“Antique Modern” – where classic meets modern design and old meets new, where patterns meet straight lines and modern design meets antique decor. Prints meeting solid colors, with an inexorable touch of green plants. – Was our principal ideology behind making this space a warm home in South Mumbai.
“The spacious and decorative features of this apartment have a certain charm to it. Complementing touch-ups and soothing textures is an attractive base for the beholder.” – Nishal Sevak(Co-Editor)

For warmth and interest on the walls, I like to use printed wallpapers depending on the style we are going with. To keep a design interesting, I use texture, contrast… and more texture! I prefer to create depth through layers of rich textures and distinct finishes.
In this space we have used bronze tones to provide contrast and pops pf colour within a neutral palette.
I introduce luxurious natural materials to make the palette more dynamic—for example, using accents such as camel colour leather bed back, a dusty pink wall for the daughter’s bedroom, light oak laminate cladded shutters with a hidden storage or even a smoky bronze mirror.
Building character of a space with a strong structure and dynamic accents is what we deeply believe in. And the end goal here was to create a space that makes you feel luxuriously at home.
