This Mumbai sea-facing apartment by the BNK Group reimagines the traditional honeycomb design, offering two different variations in this bedroom – an elongated version on its daisy-hued headboard and a rounded overlapping version on its shimmery beau-blue bed cover.

4. Contemporary earthiness
An earthy wall, split into chic rectangular segments, offers the outline for this Mumbai bedroom’s design playbook, conceived by Baldiwala Associates. Retro metal pendant lights mirror the unfussy straight lines of the wall grid.
A modish bed, dressed in spotless white and navy, breaks away from the rustic theme, yet seamlessly juxtaposes itself against the ochre backdrop. A chest of drawers to the right pays equal tribute to the duality of the room, reflecting a glossy two-toned palette of chocolate and indigo.

In this rustic Bengaluru shell by Kamat & Rozario Architecture, of red-earth sun-washed bricks, reminiscent of those used in Indian vernacular architecture, form a kiln-like feature wall.

Defined by clean lines and solid blocks of colour, this Bengaluru bedroom strikingly offsets the organic tones, the untidy treetops and cloud-dappled sky, viewed through the sweeping wall-to-wall window. The space features a teal accent wall, which is highlighted by a pair of elongated tufted headboards and diminutive picture frames. A diagonally placed rug displaying a multicoloured, yet muted geometric print, gives impetus to the room’s angular character.
