<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSmriti Mandhana reminded everyone why she’s one of the most dependable names in world cricket when India slipped to 18 for 2 inside the first few overs of their Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 opener against Pakistan on Sunday.The mood at a packed Edgbaston in Birmingham turned anxious, and the crowd held its breath. Then Smriti Mandhana decided to take the game into her own hands.Opening the innings, the Indian vice-captain stood firm through the game and got her half-century off just 34 balls.But once the floodlights dim and the crowds go home, Mandhana returns to a very different world, a quiet, sunlit house in Sangli, Maharashtra, where the noise of the stadium gives way to calm.Instead of loud, flashy celebrity gitz, her space is more about muted brown-and-white tones, soft natural light, textured walls, and a clean look giving the vibe of someone who values peace as much as success.Here are four art and decor inspirations worth taking away from Smriti Mandhana’s beautiful home.<\/p>\n Smriti Mandhana (Photo: @CineAndCricket\/ X)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n One of the prettiest incorporations in Mandhana’s home design is keeping things light and reflective. A glass-top centre table instantly makes a room feel more open, because light passes straight through it instead of being blocked. Her glass top table is filled with shiny white pearls, big and small, which adds to the calming look without any clutter.<\/p>\n Harsh white ceiling lights can make any space feel like an office. Mandhana’s home leans the other way, using soft, warm lighting that wraps the room in a cosy glow. A lamp placed behind her sofa corner casts gentle shadows, giving the space depth and a calm feel.<\/p>\n Across her home, wood does a lot of quiet work. Mandhana\u2019s home pairs her quiet brown-and-white shades across the house with wooden shelves and cabinets that add warmth, texture, and an earthy feel. Beyond looking sophisticated, they can also be put to practical use by hiding clutter and bringing balance to the furniture.<\/p>\n The most personal and nostalgic feature is her trophy wall, which runs the full length of one wall in her living room, displaying the medals and awards she’s earned.You can also dedicate a wall to what matters to you, including framed photos, certificates, travel souvenirs, or small milestones across your career, and takes you down a memory lane. This type of memory wall helps reflect the humble beginning and how far you have come.<\/div>\n![\"Smriti](\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/msid-131737117\/smriti-mandhanas-home-is-the-right-balance-of-sophistication-and-warmth-with-a-tinge-of-nostalgia-art-inspirations-to-take-away.jpg\" "\\"Smriti")
