I had a chance meeting with the very gracious Huma Butt when she invited a common group of friends to learn Baklava. Not only did I end up learning her lip smacking recipe but also couldn’t stop appreciating her tastefully done up home. I just had to share this gorgeous home with you all.
Huma originally hails from Pakistan but has been living in Nairobi for more than 30 years. Huma and her husband have put in a lot of hard work into designing and lovingly collecting furniture and artwork for their home, which clearly reflects in the warmth that this beautiful space emits.
Huma recalls that it was the positive vibe of this place that made her choose this apartment over others. When she chose this place about a decade ago, there was construction going on with rubble all around her but she went by her instinct and is very happy with her decision today.
So here is a tour of her warm and welcoming space! Enjoy!
Living Room
This is the heart of the home as the couple love to entertain a lot. The dining space seamlessly flows into the living space with easy access from the kitchen.
The Balcony
I had shared this swing on my Instagram feed and was much appreciated. This is the homeowners place of choice to relax and unwind .
Reading and Entertainment room
Bedrooms
Simple and serene spaces with tasteful accessories and textiles
Kitchen
This pretty Kitchen has an even prettier breakfast nook
Homeowner’s favourite pieces
I hope you enjoyed this home tour as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Thank You dear Huma for very kindly opening your home and welcoming us for a tour.
