Nandini's ideas
The daughter’s room has deep-wine walls, wood finishes and a tan leather-upholstered bed. “The bed is placed in the centre of the room and backed by a semi-partition,” Bansal says. The partition has been painted the same shade of wine and merges into the wall. Behind this partition is a secluded study area, which is further marked out by the veneered ceiling that lines up with the wine walls, enclosing the area in a warm cocoon. A simple artwork in shades of sunny yellow and cool greys, along with a natural wood floor lamp, lends a touch of lightness.
Heading back to the triple-height family lounge, we see the sleek metal staircase clad with teakwood and finished with a clear glass railing. The floating staircase wraps itself around a cluster of chandeliers hung at different heights. The double-height glass windows filter in natural light into both levels. A glass-and-metal bridge on the landing connects the entertainment room (which sits above the living room) with the children’s individual bedrooms.
Completely different from the master suite is the grandparents’ bedroom, a quietly restful room with a vintage theme in neutral colours. The focal point here is the muted floral wallpaper on the wall that backs the bed. A tufted headboard and bed bench work well with the soft green armchairs in a floral pattern. Brass highlights and simple light fixtures add the finishing touch.
Engineered wood flooring demarcates the sleeping area from the rest of the room. The room boasts wainscot walls with grass-cloth coverings in the panels. A pale-green and gold upholstered bed and bench take centre stage, the tufted headboard, curlicue legs and intricate carvings adding to the luxurious vibe. “The client’s favourite nook features a custom-made porter chair in teakwood and silk suede,” Bansal says. Set beside large windows, the corner overlooks the central courtyard.
Pictured here is the master bedroom, which is completely different from the rest of the home with a pastel-hued Victorian theme, dotted with a few nature-inspired flourishes like the green-leaf central chandelier and wall sconces as well as the lilac flowered rug in the corner. “Each room has its own identity, derived from the personality of its occupants,” Bansal says.
Deep-blue and wood panels take centre stage in the son’s bedroom. A high, winged headboard backs a tan leather-upholstered bed. The false ceiling panels are an interesting and fun design element. “Light reflects off the various angled panels, creating an captivating play of light in the room,” Bansal says. Sectioning this room are the wardrobes, the back of which forms the ‘wall’ behind the bed. Read more:Mumbai Houzz: A City Penthouse Fit for RoyaltyTell us:What did you like the most about this house?
