The living room showcases contemporary furniture in wooden tones, with soft furnishings in complementary pastel hues, to create a soothing ambience.
The kitchen features ample storage and a white quartz countertop, softened by a designer backsplash. A simple material palette is used in a balanced manner, with open shelves to add to the youthful vibe shared across the house
The master bedroom, all in sage green soft furnishings, uses chevron veneer grooves on the ceiling and wardrobe to add dynamism to the space.
The use of the C-shaped ceiling light and variation in its intensity become a central defining feature, facilitating a customizable character.
Warm white recessed lights provide the correct balance to the soft gray and blue color palette of mother’s bedroom. The use of rose gold accents lends an extra layer of sophistication and femininity to the space.
The third room serves as a multipurpose space, with a study and puja unit, in addition to being a guest bedroom. The white storage units, floating shelves, and light color palette make it a modern and bright zone.
The central idea of keeping the spaces light and fresh really comes through. Nikaya’s signature touch is visible through subtle references to traditional styles and spaces that flow into each other seamlessly.
