When imagining his own home, interior designer Sanjyt Syngh took a different approach from the norm. “I didn’t have the end result in mind when I started, but I knew I wanted my home to focus on the art and sculptures I’ve been collecting from my travels,” he explains. Each room features a base colour uplifted by layers of detailing and vibrant colours that connect different corners. “The final creation has surpassed my expectations. There’s an element of surprise in every line of sight,” says Syngh.
“The main entrance leading into the corridor was a feature in the floor plan that really appealed to me. It connects the rooms and the spaces perfectly. There is art everywhere,” he says. Quite a few pieces have been conceptualised and made in-house – for instance, the featured focal piece of the entrance, titled ‘Pigeon Post’.
To the right of the entrance are the living room, dining room and family room. Seen in the far right of this image, Syngh has paired a limited edition Massimo Giacon ceramic sculpture titled ‘Love Carrot’ with wall plates from the ‘Tema e Variazioni’ collection by Fornasetti. The colour palette of pink, gold, black and white in this corner draws from that of the noughts and crosses wall decor in the corridor.
“Colour is extremely important to me. My plan was to challenge myself and use a delicious brew of lustrous colours in abundance,” Syngh says. The rich hues in this room have been elevated with the use of mirror-finish accents, metallic details and vibrant tones. Abundant natural light and strategically placed ambient lighting ensure that the dark colour palette imparts a luxurious feel to the space without being overpowering. A sleek brown chaise longue works to subtly partition the seating area from the rest of the room.
The designer has cleverly used colour to visually connect different elements and corners. The red and blue cushions on the two sofas connect with the rhino installation created by the designer. Metallic details, such as tall floor lamps, the Eichholtz chandelier, the picture frames and the Alex Davis circular coffee tables, add a sense of drama to the chestnut-brown and charcoal-grey colour palette.
While a cohesive theme runs through the room, the designer has fashioned different nooks, each with a life of its own. Bringing this corner of the living room to life is a cabinet in deep blue-green, topped by a mirror-finish wall installation, both created by the designer’s studio. “I love layers. I’ve extensively used textures, patterns, shape and form, like a mix of textured wallpapers, patterned wallpapers and wood panelling,” Syngh says. The metallic side tables, tall candle stands and a set of Jaime Hayon masks add visual interest.
The dining room, which features the same rich base colour with splashes of turquoise, centres around an avian theme. Taking centre stage is the award-winning photograph by Sunil Gopalan of an Atlantic puffin gorging on fish, which Syngh superimposed on a turquoise background to tie it in to the colour palette and theme. Adding to the bird theme, the designer choose the Perch Bird Chandelier from Moooi to illuminate the dining table from BoConcept.
“The family room is one of the most used rooms in the house,” says Syngh. “It is the perfect space to relax or entertain.”
The deep-green velvet armchairs and a bright-yellow one by IDUS uplift the pale-grey walls. The Catellani & Smith wall light of fibreglass lined with silver-leaf, flanked by the portraits by Andrey Yakovlev and Lili Smith, adds a touch of drama to this cosy space.

Coming back to the main entrance, to the left are the bedrooms.
“The master bedroom is an amalgamation of bold and dark colours,” says Syngh. To balance the deep-black wall and the dark ‘Leopard Walk’ wallpaper by Cole & Son, Syngh has flooded the room with light colours shining from the crisp white linen, a simple false ceiling in white and eclectic artwork on the walls.
Taking centre stage in the second bedroom is the 3D wall-covering in light grey by ARTE. Creamy white, shades of blue and a pop of mustard elevate the base grey, while a printed headboard and mirror-finish side tables add a touch of luxury. The ‘Girl With a Pearl Earring’ cushion immediately catches the eye and highlights the richness and colours of the fabrics on the bed. “Even though the spaces are well connected, they don’t interfere with each other. I love that every corner has a unique identity,” Syngh concludes.
