Valentina Doncevic and Jyotsna Lakhamraju of Valternative share tips on how to craft calming, inviting spaces inspired by your travels and personal history
“Our homes should be an epitome of rest, relaxation, and comfort,” says Valentina Doncevic, who runs interior design consultancy Valternative together with partner and interior designer Jyotsna Lakhamraju. In the course of their work, the dynamic duo and their team have travelled widely, crafting beautiful homes and offices around the world.
“Our varied life experiences and journeys come together to make what is uniquely us; our approach to multicultural influences at home also stems from the same concept,” explains Doncevic. Lakhamraju agrees: “Magic happens when the ancient and modern are side by side.” They reveal how you can design a home that tells a story about your personal history and your travels.
