Welcome to this modern-traditional home that seamlessly blends the timeless charm of the past with the functionality of the present. This home was designed to accommodate a family of four, including two senior citizens. It is a thoughtful combination of the classic and contemporary design elements that define every room.
Editor’s Note: This cosy Modern-Traditional home by Tesor Design radiates a cosy splendour! The conscious marriage of the wooden Jhula and the contemporary lounge chair visually defines Indian interior design. The subtle traces of gold and bronze, paired with tasteful material choices and lush indoor plants, bring together a wholesome and complete home. The bedrooms have unique colour themes, yet one can find an essence of commonality. – Gopika Pramod

A standout feature of this home lies in its foyer—an elegant blend of open and closed shelving. Designed to cater to the client’s needs, this shelf provides a perfect spot to display the assortments they’ve collected over time. From family heirlooms to travel mementoes, every item finds its place in this thoughtfully designed space, capturing the essence of cherished memories.
The living room serves as the heart of this home, enveloped in a serene and calming palette of neutrals. These versatile tones create a canvas, allowing the homeowners to express their individual style through the choice of furnishings and decorations. From plush sofas adorned with throw pillows to carefully curated art pieces adorning the walls, each element in this space exudes sophistication while providing a welcoming atmosphere for gatherings and relaxation.
The bedrooms feel like entering a gallery of vibrant personalities. Each room boasts its unique identity through a burst of colours, transforming them into personal sanctuaries. One bedroom exudes tranquillity with calming hues of blues, while the other evokes a sense of peace and serenity with greens. Another bedroom exudes opulence with luxurious shades of purple, adding an air of regality to the space. These bedrooms aren’t just places to rest; they’re expressions of individuality and comfort tailored to the preferences of the occupants.
Careful consideration is evident in every nook and cranny of this residence, striking a harmonious balance between aesthetics and practicality. It’s a place where beauty intertwines seamlessly with functionality – a balance that caters to the needs of both the eye and daily life. Traditional elements, paying homage to a rich heritage, coexist effortlessly with innovative designs that cater to the demands of contemporary living.
From the intricately carved wooden furniture to the sleek, modern appliances seamlessly integrated into the kitchen, every detail tells a story of thoughtful curation. It’s a space where the past meets the present, where tradition finds its place in the innovation of today – a testament to the artistry of design and the comfort of home.
In this home, the echoes of the past mingle harmoniously with the rhythm of the present, creating an atmosphere that transcends time. It’s not just a house; it’s a sanctuary – a place where cherished memories are created, where family bonds are strengthened, and where the beauty of tradition dances hand in hand with the practicality of modern living.
