It’s is back painted glass. As a back splash it can be used as it’s easy to clean and maintain. Highly recommended to be toughened. The entire back needs to be cladded in waterproof plywood and then the glass is stuck on to it with special adhesive or silicon gel.

Blending traditional style interiors with modern apartment spaces is often a big challenge. But this is exactly what Bhuvana Suren, the Principal Architect of Venturebee interiors was asked to do in the 3 BHK apartment in Chennai. The client had a penchant for Tanjore homes from traditional southern India.

The use of brass accents throughout the space gives it a high-end look that feels both modern and traditional The impact is clear as soon as you enter the house. The gaze automatically lifts to the wooden exposed beams in the ceiling giving a stunning entry to an ethereal space. An exposed brick work as a feature wall brings the added touch of a Tanjore house whilst creating an harmony between the lounge, dining and kitchen areas.A brick wall is the perfect starting point for a comfortable, traditionally decorated living room and provides a distinct focal point to arrange furniture around. Whilst the 10' ceilings could be decorated with wooden beams, the floor space was a challenge. A traditional south indian wooden swing with brass chains provides the rustic touch and the extra seating. And ofcourse the touch is completed with the highlighted Tanjore painting aptly framed.
