Magnificent Duplex in Mumbai Portrays a Fable of Artistic Interior Design | The Orange Lane

Shabnam Gupta, the maestro of maximal and artistic interior design aesthetics moulded each element into a character in the narrative where bold, delineated geometric shapes, strong hues and innovative textures stand as the protagonists in this coruscating home. A magnificent duplex in Mumbai portrays an artistic fable, where tradition and modernity hold hands amidst comfort and lavish luxury. While the usual markers of opulence -plush fabrics, sparkling chandeliers, intricately carved wooden doors, and exquisitely printed wallpapers find their distinct places in the décor, what gives the artistic interior design of the home its distinctive personality is the liberal use of fine craftsmanship, a luxury in its own right.

Editor’s Note: “Celebrating the finer aspects of luxury, this Mumbai residence is a stunning design masterpiece, with each space echoing a consistent language of opulence. Beyond its plush furnishings and captivating chandeliers, the exquisite craftsmanship elevates the allure of this home. With vibrant colours and traditional design elements, it beautifully reflects the personalities of its inhabitants.” ~Simran Khare

Moreover, beyond the door, a wave of eclecticism fills the space. A dramatic teal interior welcomes visitors, accented by a daring red art piece and unique curios. Stunning lighting further enhances the inviting atmosphere.

The dining room breaks the monotony of the black and white theme with framed fuchsia pink Suzani textiles on the dining room wall. It is the stunning backdrop for the vintage-styled dining table.

The customized velvet lights are reflected in the cushions that accent the space. A black and white contemporary mandir beams through with a sanctimonious vibe in black and white tones.

The bedrooms reflect modern sentiments delving deep into our heritage aesthetics. With traditional motifs adorning the walls, headboards, and furnishings, vintage louvred wardrobes, trunk-like side tables, and colourful rugs lend a charming sensibility to the spaces.

The master bedroom exudes the natural charm of rattan details and Warli art. It is also creatively balanced by a delightfully opulent dressing area.

Art Deco

Black and white panelled furniture complement jewel-toned chairs and loungers, with ornate decorative lighting from Peacock Life overhead. A glamorous bathroom with Art Deco flourishes completes this space.

A bed canopy drapes the child’s bed in the private space next to a cosy teddy bear chair. The ensuite bathroom in pink and blue with aquatic flavours has fish swimming around on the walls. Thus, bringing nature in for the youngster.

The real luxury lies in the abundance of open spaces in this home. The upper-zone terrace transforms into a glass conservatory that features a bar. It also has an outdoor seating area and a quaint vintage water feature, infusing the space with charm and tranquillity. Vibrant art pieces from Baro adorn the outdoor walls. A creative and brainstorming cove the upper space with its macho den and study is an oasis where imagination unfurls in every corner. Sunlight dances through large windows, enhancing the vibrant atmosphere, perfect for artistic pursuits while the walls come alive with artwork.
