Upon entering the foyer, a feature wall greets one with a central mirror that imparts a sense of an enlarged space within the narrow vestibule. Adorned with intricately patterned tiles, the wall is framed by a top cornice and brass edging. Additionally, this space includes a niche of ribbed wood wall panel and a shoe unit. Stepping into the shrine, the traditional white marble evokes a sacred ambiance.

From the tranquil aura of the puja, one is ushered into a spacious double-height living, where the waffle slab stands complete. This setting yearns for a touch of drama through an interplay of varying heights of pendant lamps with a raw silk sheen. Simultaneously, it makes an understated statement, courtesy of the wallpaper composition—an asymmetrical grid in a trio of warm and cold tones of beige with copper mint, accented by brass profiles. Meanwhile, on the opposite side, open fabric frames display family mementos, preserving tangible heritage with a personal touch. This nostalgic charm finds its counterpart in the furniture—an elegant revival through re-upholstering and re-polishing, with an arrangement that offers intriguing vantage points.

As we transition from the expansive volume, attention is drawn to the ochre highlight wallpaper and ribbed wood panelling flanking the dining. This vibrant touch offsets the neutral tones of the living and is further elevated by an embellishment: an art silk pendant light with a brass frame and matte gold suspension.

An extension of vibrancy from the dining area prevails in the powder room, with tropical wallpaper dressing the upper half of the marble-clad wall. The vanity, crafted from wooden ribs with brass accents and an empty center, creates an open feel in this compact space.

The lower-level parents’ bedroom exudes a character of its own, with a layered ceiling in neutral wallpaper and a grid of wooden beading strategically housing light fixtures at its intersections. Adding depth to this space, the rich teakwood paneling with sparingly placed Indian motif engravings serves as a subtle yet significant detail. Furthermore, to enhance the thematic appeal, mild blue Indian prints grace the headboard and cushions.

Ascending to the upper level, the family room boasts a bespoke ensemble in a majestic combination of grey tile and wooden beading, spanning from the TV unit and crockery unit to the bar counter. It counterbalances the dominance of wood that extends across the floor, while an opal blue sofa brings in a laid-back feel. Along the mezzanine walkway, an existing library unit finds its place, with a cherished ancestral antique at its end.

The upper-level master bedroom features a wooden beading back panel with meticulous joinery detail. A delightful combination of mint blue wallpaper and a coral headboard is complemented with sofa upholstery in a matching tone with paisley prints.

The final flourish unfolds; the outdoor oasis beckons one to savor the beauty of nature, all while indulging in the comfort of metal furniture.

Within the home’s interiors, this cozy haven not only invites conversations but also engages in a visual dialogue with the surrounding spaces, transcending its mere boundaries.
