There are multi-hyphenates, and then there is @mariathattil. Writer, podcaster, TV Presenter, content creator, actor, columnist, speaker… oh, and Miss Universe Australia 2020.
In stark contrast to the frenetic force of her fast-paced life, Maria’s home exudes a sense of calm and composure. “I wanted earthy, neutral tones and lots of organic shapes and textures because that made the space feel grounding and calm. I’m constantly travelling, meeting new people, working to crazy deadlines and juggling so many projects that I really need a space that is my oasis where I can retreat, relax and rejuvenate”, Maria says.
The bedroom – “undoubtedly” her favourite room in the house – is where you’ll find Maria’s other most prized piece; a textured, sculptured nude of a woman which hangs above her bed. “It’s an ode to how I now celebrate my body, comfortability with my sexuality, and I wanted that comfortability to translate to my bedroom. A place where I am meant to rest and unwind, naturally me.”
