However, when Rahul and his wife, Reema , were expecting a baby , the couple decided to refurbish the bachelor pad and move into a new home. Enter Rohit Bhoite a young and promising interior designer who took up the job to design the space in-sync with the needs of the clients. Having travelled extensively, the clients had their hearts set on European sensibilities. After a few rounds of discussion, the clients and the designer decided upon a Scandinavian- inspired theme. Renowned for their simplicity , utility ,and beauty, Scandinavian homes have a pure, parsec-back style packed with functionality, clean lines, flawless craftsmanship and understand elegance. The use of light is considered to be extremely important here and the houses are characterized by the use of earthy muted tones distinct materials and minimal ornamentation. But there was a challenge. Rahul wanted a space that would double up as an entertainment zone too. His wife on the other hand, wanted a stylish set-up. However with the baby due in 7 months, there was also a time restriction at play, and had to be a quick renovation project. Rohit's plan for the house was well fleshed out for the living room. When it came to the color palette white was the predominant hue (on the walls and the flooring) with accent colors appearing in furniture and accessories. Artificial marble cutouts were used to create an interesting pattern on the living and dining area floors. Grey grouting has been done to achieve a shimmery effect on the flooring as well. Keeping with the Scandinavian theme, the designer has used statement pieces from Italy, Turkey and Australia in the living with wood at its base. The Italian tan leather sofa and the plush chairs create a warm atmosphere, while the huge television on the wall and the state-of-the-art speaker that looks like a dish antenna is proof of Rahul's love for sports and movies. The designer made sure he fitted task, mood and the accent lights in the room to suite various occasions. While doing up the space, the balcony( which extends from the living room to the bedroom) looks upon an elevated garden of another building. by placing plants in the balcony as well as the living area, Rohit created layers of green to bring the garden into the space and make it one. The dining area too has a similar language. The grey linen wallpaper continues down the length of a wall in the dining room creating symmetry between the two spaces. The custom made wooden fan, table and chairs add to the warm yet simplistic vibe of the space. Accent pieces like a mustard color chair and bench at the dining table monotony of the area. Rohit explains further, " Since this is family of three , we kept just 4 chairs. The kitchen is right behind the bench (which comes in handy too accommodate guests ) and we kept it there for easy flow of food" As for the personal area, The master bedroom, Access to the dining space, sports Australian white marble flooring "we tried to create a fading effect through flooring, from the dining to the bedroom" says Rohit. There is a comfy walnut wood bed with a leather-padded headrest and a full-length wardrobe, the absolute highlight, are bespoke elements created especially for the clients. One wardrobe here is made using four different veneers to create a distinct look; while an exclusive white wardrobe in one corner of the room was designed to accommodate the Missus bags and accessories. The jute and the silver textured wallpaper, Tom Dixon copper lights, stark red lounger and Superman artwork, all together create an interesting composition, merging different styles into one cohesive whole.

The same holds true for the guest bedroom where few decor changes are there.

The living and dining area boasts rafters finished with veneer, imparting the illusion of joists supporting the house's roof. A six-seater dining table, adorned with arched paneling, graces the dining area. The living room's main wall showcases textured paint, while a Lego-style artwork adds a touch of creativity. The centerpiece of the living and dining area is the TV wall, exhibiting veneer paneling on the lower half and a handmade Scandinavian rustic groove pattern. A subtle niche in the wall serves as a planter, enhancing the natural aesthetic.

With utmost humility, we crafted the TV unit to seamlessly blend with the color of the ceiling, ensuring a harmonious integration within the space. Through thoughtful paneling and subtle wooden accents, we aimed to enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of the area. Despite facing the challenge of an RCC wall, which limited our ability to adjust switchboards as per the client's preferences, we persevered to create a solution that met their needs to the best of our abilities. Our humble efforts were dedicated to achieving a cohesive and pleasing design that brings comfort and satisfaction to our client.

One of the foremost needs John and Agnes, and we felt, was to brighten the heck outta the entire home! A clean space that keeps the eyes moving without feeling stuffy. We stuck to the basics- a crisp TV unit in white, and a white back panel contrasted only by striking wooden rafters on one end. A tan 3-seater recliner comfortably adequate for the small family sits in the living room. A contemporary raw coffee table paired with the bright dyed carpet lends the living room a timeless vibe, while the splash of green in the form of a potted plant, only furthered boosts the sense of freedom it radiates!

Dining area

The continuation of the design from the dining area is brought through the same wooden rafter ceiling along with some track lights on both sides. We have also used a wooden flooring in this area to separate it from the other areas of this #4BHKhome. As for the seating we have a unusual 3+2+1 wing chair. The wall behind the seating has been treated with same red brick cladding which is used in the foyer. A small rustic themed bar unit is accommodated in this area.⠀

This living room design features an L shaped sofa in a light grey shade, making it a modern choice for your home.

A pop of bright color and the monochrome pattern adds a little excitement to the sitting lounge attached with the master bedroom. ​The bright yellow pillows add life and excitement yet they don't distract from the carpet, the center piece on it, mirror frames on the wall and the exclusive chandelier.
