At the entry itself, one would welcome the God Shreenathji mural which is reflecting the belief of the client and patterned Corian is enhancing the mural by giving a backdrop to it. A conventional shoe rack is a prime alternative, but a carved wooden shutter and the metal frame are taking different stands for vestibule space.
Neutral tones in the Living Area
The living room is characterized by a neutral color palette of the sofa, rug embellished with a center table highlighting the existing RCC wall and carving on that wall. Combining living and drawing rooms in one and placing the sofa away from the wall is a very conscious decision to provide luxury. A wooden cabinet with brass Patti detail, painting on it and tile cladding TV unit is completing the look of a room.
Minimal SS brushed Dinish plate dining table with wooden legs and white patterned cabinet and the textured wall is giving softness to the space where the yellow fabric of dining chair and painting on the wall is creating a drama into it.
Pooja area wall is carved with numerous cows’ compositions which show the client’s keen attachment with God Krishna and the L-shaped perforated partition of the Pooja room spreads its essence all around.
Kitchen and Dining Area
A simple colour palette with wooden cabinets and a small breakfast table is providing a small barrier between the kitchen and dining and is giving an elegant look to the kitchen.
Moving further the passage is designed in a sophisticated manner connecting to all the bedrooms.
The material of passage is used in such a way that it creates a sense of mystery.

While the second room is designed simply with grey stone cladding, minimal backrest and white carved MDF back. The use of Veneer in the room on the wall and door gives a warm feeling as it is designed for grandparents. While painting which is also acting as a study table beside a veneer cladded wall is giving Dinesse to each other.
The daughters’ room achieves a stylish and serene ambience with colors of their choice. MS framed study tables are giving a hanging look to it and the composition of a circular tag board is providing a connection to both the tables. Where portraits of daughters in a circular shape on the wall are supporting the language of the room. While wooden simple cabinets and a well-composed dressing area is giving dignity to the room.
The fourth room is converted into a multipurpose room. Mustard fabric sofa, the minimal center table is combined with black cabinet and blue tag board gracefully. The design of the ceiling with wooden logs in this room gives a vibrant feeling to the room.
