The drawing room sets the stage for the home’s overall aesthetic—clean lines, soft neutrals, and a touch of elegance. Cream-coloured sofas, paired with patterned cushions and modern decor accents, create a welcoming, sophisticated space for guests and family alike. The subtle while curtains cascade down from tall windows, softening the space while ensuring privacy and light control. A sculptural vase on the side table adds an artistic flair, tying in with the earthy theme that runs throughout the house.

From here, the home opens up to the living room, a stunning blend of comfort and style. Teal upholstery on the sectional sofa instantly adds a pop of colour to the neutral backdrop, tying together the earthy tones of polished wooden tables, metallic accents, and plush rugs. With large glass doors that open out to the courtyard and greenery, this space is designed to be airy and connected to nature—a place to unwind and enjoy family time. The deep blues, complemented by warm wood textures, ground the room while giving it an inviting and luxurious feel.

Adjoining these spaces is the modern kitchen, where turquoise cabinetry contrasts beautifully with dark wooden tones, balancing modernity with a sense of cosiness. The open, modular design ensures efficiency, while the cabinetry extends to the dining area nearby, which is an eye-catcher. The marble-top dining table, surrounded by velvet upholstered chairs with brass detailing, is set against a backdrop of a mural featuring lush foliage and flamingos—adding a playful yet elegant touch to the dining experience. The black-and-white patterned floor tiles under the dining table ground the space while adding a visual punch to the otherwise neutral palette.

The sleek wooden staircase, wrapped with glass and wood railing, makes its way up to the first floor, leading you to private sanctuaries. The master bedrooms reflect the same blend of tradition and modernity seen downstairs but have their own unique personalities. Light, pastel walls form the backdrop for striking colour palettes—rust-orange upholstered beds, soft blue panelling, and contemporary furniture. Every bedroom boasts its own dressing area and attached bathroom, combining functionality with comfort.

In the lounge, which acts as a private family gathering spot, deep sofas invite you to sit back and relax. The lounge overlooks the courtyard, maintaining the theme of openness and connection to nature. Here, the family can gather for late-night talks, read a book, or just enjoy the natural light pouring in through tall windows.

Home Theater of Courtyard Chronicles by Aarambh Design Studio

The home theatre is a world of its own—a dedicated room for entertainment and relaxation. Deep reds and luxurious velvet seating set the tone for immersive movie nights. The plush carpeting underfoot, combined with warm wooden panelling and subdued lighting, creates a space where comfort meets luxury, perfect for the family to unwind.

Throughout the home, the use of colours and textures creates a story of warmth and modern elegance. The combination of rich teals, rust, soft blues, and neutral tones offers a soothing palette that’s easy on the eyes while adding character. The strategic use of wooden elements—whether in the staircase, panelling, or furniture—lends the home a grounded feel, connecting it back to nature and traditional design sensibilities. Decorative accents like brass handles, contemporary artwork, and unique furniture pieces add an element of surprise and individuality to each room.

Every inch of this residence is crafted with a sense of purpose, reflecting Vastu principles that enhance energy flow and well-being. The 27-foot courtyard not only serves as a visual anchor but also promotes ventilation and light throughout the home, bridging each space to create a harmonious flow. The balcony that runs across the first floor offers an outdoor retreat to enjoy morning coffee, evening breezes, or just a moment of quiet, with a view of the lush greenery in the courtyard below.

This contemporary abode not only meets the family’s needs but also uplifts their spirits—a modern sanctuary grounded in tradition, crafted for comfort, and designed to be lived in.
