind of even make the space speak to the person’s personality,” Javeri says.
