The Story
For Selin Zalma and Siddhesh Karmali, home is where the fun is. “Most people take life too seriously — my husband and I included,” says Selin. “We wanted our house to remind us to have a good time.”
The couple, who has two young sons, found the perfect blank slate in a newly renovated 1,400-square-foot apartment in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Before they moved in, Selin and Siddhesh called their friend Rozit Arditi, a designer Selin knew growing up in Istanbul. Together, Selin and Rozit spent months poring over wallpaper samples, hunting for ways to liven up the apartment’s stark white walls. “It wasn’t a chore at all — the patterns we looked at were really fun,” says Selin. One by one, they covered each room in an eye-catching print that would make the whole family smile.
