Step into a world where design transcends the ordinary and ushers you into a realm where every corner tells a unique story. Our journey began with the distinct desires of our clients in Punawale, for their 4.5 BHK apartment where the wife craved a space filled with colours, while the husband sought a subtle, cosy atmosphere. Our challenge was to merge these two contrasting visions into one harmonious design.
Editor’s Note: The interiors of this 4.5 BHK apartment merge two characters in a single space: vibrance and subtility. While the burnt orange adds a pop of colour, it is also not too bright to ruin the tranquillity of the soft tones. The interiors welcome abundant sunlight and give equal weight to functionality and design. – Gopika Pramod
A tale of Subtle Elegance, Vibrant Energy, and Harmonious Design | Rachana Interiors
In this, we embark on a journey through a home that embraces the delicate balance between vibrant energy and subtle elegance. Each room in this residence is a testament to the art of harmonizing contrasting desires. From the inviting entrance with its concealed secrets to the living area bathed in natural light and adorned with burnt orange accents, and from the sleek and functional kitchen to the vibrant and creative study, we explore a home that evolves with every step you take. Join us as we uncover the intricate tapestry of design that has transformed this house into an oasis of tranquillity and style, where contrasting elements coexist in perfect harmony, reflecting the personalities of its inhabitants.
Entrance: The entrance showcases a grey safety door with a PU paint finish, concealing a hidden door that opens into a servant room. The use of grey concrete finish laminate and minor black accents enhance the overall aesthetic. A shoe rack and the main door in oak wood laminate complete the welcoming ambiance.
Living Area:
As you enter, you are greeted by the harmonious blend of oak wood laminate, dark wood furniture, a white PU finished dining area, and striking burnt orange accents.
The hidden bar unit adds an element of surprise, and the abundant natural light bathes the room in a welcoming glow.
The grey and black entryway undergoes a magical transformation as you step inside, setting the tone for the rest of the house.
Kitchen:
Sleek in grey and bold in black, the kitchen is an elegant space that speaks volumes about functional design and aesthetic appeal.
Guest Bedroom:
In the guest bedroom, we embraced sustainability by repurposing old furniture to suit the room’s size. Wood laminate was added to harmonize with the overall decor.
Teal blue laminate and mustard upholstery were introduced as a vibrant contrast, breathing new life into the space.
A wall painting, exquisite ceramic lighting fixtures, seamless wall curtains, and discreetly hidden air conditioning create an atmosphere of luxury and comfort.
Study/Office Room:
For the study room, we opted for a cosy yet functional design. A blue-coloured bookshelf adds a vibrant touch, complemented by a cosy bed.
A mirrored wall creates the illusion of a bigger room, while a creative leg support work desk offers both style and functionality.
Storage is discreetly hidden behind wall panelling, maintaining a clutter-free environment. The blue furniture and pink wallpaper infuse a colourful vibe into the space.
Master Bedroom:
Our favourite master bedroom is a true masterpiece in grey and blue elegance, accented by striking black details. The stunning blue wall panelling takes centre stage, while grey laminate sets the stage for timeless sophistication.
The tweed bed back invites you to relax in style, and the minimalist TV unit adds a touch of modernity. This is your oasis of tranquillity and style.
In every room of this home, we have embraced the challenge of blending vibrant colours with cosy subtlety. The result is a space that evolves as you explore, with each area having its own unique personality. It is a testament to the power of design to bring harmony to contrasting desires and create a home that truly reflects its inhabitants’ personalities.
