The designer staircase provided with automated lights adds the elegance wherein glass railing makes the space looks colossal. The vintage looking hanging wall clock maintains affinity with the theme along with serving its purpose.
Mandir- the soul of the house is separated with fluted glass door and the bell detailing giving it the divine energy.

A cozy sitting makes the house feel home. A 3D artwork romanticizing the coffee times with incorporation of all the warm Indian colours in furniture are complimented by the black and white flooring.
The chic and long chandelier hanging from the double height ceiling is centre of attraction for the height that has been provided enhancing the vertical space. Combination of green and musturd-white curtains owes approbative feel to the all white lobby upstairs.
The egyptian printed tile was something client wanted to employ somewhere in the house and balcony became the perfect display for it. Handmade thread painting is combined on either sides of tile to tie the look together.
The berry and corals are brought in the picture to owe the feminine soft touch to the room avoiding the obvious pink colour pallete.

The black-grey-white color palette gives perfect youthful and musculine touch to the roomspace. The Son of the family wanted to add few of his favourite locutions in the room which are creatively added in the shelf keeping the walls clean and plain.
