Luxurious Living Unravels in this 5BHK Twin Apartment | Design Storie
This interior project is firstly exclusively designed and entirely customized for client, Mr. Milind Patel and his family. It aims to create a stylish and luxurious living space within a 7BHK house converted to 5BHK (3BHK + 3BHK combined). With a lavish area of 2700 sq. ft. it is located in the heart of Mumbai at Bhoomi Celestia, Malad.
This project focuses on creating a truly luxurious living room that exudes elegance, sophistication, and comfort. The design, thus, revolves around combination of opulent materials, exquisite furniture, refined color palettes, and lighting for a visually stunning space.
The grand foyer features a spacious and luxurious entrance area in our twin apartment. The flooring is made of high-quality marble, while the walls showcase paneled concealed doors with large mirrors. Also, impressive sculptures are placed in the arched niches adding a touch of grandeur.
Additionally, well-placed lighting fixtures and sconces create a warm and inviting atmosphere, making the space feel inviting and sophisticated. Flanked by geometric sliding doors to kitchen and den on either side, the foyer definitely makes a lasting impression.
A harmonious blend of neutral tones creates an inviting and timeless atmosphere in the kitchen. Soft pale taupe coloured upper cabinetry seamlessly complements the off-white texture of quartz countertops. And the wooden lower cabinets add a touch of texture.
All appliances discreetly integrate into the space, enhancing its modern appeal. The overall design exudes a sense of calm sophistication, making it a versatile and elegant culinary haven. A window is added above the service platform for ease of service to the dining area from the kitchen.
The den area is a family room or a cozy retreat creating a comfortable space where family members can unwind, and spend time together. Entire room has walls paneled in fluted design textured paint with a gold metallic border adding the touch of luxury.
The TV wall is the focal point of the den with an entirely customized TV unit console below it. This TV unit complements the overall modern design style. The cozy vibe enhances with furniture pieces like the organic design sofa, center table, and a rug that complements the seating.
Combining two living rooms of both apartments to create a larger living space offered exciting possibilities. It merges the two units while maintaining four zones – a lounging area, a dining space, a mandir, and a reading nook.
Elements like bronze mirror, stone veneer, black and brown veneer, and CNC router cut MDF panels are evidently combined. It adds depth and interest and keep all four wall designs in sync. Above all, the interiors emphasize elegance, opulence, and a welcoming atmosphere by including high ceilings, panel details on ceiling. The stepped design paneling framing the window view in the front and directing one’s attention to the grand open view.
Natural light coming into the living room is maximized with sliding glass shutter windows that open on either side. This certainly enhances the sense of openness and connects the interior with outdoor views and gives a grand look. A neutral color palette serves as the foundation, with shades gray, wood, taupe, and off-white creating a harmonious backdrop. This palette is also versatile and allows for bold accents in furniture and curtains to stand out.
The dining space has a bespoke chandelier sourced from ‘The White Teak Company’. Suspended above the dining table, it adds an element of glamor to every meal. Moreover, the wood and marble table, comfortably accommodates eight, making it an ideal setting for intimate dinners or grand celebrations.
A customized crockery storage unit is placed behind the dining area and below the kitchen serving window cut-out to ensure enough storage is provided to host guests during parties.
Additionally, a sink is placed on the platform behind the dining table and a circular mirror is fixed on the wall.
The TV lounge area is positioned within the living room, a designated zone for entertainment, boosting the luxurious living. The 3D design wall is customized using CNC cut technique and texture painted to match with the mandir backdrop. The TV on this panel is easily visible from various seating spots and from the dining area as well. Also, this arrangement allows family members and guests to engage in conversation, while still enjoying a great view of the screen. A sofa upholstered in orange fabrics with a set of cozy armchairs forms the core of the seating arrangement.
The full-height bookshelves and artifacts shelves are visually appealing space that offers a seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics. Hence, it is a captivating showcase of literary treasures and cherished artifacts with thoughtfully designed bookshelves and artifacts nook. Horizontal floating bookshelves span from one end to the other to give a modern touch and profile lighting is incorporates under every shelf. Additionally, a back glow to books and artifacts highlighting marble texture stone veneer sheets. Vertical partitions in metallic texture are fixed at varying angles in a visually pleasing manner to accommodate books. It also creates a dynamic visual rhythm for placement of artifacts within the nooks.
A reading spot adjacent to the bookshelves with a cushioned armchair, a rug, and a side table to hold a cup of coffee and indulge reading is a hearty creation.
Designing a mandir in the living room allowed us to infuse the space with a sense of sacredness and devotion. Moreover, the north-east corner placement ensures that the mandir remains Vastu compliant and stands out as a prominent feature while seamlessly blending with the overall décor. The backdrop is a customized CNC-router cut design made by joining two MDF sheets which gives that semi-traditional touch to the living room without disturbing the modern look of the living room.
The main Goddess idol is placed on the mandir’s main raised platform and other idols are staged on different glass shelves on the sides. Incorporation of proper lighting within the grand arched frame highlights the idols and creates an ethereal ambiance. By combining detailed elements and traditional aesthetics, we created a mandir that not only honors your spiritual practices but also adds a touch of timeless elegance to the living room. Inculcation of a comfortable seating bench ensures family members can sit and engage in prayer or contemplation. Placement of a small rug under the bench adds comfort and invites moments of reflection.
Nestled seamlessly against the living room, the attached balcony with mosaic design tile flooring is a harmonious extension of indoor sanctuary, inviting the outside world in. So, a carefully chosen array of outdoor cane furnishings and a swing graces the balcony. Two comfortable lounge chairs offer a serene spot to curl up with a book or simply soak in the sunlight. Also, a small table, strategically placed nearby, provides a convenient surface for the morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.
The master suite is a retreat within itself, occupying the space of two former bedrooms. Creating a transitional style master bedroom for the owner overall involved blending classic and contemporary design elements to achieve a harmonious and timeless look. An expansive king-sized bed takes center stage, dressed in sumptuous linens, a dark grey curved headboard flanked by two customized design side tables and surrounded by tasteful accent furnishings.
A neutral color palette with a mix of warm and cool tones creates this bedroom. Further, shades of greige and taupe, and ivory on walls serve as a base that allows us to introduce subtle pops of color through accessories and textiles and a stark texture of dark veneer on furniture.
The light gray marble toilet with wooden slatted false ceiling seamlessly combines the sleek elegance of gray marble with the warmth of natural wood, creating a harmonious and inviting space. Moreover, the careful balance between the cool marble surfaces and the organic wood textures transforms this bathroom. It turns into a haven of serenity and refinement, offering a truly elevated bathing and grooming experience.
This bedroom is a captivating haven where the boys’ dreams of exploring a world filled with majestic dinosaurs came to life. Every detail of this whimsical space basically creates an enchanting atmosphere that nurtures creativity and play. Upon entering, the room transports its young occupants to a lush dinosaur habitat.
The headboard features cleverly positioned dinosaur-themed decor, including a dinosaur model, its green habitat with backlit mirrors above. The overall effect is a balance between educational and entertaining elements that spark curiosity and wonder.
Incorporating a Jungle Oasis theme into kids’ toilet design offered a unique and immersive experience that would transport them to a vibrant rainforest paradise. Thus, it has attention to detail like the barrisol print ceiling light, and carefully curated decor. Hence, this jungle-inspired toilet design transformed an everyday space into a captivating escape for the senses.
The creation of the minimalist master bedroom design for parents happens by joining two former bedrooms. It combines the natural elegance of wood with modern aesthetics to create a warm and inviting space. The veneer bedroom interior design aims to strike a balance between the timeless beauty of wood and contemporary design elements, creating a tranquil retreat that feels both modern and nature-inspired. The walls feature light-colored veneer panels that add a touch of texture and warmth. The focal point is a sleek veneer bed frame with clean lines and a matt finish.
A matching dresser area with back painted black side mirrors, TV panel and floating nightstands offer both functionality and style. To enhance the cozy ambiance, soft textiles are used in plush area rugs, comfortable bedding, and furniture are incorporated. Ambient lighting from pendant lights cast a gentle glow, emphasizing the natural patterns in the veneer.
The toilet interior showcases a luxurious ambiance with its elegant beige marble and wooden theme. Large, polished beige marble slabs adorns the walls with niches for display of artifacts that exude a sense of opulence and refinement. The floor features the same marble, offering both visual interest and a smooth surface with joint lines aligned. The toilet itself is a modern fixture with clean lines, seamlessly integrated into the design. The soft, warm tones of the marble create a soothing atmosphere, while the sleek sanitary fittings add a contemporary touch.
A neutral and tropical theme guest bedroom has hanging pillows on a rod fixed as cushioning for the curved backlit headboard to create a unique look. This adds visual interest and a touch of whimsy to the headboard while providing extra storage.
The toilet attached to the bedroom features a blend of beige and copper elements. Soft beige tone tiles adorns the walls, while copper accents in highlighter bands add a touch of sophistication.
By judiciously repurposing space, harmonizing luxurious elements, and upholding a refined sense of style, this residence redefines urban living.
