“Sadgi: Wellness Interior Design by Simplicity” by Anushka Gupta is a refreshing take on what it truly means to design a home — and a life — that feels calm, authentic, and deeply personal. Moving away from the glossy, picture-perfect ideals often seen online, this book invites readers into a world where design isn’t about perfection, but about peace.
At its heart, “Sadgi” introduces the D-O-D-I-Y philosophy: Declutter, Organise, Decor — By Yourself. Through this concept, Anushka redefines interior design as a mindful, introspective process rather than a material one. She encourages readers to look beyond matching cushions or trending wall colours and instead reflect on how their spaces make them feel. This is not a manual for creating designer homes — it’s a gentle guide for creating environments that nurture mental wellness, balance, and self-expression.
The book offers practical yet soulful guidance for anyone seeking simplicity in an increasingly chaotic world. It helps readers let go of what no longer serves them, organise spaces that support their routines and aspirations, and infuse their surroundings with beauty that mirrors their inner calm. Whether you live in a small apartment or a spacious house, Anushka’s approach proves that peace and elegance can be achieved through intentionality rather than expenditure.
Drawing from her extensive experience as an architect and interior designer, Anushka Gupta brings both expertise and empathy to her writing. Having worked in cities such as Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Indore, and Gwalior, she has completed over forty projects that have shaped her belief in the power of simplicity. A graduate of the Government College MITS, Gwalior, and a learner of design-led strategy from the University of Sydney, she blends creative precision with strategic thinking. Currently teaching in Indore, she continues to inspire the next generation of designers to find harmony between aesthetics and mindfulness.
“Sadgi” is more than a book — it’s an experience of slowing down, breathing, and building spaces that soothe rather than overwhelm. It’s a reminder that true beauty lies not in adding more, but in appreciating less — in the quiet corners, the open shelves, and the light that fills a room uncluttered by chaos.
Through every page, Anushka Gupta invites readers to embrace simplicity not as a trend, but as a timeless philosophy of living well — within our homes and within ourselves.
