Celebrating a dark colour scheme that shines through nuanced lighting and careful juxtaposition of contrasts and accents, this 15,718 square feet bungalow in Jaipur is full of surprising sights. Interior themes that incorporate breezy light and bright colours sure offer up a refreshing and airy vibe, but the designers, in consultations with the clients, felt that this home needed a little bit more bite. Scroll down this post of SURFACES REPORTER (SR) to know how Nikhil Aggarwal led Design Atelier fashioned this elegant home with amazingly dark and bold colours:

And as we set out to discover the beauty and magic of dark colours, we encountered endless inspiration. The many creative challenges and constrictions that came along the way only proved to be more exhilarating. Veering away from the conventional always has its rewards.
Shut out the summer sun and follow us into the magnetic darkness.
Eight Bedrooms and 18 Bathrooms
The three-storey bungalow consists of eight bedrooms and 18 bathrooms.
The basement is set aside for entertainment and recreation, along with two dormitories and five toilets. There is an office space, a powder toilet, a gym, two pantries, two stores, a massage room, a steam room, a poker room, hall, spa, home theatre, media room, multipurpose hall, buffet counter, bar counter.
Decorative ceilings, exorbitant chandeliers and a play of hidden lights unleash the enigma and intense energy of dark shades in the basement.
The ground floor comprises two living and two dining areas, three bedrooms with attached bathrooms, a powder toilet, drawing room, pooja room, two kitchens, four stores and the perfectly landscaped lawn.
Curiously Dark & Moody Interiors
Staying true to the dark colour theme, the living and dining rooms are bathed in a combination of moody shades that highlight the high-end contemporary furnishings and some special examples of statement lighting.
Beautifully embellished walls, sophisticated furniture, rich textiles and large, eye-catching sculptures add to the magnetic allure of the decor.
Time stands still as the regal environment transports you to another era, and another world.
When the drapes are drawn, each piece of lighting illuminates only its specifically designated area, letting shadow fall in the space between. This home sure looks like a secret lair.
The tabletop is dressed well. Light from the large cluster chandelier spans the entire length of the dining room table, evoking grandeur and style.
