Living room

One of the biggest challenges in the apartment was its really long and linear layout, so the zoning of spaces became quite unnerving. We used furniture and art to help with that. The sectional couch was the anchor piece and almost created an invisible line to demarcate the living area. A large round coffee table was placed off of that so that circulation is a non issue, with a custom-made credenza (which doubles as a shoe rack and a tv unit) opposite it to balance the room. We painted it a glossy white so it disappears into the wall and doesn’t feel like it is encroaching into the thoroughfare. The rug is a Sham Ahuja hand-me-down, that had been marinating in flood water for a couple of months, but we managed to salvage it and it brings the right amount of colour into the room.
