Before transformation
This 1.5 BHK was once a plain and cluttered space with beige walls and no character. The house had a balcony space as well, Despite having enough space in the apartment, it felt very small and lacked personalisation.
After transformation
The design studio turned the apartment into a warm and elegant living space that blends smart layouts and aesthetics with functionality, offering inspiration for modern urban living.
In the living room, a wooden swing sways with the rhythm of slow afternoons, anchored by a Jharokha—a mirror that acts as a portal into the past, framed by delicate, flowering details. The kitchen is a refreshing retreat, enveloped in a soft mint green and kissed by elegant gold accents, making the heart of the home feel both bright and timeless.
The bedroom
The master bedroom is a study in heritage and light; limewash walls provide a textured, earthy backdrop to a space filled with a warm Indian soul and subtle glints of gold. In the son’s room, versatility meets wonder. An openable sofa-cum-bed leaves space for play, while a cozy window nook invites quiet evenings over coffee. Here, a deep blue wardrobe stands against wallpaper that serves as a verdant window into a distant, misty forest.
The kitchen
The kitchen area is kept simple while ensuring functionality and aesthetics. The pastel colour tone and wooden elements blend harmoniously, making the space stand out. Walls in the entire house are kept in a combination of beige and white, but subtle designs and elements make them pop out.
