Conceptualised and developed by Design21, this uber-luxury residential project spanning over a vast area of 1000-square-foot brings a sophisticated aesthetic to existence by infusing highlights of veneer and Indianness into a white and grey-based neoclassical style. The one-of-a-kind décor of the house combines classic and contemporary design elements for the overall abode to transcend the modern and traditional differences and establish subdued eclectic interiors that gracefully serve the client’s preferences with a flair of refinement. The elegant and majestic aura of this design style is captivating, while the details appear timeless and modest. Focusing on symmetry & balance, the artistic flair of the furniture and other decor elements enhance the appearance of the overall space.
The client has a background in design and construction, and he is also an art lover with several collections from around the world. Additionally, he is pretty explicit about his expectations, as a result of which everything was planned and organised, along with developing the concept from the very beginning.
This classic home design is a peaceful haven with subtle designer touches. Moving forward to the strategic planning of this mansion, the living area has a soft grey background complemented by fine veneer furniture, while vintage chandeliers assimilated add opulence. Moreover, the use of warm and cool colours creates a sense of equilibrium in the environment. Magenta, blue, and rust gold set against the neutral backdrop are the highlights of the overall space. The flatness of the ceiling, walls, and delicate curves on the furniture grant a serene feel to the decor. The other family lounge features plush furniture that matches the overall soothing white and grey tones of the schema, which are highlighted by opulent metallic antique decor artefacts. The material palette subsumed throughout the space is not high-end with everything shining; instead, it is tactile with abundance of texture. All the finishes incorporated constitute multiple layers of colour. Using the open-pore painting technique, these layers of colour coating allow for more textures on a flat surface. Besides that, the decor featured an Indian colour palette and artefacts complementing the overall Indian theme of the space.
The residence included three bedrooms that mirrored the personality of the inhabitants; the first bedroom is the hue of beige and olive, the second is dozed in shades of grey, and the third is in a beige colour palette. Rustic vibes, earthy tones, and cosy bedding with a hint of luxe add a sense of charm to each bedroom. Wooden textures and colours are mixed to create rooms that preserve authenticity while complementing the overall home décor. Furthermore, the use of various matt and satin textures flawlessly combine the room’s end-to-end character, adding grandeur.
The double-height foyer on the top floor is the most fascinating feature of this space, with an atrium that extends up into the terrace. The terrace includes a room with windows that stream light into the entrance foyer and a tall chandelier in an Indian classic style suspends over it. The lobby also consists of a finely crafted antique wooden and glass showcase used in conjunction with the rest of the furniture, creating a stylish and classy look. Complimenting the subdued grey walls, an eye-catching dramatic console with an intricate mirror, a traditional wooden vase filled with multicoloured roses, and lamps are also added. Together, these features work wonders for a pleasant visual retreat.
Lastly, the rustic-inspired bespoke home bar has a classic version, with the wine collection cabinetry system accomplished in shelvings. The appearance and texture of the island are pretty iconic, and this is complemented by rustic cane bar stools, giving it an antique and exquisite appearance.
To sum it up, all of the places are designed following the client’s preferences and requirements, incorporating various themes. The client had specific requests for the bar, fireplace, and even the number of seats at the dining table. He also had a particular type of bed insight for his bedroom. Thus the entire design is based on his preferences. The bathrooms are made up of a variety of materials. Nothing is an ordinary Italian stone; instead, Indian stone is integrated looking as the client was drawn to Indian stones with more textural features, giving the space a more deliberate and designed appearance.
The residence is characterised by the precision of crisp lines, clear shapes, calm neutral tones, and exceptionally smooth immaculate surfaces that can stand the test of time without becoming outdated. This resplendent residence is all about elegance and simplicity, with a touch of perfection thrown in. Nevertheless, it is a harmonic blend of classical and modern styles. Uniqueness, symmetry, and attention to delicate embellishment on the ceiling plane, mouldings, and walls are all features connected with this style. Furthermore, it is beautiful, mild, and pure.
