Our project, “Humble Abode”, is a creation where individual tastes intersect with cozy interiors & timeless beauty, reflecting the owner’s lifestyle and taste. The design blends art with functionality, giving justice to each corner. The main goal was to create a home that feels warm, spacious and personal. We followed a contemporary design approach. Clean lines, minimal clutter and a soothing colour palette. Natural materials like wood, marble, stone finishes and soft fabrics help bring a calm and cozy interior feel to the space.
The Design Embraces Cozy Interiors with Soothing Color Palette | Grayscale Designs
As you step inside, you’re welcomed by a striking partition crafted in a combination of brass and Corian. This element was designed to strike a balance between openness and privacy . The design brief called for a solution that would provide subtle separation without compromising on flow or natural light. The result is a semi closed partition that feels both ornamental and minimal – a functional sculpture that elevates the space without compromising on privacy.
The living room is designed in a soft, neutral palette – setting the tone for a space that feels inviting, calm and effortlessly open. While the layout feels serene, there’s an exciting surprise tucked within : the entertainment unit isn’t immediate visible. The custom-designed “ Hide and Seek TV“ is cleverly mechanized into the console unit placed just before the statement brass and corian partition – creating a sleek balance of technology and aesthtetics.
And how could we forget ? This space bathes in abundant natural sunlight, adding warmth and vibrance through the day.
As we move toward the swing and balcony, the veneer ceiling continues seamlessly, creating an inside-out look visually expandes the space.
Tucked at the heart of the home, the dining space features a restaurant-style corner seating with the mirror wall that adds some glam, while the veneered ceiling drop (thanks to a chunky beam and AC drama!) keeps it feeling warm, stylish, and just a little extra.
Soft green hues set a fresh, serene tone in this artistic space. Thoughtful layers of textures, fluted details, and subtle gold accents bring depth.
A pastel green upholstered bed and side table in wood sit against a hand-painted back panel created by a local artist. Wardrobes feature a blend of stucco and flutes, while clean brass lines add a refined finish throughout the room.
Splashed in the dreamiest Pacific blue, this room is giving major coastel vacay vibes. Sunlight hits just right in the evenings – total golden hour goals. Fluted panels and sleek PVD accents keep the walls looking cool but curated. Effortless, airy, and kinda everything.
The space exudes warmth and calm, brought alive by a stunning hand-done leaf mural – an expressive relief artwork by a local artisan. Earthy textures like cane and natural wood blend seamlessly with soft beige hues on the ceiling and walls, creating an airy and grounding atmosphere.
The walls feature smooth wall punning, lending a refined, tactile quality that enhances the room’s softness. This handcrafted finish adds both character and depth, making the space feel quietly refined and timeless.
Moroccan tiles add a touch of drama, while a handcrafted Siporex wall mural by a local artist brings in an artistic flair. The added greens complete the cozy garden vibe, making it the perfect spot for your best evening coffee view.
