There is a special light in Sheila's house. It enters delicately, especially in the living area, where the sofa welcomes pauses and thoughts, and where every object seems to tell a story. And it is there that one of the symbolic objects of the house is found: a rice paper lamp, delicate, suspended, poetic.
It combines form and lightness, memory and irony. An element that gives the room a soft and enveloping light, capable of changing the atmosphere with discretion and character.
That lamp is much more than a light source: it is a stylistic gesture, a nod to Eastern tradition reinterpreted in a contemporary key.
Its ethereal design fits perfectly into a space that speaks of connections between past and present.
Sheila, now involved in theatre production, lives the domestic space as a natural extension of her personality: welcoming, fluid, kind. A nest where design meets memory, and furniture becomes a tool to tell oneself.
“My home is generous, dynamic and kind,” she says. Generous because it welcomes friends, ideas, moments. Dynamic because, like music, it is never still: it changes, evolves, resonates. And kind because every corner is cared for with sensitivity, attention, listening.
Sheila's house is furnished with a palette that speaks her emotional language : sugar paper and sienna , a harmonious contrast between cool and warm, between sky and earth.
Dusty blue brings serenity and depth, while earthy tones add warmth and grounding. Together they create a visual balance that perfectly reflects her personality: thoughtful yet welcoming, creative and down-to-earth.
Even through colors, Sheila builds an environment that does not follow fashion, but its history.
Passionate about female portraits, Sheila collects works that speak of identity and strength.
But the furnishings also participate in the story .
The most recent piece is a mirror in the entrance, almost an invitation to reflect on who comes in and who goes out, on what we bring with us.
And then there are the suitcases , used to lift objects, memories. Small domestic altars that speak of travels, of transits and of distant places that continue to live through things.
At TaniniHome we are passionate about travel , cultures and identity objects , which is why our furniture selections embrace stories , roots and craftsmanship . Objects that bring with them the beauty of imperfections, the authenticity of cultures, the strength of the past that meets the present. A style that Sheila feels close to her own way of living, where the contemporary is not cold but vibrant, contaminated, alive.
For those who — like her — build their home as a visual diary , each piece chosen is a trace: a travel memory, a tribute to the aesthetics of a culture, a detail that invites you to slow down and observe.
Sheila shows us how home is not just a refuge, but a narrative space.
Every object becomes part of a larger story: ours.
