Did you know that in France, pink toilet paper isn’t just a cute bathroom accessory—it’s a quiet expression of elegance? While most of the world reaches for plain white rolls, the French have turned their bathrooms into spaces of charm and personality.
For decades, pink toilet paper has been the preferred choice in French homes, especially among those who value design and luxury. The soft pastel hue is often associated with cleanliness, warmth, and romance—a nod to the country’s enduring love for aesthetic beauty in even the most ordinary details.
In the mid-20th century, when colored toilet paper first became available, France embraced the pink shade for its visual softness and pleasant appearance against tiled walls and marble bathrooms. Over time, the color became a symbol of refinement, often seen in boutique hotels, stylish apartments, and upscale stores.
Cultural experts say that the French appreciation for pink toilet paper reflects a broader national mindset: beauty in everyday life matters. From the way they serve a cup of coffee to how they fold a napkin, the French find joy in detail and design. Choosing pink over white is a simple but elegant act—a way to make even mundane moments feel just a bit more special.
So, the next time you spot a pink roll in a Parisian home, know that it’s not just décor—it’s a cultural statement. In France, beauty belongs everywhere, even in the bathroom.
When Ninaad Kambli founded Nivasa in 2019, he wasn’t starting fresh—he was building on a solid foundation. Backed by the technical strength of Rahee Constructions, a firm with over 30+ years of experience under the leadership of Ashish Kambli, Nivasa was created to offer something Goa’s real estate landscape was missing: a complete, experience-led approach to luxury living.
In a market that often focuses on land volume or transactional value, Ninaad saw an opportunity to shift the conversation. Nivasa was envisioned to elevate the meaning of home—spaces that feel intimate, rooted in design integrity, and tailored for those seeking more than just property ownership. According to him, true luxury isn’t about extravagance, but about how a space makes you feel. At Nivasa, that means creating homes that are calm, functional, and deeply connected to nature. From the breezy courtyards to the locally sourced materials and custom interiors, every detail is designed to support a lifestyle of ease and beauty.
More Than Villas: A Full-Service Living Experience
What makes Nivasa stand apart is its 360-degree service model. It’s not just about building homes—it’s about creating and sustaining value. From land acquisition and architectural planning to Vastu consultancy, interior design, and project execution, Nivasa takes care of every step. Even after a villa is complete, clients benefit from long-term support through property maintenance, Airbnb management, and hospitality services. This end-to-end offering ensures that every home continues to be a valuable asset, both emotionally and financially.
Sustainability is integral to the Nivasa philosophy. The brand is committed to eco-conscious building—incorporating features like passive cooling, rainwater harvesting, and energy-efficient layouts into each project. Ninaad is particularly drawn to biophilic design, where natural elements are brought indoors to foster a sense of calm and well-being. This design approach reinforces the Goan charm, giving each villa a warm, grounded identity.
One of the most memorable and challenging projects for Nivasa involved restoring a heritage villa in Goa. Maintaining its original character while integrating modern conveniences required careful planning and collaboration with local artisans. The project taught Ninaad the value of patience, cultural sensitivity, and craftsmanship—lessons that now guide many of Nivasa’s current projects.
The Vision Ahead: Thoughtful Living, Invested Living
Leadership at Nivasa is fluid and responsive. While villa development demands structure, precision, and adherence to timelines, the hospitality side requires empathy, flexibility, and attention to guest experience. Ninaad shifts his approach based on the domain, but always maintains a core focus on creativity, accountability, and alignment with the brand’s values. His team operates with the same ethos—sharing a collective vision of soulful living, nurtured through open communication, collaboration, and ongoing inspiration.
As for Goa’s real estate future, Ninaad anticipates a rise in wellness-focused architecture, sustainable luxury, and tech-enabled smart homes. He also sees increasing demand for dual-purpose homes—spaces that are both personal sanctuaries and viable investment properties. For today’s investors, his advice is simple: look for legal clarity, regulatory compliance, and long-term viability. Choosing Nivasa means choosing a holistic ecosystem that delivers not just a home, but lasting value.
For Ninaad, the idea of home is deeply personal. It’s a sanctuary—somewhere you feel at peace and inspired at the same time. This belief shapes every project Nivasa undertakes, creating homes that feel warm, grounded, and thoughtfully designed for the realities of modern living. When asked to describe Nivasa as a person, he says: “Elegant. Grounded. Visionary.” Whether it’s a villa in Goa or a dream home in Tuscany surrounded by vineyards, Ninaad Kambli continues to lead with intention—building not just houses, but homes with soul.
