How do you design comfort?

Light, life and layers 

From the moment you step inside you’re met with sunlight pouring through tall windows stretching across open spaces that feel easy and elegant. To the left is a quiet corner turned into an open study with an enclosed mandir — a peaceful pause in the flow of the home. On the right, a marble dining table makes a bold statement while just behind it, a once-guest bathroom now moonlights as a sleek, functional bar.

Down the hallway, one side takes you through a memory lane filled with family photos, the other lined with designer mirrors that bounce light and add a little sparkle. The kitchen is long, lean and exactly as the family wanted — dark countertops, earthy cabinets and every drawer and surface designed to work hard without feeling heavy.

The bedrooms each tell their own story. The parents room may be compact, but it’s full of warmth with sliding wardrobes, soft wood tones and a layout that feels right. One of the master bedrooms designed for a young couple, is all about clean lines and calm energy — kota stone floors, textured walls and a custom wardrobe that tucks everything away neatly. Their bathroom, though small, is a favourite with smart storage, and soft lighting.

And then there’s the bachelor’s room that’s crisp, minimal and effortlessly cool. White-on-white with just the right amount of contrast, black side tables, kota stone floors and a vibe that’s fresh and grown-up.

Earthy elegance, elevated 

A breathtaking palette of earthy hues, natural textures and sleek modernity, it’s a space that speaks volumes without saying a word. The Blink Box Studio Bombay weaved magic into the home with their exquisite custom-designed lamps, each one a radiant masterpiece. But what makes this home truly extraordinary is its depth. Every curated piece of furniture and detail is imbued with meaning, creating a space that’s not just stylish but deeply personal.

“One of the most unforgettable pivots in the project was designing the bar behind the dining table. What started as a design dilemma — how to add a bar without disrupting the room’s rhythm — quickly turned into one of the home’s most beloved corner.”

A tight fit with a grand finish

Inside the 1,350 sq ft home the compact spaces required a delicate balance — three bedrooms that needed to feel expansive, functional and clutter-free, while accommodating the family’s practical necessities. “Every design choice, from the choice of materials to the layout, speaks to a desire for a home that feels both functional and deeply personal — a space where comfort meets modern elegance,” says Nishi.

Turning constraints into creativity 

Design isn’t just about solving problems, it’s about discovering those unexpected magical moments that make a space feel truly alive and the satisfaction in knowing that you’ve created something meaningful. At the heart of it all this project was about crafting an experience that felt personal, functional and full of life.
