Dapoli Houzz: Modish Interiors Sit Snug in This Earthy Home

From the ground floor, one enters a double-height living room. Custom sofas from Topical Furniture House give the interiors a clean-lined, modern finish. The doors and windows are made of teak while the flooring is blue satin-finish natural tandur stone.

What to Do With Double-Height Living Rooms

The open-plan living room leads to the dining area, where expansive windows bring the outdoors inside. The customised teak-wood dining table, chairs and bench lend a warm note of rusticity, and the uneven natural edge of the tabletop deepens that organic feel. A copper water pot lends an ethnic touch to the contemporary setting.

From the kitchen, one can access the courtyard, which houses a cosy alfresco dining area. It features a concrete bench along the wall for seating and a sleek table.

Latticework on the walls accentuates the openness of the space, while vibrant cushions inject a burst of colour.

The pitched roof not only adds to the sense of expanse but helps keep the home cool during the warm summer months. Pendant lights provide a harmonious balance to the architectural lines of the wooden beams and rafters.

On the first floor of the home are the media room, study room, master bedroom and terrace, connected by a passageway with flooring of locally sourced teak wood.

In the master bedroom, the window grilles and window pelmets bring in a yesteryear charm.

A wall-to-wall wardrobe with cornflower-blue shutters provides colourful respite to the otherwise neutral palette.

River-washed Kadappa stone flooring keeps the modern interiors rooted to the earth. The painted dark ceiling mirrors the flooring and adds depth to the colour scheme.

“In the guest bedroom, a four-poster bed with quilted headboard, an armchair upholstered in deep peony-blue, the wooden floor and the raftered ceiling come together to create a cosy country-cottage experience,” says Yelve.

The textured beige on the walls is complemented by darker wood hues, creating a warm and inviting ambience. The furnishing is from D’Decor.

There’s also a study room on the first floor. The straight-line wood flooring, textured brown cabinet, table and chair complement each other, tied together with a neutral background of cream.
