    Master Bedroom – Mio

    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

    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 – Daastan

    Kitchen of Daastan - powder blue cabinets, black handles

    I’ve been away from here for quite a while now and it is so good to be back. As I had hinted at last time, today is the last stop of this home tour. And can there be a better

    Boy’s Room – Daastan

    Boy's Room of Daastan - world map wallpaper mural

    Our next stop on this home tour is the boy’s room of Daastan. This room belongs to a sweet, eight-year-old boy. Our little boy is fuss-free and had only one request for his room – a world map on the

    Entrance and Foyer – Daastan

    Entrance and Foyer - Daastan

    ‘Daastan’ means a story or a tale. Why we’re calling this home a story is a story in itself.. which we’ll come to later on. But since we’re comparing homes to stories, if ‘Taru‘ was a tender romance, you could

    Next up on the tour of Taru, we have the kids rooms. Though the decor is inspired by nature, completely in keeping with the rest of the home, these rooms are younger, livelier, and more fun than the rest of

    Living and Dining – Bhargavi

    Bhargavi is a name for Goddess Durga or Laxmi. I can’t think of a more auspicious beginning to sharing a project, than giving it a name inspired by a Goddess. Now that wasn’t entirely my doing… but we’ll get to

    A study table doesn’t have to come with a wall ful A study table doesn’t have to come with a wall full of cabinetry. Sometimes four legs, a good chair and a little breathing room are all you need to get down to business.

These are a few of our favourite loose study set-ups. Which one is yours?

    A balcony that takes the phrase “bring the outdoor A balcony that takes the phrase “bring the outdoors in” and decides to reverse it. 🌿

This little urban corner was designed to feel more like a garden room than a balcony.

- A full vertical plant wall turns a blank end wall into a living backdrop
- A floor and a ceiling that look like warm wood bring in plenty of warmth
- Cane furniture keeps the seating light, relaxed and wonderfully balcony-friendly
- The string lights add a cosy glow once the sun goes down
- And with all that greenery around, the city view suddenly feels a little less… city.

Basically, a tiny holiday destination — without the airport queue.

Swipe 👈🏻 for a closer look.

- A generous live edge dining table keeps the setting warm and grounded
- Floral upholstered chairs bring pattern without making the space feel busy
- A long upholstered bench adds a more relaxed note — and a few extra seats never hurt
- The cluster of glass-and-brass pendants is the real showstopper, adding a lovely bit of sparkle overhead
- And the carved wall art brings in just the right amount of old-world Indian character

From the living room, it reads as part of the larger space. Up close, it has plenty of its own personality.

From raw shell to a foyer with a little more drama.

- The bare shell became a layered foyer with a strong sense of arrival
- A warm mustard colour wainscoting brings energy into the space
- Traditional detailing — from the carved timber door to the patterned floor border — adds a distinctly Indian character
- And the kitchen entrance is now part of the composition, rather than simply another doorway

This kitchen got a full rethink — in both form and function.

- We changed the ‘L’ shaped counter to a parallel counter on the opposite wall giving much more usable space. 
- The dark cabinetry made the space feel heavier than it needed to, so we introduced lighter finishes to bounce around the natural light
- A terrazzo-style counter brings texture without overwhelming the room
- The backsplash keeps things understated, while the subtle 3D pattern adds interest

Same footprint. A very different experience.

From a makeshift study corner to a room made for her. ✨

* The desk now has a proper built-in home, with storage above and a pegboard for the things she actually needs
* The wardrobe gets a complete makeover, with a playful botanical finish on the shutters
* Warm wood keeps the room feeling cosy, while the soft neutrals stop it from becoming too sweet
* A comfortable upholstered chair makes the study nook feel like part of the room, rather than an afterthought
* And a few framed music posters bring in the personality

Same room. Very different brief.
