Botanical wall coverings, bespoke shoe cabinet with lotus inspired detailing, and a sculptural chandelier come together to create a layered yet understated space that offers guests a memorable first impression.

The foyer serves as an elegant introduction to the home, where an intricately carved arch frames a feature niche lined with botanical wallcoverings by Sabyasachi. Paired with a sculptural chandelier overhead, the space creates a memorable first impression that that celebrates craftsmanship, texture, and timeless design.
Anchored by an original Indian Pichwai artwork, the living room reflects the home’s understated yet sophisticated design language. Classical wall mouldings, a minimal palette, and carefully curated accents allow the artwork to take centre stage, infusing the space with colour and cultural richness. The result is an environment that feels both contemporary and deeply connected to India’s artistic heritage.
Balancing contemporary refinement with artisanal craftsmanship, the dining space in a white palette is anchored by a custom marble dining table and statement lights that lend the room an air of understated elegance. Classical wall mouldings create a backdrop, while a handcrafted bone-inlay console introduce texture, pattern, and a subtle nod to India’s rich decorative traditions.
Rich fabrics and bespoke wall coverings by Sabyasachi infuse the master bedroom with depth, warmth, and character. Layered with a sophisticated palette and intricate detailing, they soften the space while introducing a sense of timeless elegance. The result is a bedroom that feels both luxurious and deeply personal. A tranquil retreat where craftsmanship and comfort coexist.
The heritage room celebrates the clients’ collection of family heirlooms, bringing together antique furniture and art works passed down through generations. Curated as a tribute to their legacy, the space is layered with history and character. Adding to its charm, the bedside table is repurposed from an antique laundry basket. It lends the room an authentic sense of nostalgia.
The architects designed the second master bedroom as a richly layered composition of craftsmanship, heritage, and texture. A wall covering from Good Earth sets a warm, tactile backdrop. An antique door serves as a striking focal point, lending the space a sense of history and character. A leather-clad chest of drawers anchors the feature wall, introducing depth and understated luxury. Adding a deeply personal touch, they upholstered bespoke accent chairs in handpicked sarees from Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, celebrating the clients’ roots and weaving their cultural heritage into the narrative of the room.
