With every wall considered as a blank canvas, every nook and corner of the abode bathes in innovative design and minimal colour palette. The use of Jaisalmer stone for the staircase evokes a sense of Indian culture and adds a touch of vibrancy.” ~Simran Khare

Graceful sheer curtains adorn the windows, allowing soft, diffused light to filter into the room. As the evening sun bathes the room in its golden glow, the space becomes a sanctuary of tranquility.
