    Master Bedroom – Sukoon

    Master Bedroom of Sukoon - Contemporary Indian home, tree mural wallpaper, upholstered headboard, gold wall sconce

    Welcome to the master bedroom of Sukoon — where every morning begins under a canopy of cascading florals and chirping birds (on the wallpaper, of course).

    Living and Dining – Mio

    Living and Dining of Mio - round dining table, dining banquette, large glass dining pendant, blush and white, blush rose wall, brass birds, brass mirror frame, shoe unit, white and wood crockery unit

    There’s something magical about naming a home. It gives it character, a soul, a story of its own. This home, bathed in delicate shades of blush and warmth, is called Mio—inspired by the Japanese word for cherry blossom. Much like

    Bathrooms – Kai

    Bathroom of Kai - blue and white tiles, pattern tiles, blue subway, indigo and white bathroom, white bathroom counter

    Bathrooms often get relegated to the background. But in the bathrooms of Kai, we saw an opportunity to add identity and delight.

    Master Bedroom – Kai

    Master Bedroom of Kai - blue, indigo, warli painting, upholstered headboard, patterned headboard, study table, silver grey textured wall

    Every master bedroom we design begins with a quiet conversation between architecture and lifestyle. At Kai, the client envisioned a calming retreat—one that could hold personal rhythm, elegant functionality, and a subtle, almost tactile warmth, so that’s how we designed

    Kitchen – Kai

    Kitchen of Kai - blue cabinets, white quartz counter, blue handmade moroccan tiles, rolling shutter

    There’s something quietly powerful about a well-planned kitchen. It doesn’t call attention to itself, yet everything works beautifully.  For Kai, the kitchen needed to reflect exactly that understated sophistication, with an effortless flow that made daily routines lighter and more

    Living and Dining – Kai

    There’s a particular kind of alchemy that happens when form and function blend just right. In the living and dining of Kai, that magic unfolds in quiet, deliberate layers.

    Entrance and Foyer – Kai

    ‘Kai’ means the sea. And like the ocean, this home unfolds with gentle waves of blue, soft neutrals, and reflections that carry light and calm throughout its rooms. I’m really excited about walking you through our latest project, beginning at

    Bathrooms of Shway

    In a home where every space feels thoughtfully tailored and quietly elegant, the bathrooms of ‘Shway’ hold their own with grace and precision.

    Boy’s Room of Shway

    Boy's room of Shway - upholstered headboard, black and gold wall sconce, bedside table, white wardrobe

    Finally, we get to the last bedroom of this home, the boy’s room of ‘Shway’. This room belongs to a young man in college, so ‘boy’ is probably not the right way to describe it. But along with all the

    A bedroom where softness comes from the details. A bedroom where softness comes from the details.

• A textured upholstered headboard adds warmth without making the room feel heavy
• Sage green bedding keeps the palette calm
• Dusty rose brings in just enough colour
• The floral wardrobe panels add another layer of pattern, while the wood frame keeps them grounded
• Small botanical artworks above the bed echo the floral language without competing with it

We kept the larger surfaces quiet and let the patterns, textures and warm wood tones do the talking.

The result is layered, relaxed and a little old-world — without feeling overly traditional.

    The living and dining of Vahaal are where the home The living and dining of Vahaal are where the home truly comes to life. Every material, colour and handcrafted detail creates a home that quietly celebrates the family’s roots while feeling perfectly at home in present-day Mumbai.

Wooden ceiling beams bring warmth overhead, a handcrafted swing bridges the living and dining spaces, and a mix of contemporary and traditional furniture gives the room its character.

    Sideboards: because apparently every dining room n Sideboards: because apparently every dining room needs one piece of furniture whose main job is to quietly hide all the things we don’t want on display. 

And yet, they can do so much more:

• Extra storage, without making the room feel bulky
• A surface for art, lamps, books — and the occasional bowl of something decorative
• A chance to bring in a different material, colour or texture
• The perfect spot to make a little styling statement

Some are subtle. Some are sculptural. Some are doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

These are our favourites. Which one is yours?

    When I asked our client what she’d like to see on When I asked our client what she’d like to see on the foyer ceiling, her answer was simple: a monastery vibe.

We loved the idea, but there was one little challenge. This ceiling had to feel peaceful and contemplative, while still belonging to the colourful, layered world of Vahaal.

So we took that feeling and interpreted it in our own way. Rich earthy tones, intricate geometric patterns and a warm brass chandelier come together to create a ceiling that feels almost meditative, but still carries the character of the home.

Sometimes the most interesting design ideas start with just three words: “I want this.” 🤍

    A room that has to do a little bit of everything — A room that has to do a little bit of everything — work, read, watch, lounge… and apparently supervise the cat.

The brief here was to bring study and entertainment together without making the room feel like an office.

• A full-height walnut unit combines the TV, bookshelves, storage and a compact work desk
• The deep teal backdrop gives the joinery some depth and makes the warm wood stand out
• Open shelves keep the unit from feeling too heavy and give all those books a starring role
• A vintage-style upholstered chair adds a softer, more collected note
• Layered curtains filter the daylight and make the room feel cosy when it’s time to switch from work mode to movie mode

And the best part? Everything has its place, but the room still feels like a living space rather than a piece of cabinetry.

    Every home has a story. Some begin with a floor pl Every home has a story. Some begin with a floor plan. Others begin with a feeling. Vahaal is one of those homes.

It was gifted to our client by her late father. The interiors, in turn, were lovingly commissioned by her brother. Before we even picked a colour palette or sketched the first layout, this home was already wrapped in love. Designing it was simply our way of carrying that story forward.

Some places feel like home the very first time you step inside...
Vahaal is exactly that.
Some people feel like home even though you’ve only just met them...
@riddhi_biren_savla and @rishitsavla are exactly that.

This home is warm, personal and full of little stories. And perhaps that’s what makes it feel like home.

I can’t wait to take you through it...
Welcome to Vahaal. 🤍

    There are two kinds of people: those who take thei There are two kinds of people:
those who take their shoes off at the door… and those who somehow manage to leave them everywhere else. 😂

So, here’s to shoe storage that keeps the foyer looking considerably more civilised.

A few of our favourite ways to tuck the footwear away — from sleek and minimal to storage that makes a feature of itself.

These are our favourites. Which one is yours?

    A girls’ room that gets its warmth from mixing mat A girls’ room that gets its warmth from mixing materials, not matching everything.

• White wardrobes keep the room light and airy
• Warm wood on the bed and bedside table adds depth
• Soft peaches bring a gentle, playful layer
• Greens from the tropical mural add freshness and contrast
• Woven textures and fabric details keep all those colours feeling cosy rather than busy

The mix of wood + fabric + painted finishes + pattern is what gives this room its warmth. Nothing feels too polished, and nothing feels too precious — which is exactly what a girl’s room should be.
