In an intimate home tour with Asian Paints, acclaimed actor Keerthy Suresh and her husband Antony Thattil have welcomed viewers into their Kochi residence, offering a rare peek into their personal sanctuary. Dubbed the 'House of Fun', their home is a heartfelt blend of modern aesthetics and traditional warmth, set against the serene backdrop of Kerala's backwaters.
A Home That Tells Their Story
The couple's residence is more than just a living space; it's a scrapbook of memories that reflect both Keerthy and Antony's personalities. From the sunlit living room that feels like a favourite café to the personal corners filled with memorabilia, every element speaks volumes about their journey together.
The Living Room: A Celebration of Milestones
The living area opens without formal barriers, featuring cosy seating and natural light. It proudly displays tokens from Keerthy's illustrious career, including photos and mementos that celebrate significant achievements such as her National Award for Mahanati.
Kitchen and Dining: Seasoned with Love
Just beyond lies the open kitchen, painted in soft, inviting tones that exude freshness. Green cabinets add a vibrant touch, while a hanging sign declares, "This kitchen is seasoned with love." Adjacent to it, a diner-style eating nook is adorned with black-and-white photographs from their wedding, along with a framed copy of their invitation card, narrating a love story that took years to blossom.
Keerthy's Candid Confession: "I Thought We Will Elope"
During the tour, Keerthy opened up about her marriage, revealing how unexpected the grand celebration felt. "We never even dreamt of a wedding like this because literally I thought we will elope," she shared. Reflecting on the ceremony, she added, "I never dreamt of a wedding like this... You've been longing for 15 years and that's all come to those 30 seconds. At that point, I couldn't see anything else. I was all blank." She also mentioned it was the first time she saw Antony tear up, describing their journey as beautiful and great.
Bedrooms: A Relaxing Retreat
Keerthy's bedroom features textured grey walls that provide depth and warmth, complemented by a four-poster bed with a woven cane headboard. The space maintains a calming palette while allowing colourful accessories, art, and textiles to stand out, creating a perfect balance of comfort and style.
The Balcony: An Intoxicating View
The wraparound balcony serves as both a relaxation zone and a social space, planted with greenery and furnished with comfortable seating. It overlooks the city skyline and includes a bar counter embedded with hundreds of personal photographs preserved in clear resin. A playful plaque overhead reads, 'Nobody gets out sober,' echoing Keerthy's description of the view as 'very intoxicating.'
Personal Corners and Memorabilia
What truly sets this home apart are the intimate corners that tell big stories. In addition to the award collage, there's a moon artwork that charts the lunar phases on the day the couple started dating and their wedding day, turning celestial moments into art. Photo walls throughout document family milestones, friends' visits, and shared moments, ensuring every wall and corner carries a story of its own.
Keerthy's Advice for Dream Homes
Keerthy shared a thoughtful message for young people building their dream homes: "Make sure you do something deeply personal. Everything in the house should either speak to you or speak about you. Make it a house of fun—how happy you feel at home is what matters most. Keep that personal touch, surround yourself with things you can talk about." This philosophy is evident throughout their Kochi home, making it a true reflection of their 15-year romance and shared life.
