Conventional meets Contemporary

This is a mid-sized apartment in the Bangalore suburbs. The design idea was 'Conventional meets Contemporaryl'. The heirloom pieces my client inherited from her grandparents paved the way to the design philosophy. While the heritage pieces retain and bring in the old world charm, a series of new world finds are also dominant throughout the house. The beautiful Chettinad Pillar sourced from Pondicherry nods to the traditional value and adds character to the space. Cane weaves, solid wood furniture, hand painted wall art pieces, the brass and the greens, all accentuate the overall look. The highlight to me in this house however will be the relic desk that tells a story against the bare brick wall (puts the space to its best use too) and the large island with antique teak legs, bragging away the lovely grey and white modern kitchen in the backdrop. The sideboard screams mid century modern... however, it's startling how it blends in with the rest so very flawlessly!
