Kids bedroom encourages a dreamy playfulness with a bespoke wallpaper by ‘life n color’ occupying center stage.

This compact four-bedroom villament spread across three floors has been designed for a family of five in the heart of Bengaluru to pair visual symmetry with easy-to-use functionality. The design concept focuses on creating a spacious and open environment, with an overarching palette of shades of white complemented with pops of colour and natural textures, paired with wood and brass accents as focal points. A customised verdant-print wallpaper creates a warm welcome on the top half of the entrance wall, with the bottom paneling painted white. Paired with white accessories—such as the lights on the wall and the floating console table—this makes what would have otherwise been a tiny vestibule feel clutter-free with an element of freshness. The entrance opens into the living room, which is swathed in shades of white, with hints of brass and wood for a touch of warmth and visual intrigue. A wooden swing, which faces the rest of the space, has been placed for the grandparents but can be removed to make the room feel more open when required. The furniture selection and seating options aim to provide a balance between contemporary and traditional aesthetics with a focus on creating a comfortable and inviting space for family gatherings and entertaining guests. Since this area has a double-height ceiling, a geometric-lined moulding running along the length of the entire wall, with hanging rattan lights in front of it, breaks any visual monotony here. A similar linear pattern continues across the TV console, which also allows natural light to stream between the staircase behind it. The otherwise monochrome kitchen, which opens into the living room, displays similar pops of yellow that form a harmoniously warm contrast against the black patterned backsplash tiles. The breakfast counter creates a visual barrier between the two rooms, allowing space for a quick or casual meal when needed. The flooring from the living room continues into this area, and the shared design elements between the two rooms quietly build a striking balance and connection between modern and traditional styles. While the clients wanted French windows running across one side of the dining room, we couldn’t make any changes to the building façade. As a nifty solution, we covered the original windows with wooden blinds (to conceal them while still allowing sunlight to stream in) and built French doors along a thin corridor in front of it. Similar to the rest of the house, a console cabinet in a niche beside the dining table provides maximization of storage here for crockery and cutlery. The staircase along the corridor between the living and dining room leads the way up to the first floor which houses the home office, master bedroom and the daughter’s room. A niche has been carved out below the stairs to hold utilities, and odds and ends around the house. For the couple that loves to read, the home office doubles as a library with ample storage space for their collection of books above, as well as files and work belongings below the desk. A cosy reading bay has also been built along the window. The colour palette here remains neutral, allowing a peaceful and productive work environment. Built as a simple and tranquil space, the master bedroom has predominantly been painted in white with a hint of royal blue to create subtle focal points on the bed’s headboard, the art, and the upholstery in the seating area across the bed. Originally a space for the balcony, this cosy seating space was enclosed to open up the bedroom. Textured wallpaper panels with geometric patterns interspersed between the adjacent wall add depth to the room. The walk-in closet—fitted in an area that was previously a passage—provides ample storage while maintaining a cohesive design aesthetic with the rest of the room. Next to it, the daughter’s room has been designed to hold multiple storage points—a necessity for any growing child who will need a slew of belongings, toys and school material over time. The furniture pieces and placement have been carefully chosen to allow her movement and play across the room through the day, On the second floor, which opens into the terrace, the guest bedroom has been designed to echo the luxury and comfort of a hotel room, without feeling too loud or overwhelming. A burnt orange headboard lends a cosy warm charm to the space, while the parallel-line wallpaper behind it elongates the height of the wall in an otherwise low-ceilinged room.

The most expensive and elaborate area in this 4BHK flat is the kid’s room. The couple have a daughter whose bedroom had a white wardrobe already installed. The rest of the room was done up in white PU finish to match it. The bunk bed is all rainbows and sunshine with a panelled headboard and a bookshelf on the side.

Our Rajasthani Client wanted their master bedroom to be a transitional trip to their native place while giving a modern touch of living in Mumbai. We created a window of nostalgia depicting the rajasthani mahals in the customised wallpaper as a backdrop of their bed.

A room for an MJ obsessed 4year old kid but made relevantly. A theme 'Mickey Jacsokn was picked to make it age appropriate without making it too childish something like but also something he can grow into. For this room, the layout had to be changed. This bed is also big enough for two people to fit so he could easily have sleepovers. The ceiling has fibre optic stars so he loves sleeping under stars. The cupboards are made with a lovely textured laminate. And with coloured wooden knobs. The open book shelf on the side has these playful ladder ends and I love how the cupboards cups together in a fun way/ Another fun element in this room is this magnetic rod for Neil to put all his magnets on or simply convert a few of his toys into magnets on them.

An activity area in the home for the kids is just perfect for any kid to linger on. PC: bsquarecreative
