In a world of mass-produced furniture and Pinterest-perfect homes, one man in Kerala has taken home decor to a whole new level—using nothing but scrap from cars and bikes. Turning spare parts into style statements, this riding enthusiast has transformed his house into a living, breathing tribute to all things automotive. What started as a humble dream is now grabbing eyeballs online, thanks to a viral video with about 100 million views shared by Instagram user Priyam Saraswat.
Priyam documented his visit to the unique home in Kerala, dubbing it the “House of a Riding Enthusiast.” The video begins with him stepping through the gate, immediately spotting a bright red Yamaha fuel tank reimagined as a letterbox. It sets the tone for what’s inside—a wonderland of upcycled parts from iconic Indian vehicles.
The homeowner, a self-taught mechanic and former JCB operator, walks viewers through his personal museum of memories and machines. A dismantled Ambassador car has been cleverly converted into an outdoor seating space, while old tyres now serve as quirky window frames. Just above the entrance, a headlight setup made using the handle of a classic Bajaj Chetak lights the way.
The living room features a repurposed Chetak scooter sofa—complete with a glowing headlight—and a centre table crafted from a bike engine. There’s even a wall clock built from a Maruti Swift’s pressure plate and a chandelier made from a cycle wheel’s rim. The home is more than a creative marvel—it’s a deeply personal tribute to a lifelong passion for automobiles.
But the ingenuity doesn’t stop there. In the open kitchen, a round dining table made of spanners, nuts, and bolts leaves Priyam in awe. There’s also a wash basin with a petrol pump nozzle as a faucet and a Mahindra steering wheel used to hang towels. A Swift car’s shock absorber has been turned into a handheld lamp. And the most jaw-dropping of all? A Volkswagen car part turned into a refrigerator
The homeowner, who once had no access to bikes or cars in his childhood, taught himself how to repair vehicles and now runs his own bike garage.
What do you think of the interiors of the house?
