An evocative triangluar center table in the living room is paired with a beautiful rug and minimalistic blue sofa that accentuates the soft, luxe feeling.

Master Bedroom : To create master bedroom the merging of teo bedrooms to create a large, expansive master suite with hidden walk-in wardrobe & rest room was done.

Master bedroom has been designed by  keeping wooden tones in mind & giving extra luxurious touch by adding vertical profile lights.

Parent’s Bedroom : In contrast to the master suite, this space is more laid-back, the room features wooden flooring & wallpaper making the bedroom a comfortable & restful environment for the parent who visit occasionally. The vastu-compliance of planning principles, driven by the belief of the client comes into play throughout the home. hence, the bed is kept against the window heading to south & various other changes were made.

Guest Bedroom: The guest room replicates minimalism with an essence of blue hue characterised by simplicity, clean lines and monochromatic palette with a color used as an accent. In all the room speaks calm and soothing.

Daughter’s Bedroom : There are various ways of treating walls. Striped walls enhance interiors in an instant! Used this cheat to create a subtle yet popping drama for a 10 year old daughter’s room. Keeping every other detail clean in neutral palette to let the stripes be in the spotlight.
