The house’s entry is highlighted by a small foyer with a Italian stone and Brass Shree Krishna statue. Foyer establishes the design language, with a little woody and functional storage & seating. The space consisted of 3 bedrooms, living area, dining area, kitchen and pooja. Simple yet useful living furniture enhances the room’s functionality.

Parents bedroom is characterized by one defining element added to its austere furniture. The master is a combination of cane with teak wood veneer has a classic fluted wooden finish with wardrobes in light wood and cane inserts.

The kitchen & Dinning was designed with an open gazebo to allow natural light to enter the space. The dining room is the centre piece, connecting the public spaces of the bungalow. Most of the furniture is custom-made using artisan carpenters and is designed as per the specific requirements of the users. The kitchen color combination was that of sage green and a freckled white counter stone from kalinga stone (cmc). We made the entire kitchen on site.

The master bedroom color palette is an anatomy of a tree. Light wood textures, with a bit of brown through wooden flooring and a splash of pastel green. The Master bedroom’s majority of the furniture is handcrafted by carpenters and is customized to the users’ specific requirements. Wall panels finished with Natural wood, veneer, and Italian stone and PU paint to make interior stand out and add a stylish touch to the different areas. The furniture is modern and flexible. We have provided separate dedicated storages for the couple. The color palette flows through the master bathroom as well in a combination of green and nudes.

The Kids Room, Ceramic wall art adds a character to the room; it brings joy to a simple symmetric designed wall. Every little addition and accessory in kids room and corner of the house is chosen to add to the overall aesthetic, grace, and grandeur of the house, while remaining simple and subtle…and yet significant. Their son is a big soft toys fanatic and was very clear in his brief that he wanted a dedicated space in the room just to showcase his collection. We adhered to this by providing a complete open niche in an automotive paint with defused led lights to add.

We introduced statement plants in empty corners to liven up the home. They not only added colour and texture to the space but also created a connection with nature and the outdoors. Each bedroom is characterized by one defining element added to its austere furniture. Experimentation with different colours was done to keep its playful vibe alive. Full length curtain enhancing the beauty of the room.

“The overall look and feel to the space is very warm, comforting and it’s been designed to make everyone that visits feel right at HOME.”

Favorite design elements associated with this project and why?

Parent’s bedroom is favorite design elements associated with this project characterized by one defining element added to its austere furniture. The master is a combination of cane with teak wood veneer has a classic fluted wooden finish with wardrobes in light wood and cane inserts. We have added our touch by bringing the woody tones to this space. The tones of timber wood wardrobes are our hero element in the house; this allows creating a homely, peaceful and relaxing ambience.
