A combination of pastel hues adds colour and fun to the kids’ room design. A custom bed with a multifunctional design includes a hammock on the upper level, open storage and a drawer below the bed, and a study area.
In this Gurugram flat, the professionals of GREENARK demonstrate how custom-made furniture and simplistic design can achieve an elegant yet cosy aesthetic in a modern home. Their team of over 70 designers and professionals have successfully delivered over 50 projects in Delhi and the NCR.
The open sit-out in the northwest is designed to make the most of the morning light and enhance ventilation in the interiors.
The house also has an open theatre with a bar—perfect for a family night or entertaining guests.
As we have seen, Courtyard House is the ultimate representation of modern luxury, with every amenity one expects of a high-end lifestyle—from a Juliet balcony to a peaceful garden. The house design reflects exclusivity, offering residents a paradise for experiencing comfort and luxury without stepping out of the home. The professionals from Rhythm and Emphasis Design Studio have created an aspirational home with all the luxury features one would expect from a high-end home.
Lastly, a tropical theme would be incomplete without a few plants and flowers that nod to the natural environment in the tropics. Adding potted palms and fragrant blooms can bring the desired freshness to the aesthetic, besides adding texture and colour to contrast the light tones.
Designing a tropical-themed house involves carefully selecting the ideal colours, furniture, and accessories to make it comfortable and inviting. It is also essential to consider the type of house and its location and amenities to enhance luxury and comfort. Rhythm and Emphasis Design Studio considers all aspects of a project, including the client’s specific needs, budget, and style preferences, before developing a personalised concept to suit all the requirements. They rely on their professional knowledge and extensive industry experience to implement interior remodelling, new construction, and interior design projects, ensuring exceptional customer service.
Besides adding texture and colour, the designers focused on enhancing the natural light inside the rooms. Here, custom covers over the radiators match the white louvred window shutters, besides offering display space for accessories. The furniture is neatly aligned to create a balanced visual with the fireplace at the centre. Instead of artwork over the mantel, the designers chose a large mirror, its ornate frame matching the vintage aesthetic of the fireplace while reflecting light to present a modern look.
The expansiveness of the waiting lounge is inviting. The waiting lounge is designed in a classic combination of white and wood, with the comfortable lounge sofa and the wrought iron coffee table. The colours are brought through yellow sofas, the live wall at the end, and the green wall that extends to the ceiling. The waiting lounge décor is soothing, calming and welcoming.
The natural stone finish on the island’s waterfall countertop carries to the kitchen backsplash, enhancing the room’s luxury. Handleless cabinets, sleek appliances, and beautiful light reflections on the floor and counters create a stunning visual in the kitchen.
In this flat, the team from Greenark have demonstrated how to achieve a luxury aesthetic without going the classic route. The perfect combination of space-saving design, unique art, and visual textures creates a beautiful visual that elevates the flat’s luxuriousness.
One of the advantages of having a team of woodworkers onsite was that ample storage and display shelves, cabinets, and even under-bed storage could be custom-built for every room.
The house’s interiors present a refreshing change from the straight lines and minimalist aesthetic in most homes nowadays. It’s a reminder that traditional or ethnic Indian décor can be showcased even in modern homes by perfectly balancing the old and the new, depending on one’s preferences. The interior designers from decorMyPlace have achieved the right balance for their clients in this Pune villa.
The kid’s room, designed for a girl, has flawless finishes that reflect luxury. Yet, the designers have included playful elements to add comfort and cosiness to the room. The colour palette has baby pink, light grey, and white tones, ensuring a bright ambience for the child’s room. Flowy pink sheers add an element of softness to the linear design throughout the room. Custom-built beds set in an L-shaped arrangement provide ample space for playing in the centre of the room. Besides built-in wardrobes, a study desk, and shelves for organising toys, the designers included extra pull-out storage under the beds to keep everything organised.

These supremely useful and versatile seats can be found in every style – contemporary or traditional, cushioned or firm, dressed up or dressed down.

Designing a bare shell apartment poses a significant challenge at most times since everything needs to be customised. And it becomes even more challenging when it needs to be done in the middle of a pandemic. When the interior designers at Décor My Place took on the featured project, it was during the peak of the COVID pandemic in May-June 2020. It took them around two months just to complete the design, including planning the layout, making 3D models, and scheduling the electrical and plumbing work, among other tasks.
The design covered the foyer, three bedrooms, living room, kitchen, utility balcony, terrace, staircase, and dining. The comprehensive scope of work ranged from designing sofas to civil work and material selection, such as tiles for all the bathrooms and flooring, besides execution of all aspects such as floor tiling, bathroom tiling, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical work from scratch, and fabrication for the staircase, terrace pergola, glass stair railing, and glass partitions for the bathroom.
With their extensive experience in designing customised apartment interiors for customers, the team at Décor My Place didn’t let the pandemic stop them from executing the project to perfection. Let’s tour the project to see the immaculate finishes and the beautiful custom features that make the design unique and memorable.
