The stunning transformation of the home showcases South Indian charm with modern allure and artistic decor, evoking nostalgia. Here's a virtual tour.

Home renovation videos on the internet go viral because the content in them is often real, relatable, and filled with personality. A Mumbai home is taking it up a notch by transforming an urban flat into a version inspired by the beauty of a classic South Indian home.

On November 12, 2025, Anam Taufik, principal designer at Anam Taufik Studio, shared a video on Instagram documenting how they transformed two twin apartments in Thane, Mumbai, into one 1,300sqft 3BHK home.

According to Anam Taufik, the house was inspired by the owner's childhood home in the South and, therefore, features details characteristic of classic South Indian homes, including Athangudi tiles, Kolam designs, and more.

The stunning home, which Anam Taufik Studio named Anantham, meaning 'infinite bliss' in Malayalam, features a living room, a mandir area, a study, a modern yet traditional kitchen, a sit-out area, a kids' room, a media room, a gorgeous balcony, and a vintage swing.

The details

Some of the details incorporated by the studio to make the home into a South Indian haven include Kota stone laid all around the house, along with hand-painted Athangudi tiles forming the borders.

Additionally, dark wood is used extensively throughout the house, which adds character alongside a traditional wooden swing in the living room, wooden pillars in the sitting area, an L-shaped seating area finished in a warm Jaisalmer stone, and the Kolam inlay.

Another standout detail of the home, which sets it apart, is the kitchen design, especially the breakfast counter window, designed with old-world charm, featuring colourful stained glass and intricate wooden details.

Lastly, artwork, including a classical Radha-Krishna painting in the living room, a traditional madir area, bronze light fixtures, and hand-painted wall designs, captures the nostalgia and allure of South India.

“Anantham is more than just a home; it is a living, breathing space infused with stories, emotions, and a deep sense of belonging - a place where time slows down, and every corner radiates warmth and bliss,” Anam Taufik told HT Lifestyle.
