About Me
Hello ! I am Shagufta
I've always believed that a well-designed home doesn't require a big budget — it requires attention. I'm Shagufta, and I've spent the last several years turning that belief into practice, one room at a time. My interest in interior design started when I moved into my first apartment and realized how much the space around you shapes how you feel day to day. What began as weekend research into paint colours and furniture layouts slowly turned into something much deeper — an obsession with understanding how materials, light, and space work together. At The Living Scope, I write about home decor, interior design, DIY improvements, and outdoor living. My focus is always practical: real ideas that work in real homes, with real budgets. I'm not interested in spaces that look beautiful only in photoshoots. I want to help you create a home that actually works for your life. When I'm not writing, I'm usually rearranging furniture, testing a new DIY project, or deep in a rabbit hole comparing flooring options nobody asked me about.
