“The homeowners wanted their apartment to be luxurious and classic with a modish touch in certain spaces. When we introduced the European-style design, they felt an instant connection to it and thus began the journey of finding the perfect balance between vintage and contemporary European elements to create an opulent home,” says Ketaki Poonawala, principal architect and founder of Ketaki Poonawala Designs, describing this apartment in Deccan Gymkhana, Pune.

“The principal design language throughout the home is European with eclectic elements, wainscoting on walls and pops of colour to accentuate different spaces according to the usability,” says Poonawala.

Moulded double doors with antique brass handles open into the foyer where walls with arched panels and motif keystones set the theme for Victorian-inspired interiors. Behind the custom chair, a glazed arch opening gives a glimpse of the patio on the other side.

“The living room opens into a quaint patio with printed floor tiles and a raw teak-wood swing finished in wicker. Traveller’s palm and bougainvillea set up a balcony garden,” says Poonawala.

In the media room, a reclaimed wood ceiling and reclining chairs create an inviting ambience. An Audrey Hepburn artwork gives a playful lift to the setting. The patterned terrazzo flooring is from Bharat Flooring.

The neutral theme is livened up with pops of red. Wooden flooring and blinds bring warmth to this space.
