Falguni & Shane Peacock unveil artistic home Décor on Asian Paints
Mumbai: Having left an indelible mark on the fashion industry with their creative prowess, Falguni and Shane Peacock, the celebrated fashion designers, now reveal their home, showcasing their artistic brilliance in Season 7 of Asian Paints Where The Heart Is.
“This is the first time we are opening up our house to anyone” Falguni expresses as she begins unfolding the designer story nested in every corner of her home.
Embellished with antique pieces sourced from their global travels, their home tells a compelling narrative of the Western inspiration crafted in with an Indian touch. The walls, adorned with Shane’s paintings, transform the space into a vibrant living art gallery. Adding a golden touch, the duo’s signature round peacock motif graces the vintage entrance doors.
Metallic accents punctuate the decor, adding a touch of glamour to the neutral tones that dominate the palette. Every element, from furniture to lighting fixtures, carries the stamp of their design sensibility reaffirming their status as artistic maestros.
Sharing about how the house is reflective of his and Falguni’s personality Shane said “A home speaks about a bond of love in every element of every passage, every wall, and every shelf. It talks about being connected in some form. Because either I’ve done it with Falguni, that’s why it’s there, either it’s with Nian. So it’s always about a bond and shows that how thick family is.”
The ‘collectibles’ across the house serve as a tangible memory, recounting the family’s adventures. In the episode, Shane Peacock also reveals his artistic side and shares his first abstract painting —a treasured artwork capturing the essence of the Peacock family.
“More or less, everything you see has something about us in it. And I think that’s what makes it special because when I look at the elephant, I know where we bought this from. And that tells a story to us” said Shane about the thought that went behind every décor that makes up their space.
Decoding the route behind designing this house, Shane shared, “As designers, we are always around so much colour. At home, we wanted to completely take a different route.”
The episode captures the essence of the Peacock residence, portraying it as a space that emanates warmth and creativity. From the cosy living space to the family area, every corner showcases the designers’ commitment to their craft, with monograms, photos, and even a small bar adding a regal touch.
Season 7 of Asian Paints Where The Heart Is offers fans an exclusive look into the design philosophy and personal anecdotes that shape Falguni and Shane Peacock’s residence into a unique home.

Amazon Ads maps 2026 as AI and streaming rewrite ad playbooks
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
