When flowers bloom by Kalyani Saha Chawla

At Kalyani Saha Chawla’s South Delhi residence, the fireplace in the den is a thing of beauty. A traditional-styled fireplace turns into a visually-refined element indoors elevated with a fresh flower arrangement. The floral motifs on the fireplace itself come alive as the flowers bloom in and around it.

Bold and beautiful by Vaishali Kamdar Associates

The pièce de résistance in the formal dining room of a vibrant New Delhi residence is this river-washed black riviera stone fireplace. Envisioned by Vaishali Kamdar of her eponymous Vaishali Kamdar Associates, the fireplace design is bold, dramatic and wondrously audacious. It commands attention and rightly so, sits as a sculptural piece in the midst of an art-filled home.

A beige haven by Aparna Kaushik Design Group

Extending a luxurious lounging experience, this fireplace design by Aparna Kaushik of her namesake Aparna Kaushik Design Group is set against the backdrop of a neutral and golden palette. The perfect setting for a laid-back winter evening — a fairy tale-inspired vintage seating, with drums on one end and a classic marble fireplace with a flickering flame of the candles on the other, the space has it all.

Monochromatic hues by Aashi Gupta Designs

Adore intricate ornamentation but don’t want to go maximal? This Victorian-inspired fireplace designed by Aashi Gupta of her eponymous Aashi Gupta Designs delivers just that. A rather unconventional fusion of warm-toned, plush and contemporary elements with a subtly striking fireplace in this space creates an elegant yet cosy ambience. The composition of tall pillar candles lit up underneath the intricately carved marble mantle becomes the focal point of the space.
