10 of the Most Luxurious Indian Homes on Houzz
From Lucknow to Mumbai, discover some of the most fetching homes in the country
Everyone’s home is their castle … or palace, but some are literally more palatial than others. The homes featured here may not be actual palaces but are stately enough for modern-day kings and queens. While size is a major criterion (though we have a penthouse that is a meagre 260 square metres), these homes have what it takes to make the cut. Have a browse and come away inspired (and a tad jealous).
Even the sprawling passageway on the first floor that connects the most-used areas of the house is no less spectacular, dressed as it is in black-and-white patterned marble floors, baroque banisters and a large but delicate chandelier.

The enormous open-plan modular kitchen next to the staircase is minimalistic and done to perfection.
An expansive island takes centre stage; covered in the same marble as that of the floors, it seamlessly blends into the room while the powder-blue cabinetry adds a hint of colour. Above the island hang three wire-frame pendant lights.
