The Marvel by Vaastavya

Colours, textures, shades, are all connected to the EQ of the home; a specific kind of onion pink for the wall panelling matches the couches at the far end; the sofa was carefully selected from a prominent brand. The architects love the gentleness of glass chandeliers and hence the one seen here is totally Victorian, with its little specks of light throwing delectable effects all over the room. If there was anything to draw attention to the large level of serenity, credit must be given to the full wall drapes that allow sunlight to come in. Eyeballs also naturally go to the one large artwork hung on one wall- the only artwork, in fact, besides two small squarish plates on one wall next to the easy chairs. Bereft of a frame, the large painting resembles the work of old masters, (Monet, for one). It singlehandedly sums up the essence of this room: old school style in new sparkling avatar.

The dining room is all about privacy and design composition. One wall is mirror panelled. The dining table, the console and the legs of the dining chairs are all carefully planned to be in sync, having similar brass plates as support. Surprisingly, the light above provided the starting point; its soft light and Victorian chandelier gives little patterns on the wallpaper and the entire effect is extremely serene.

Master Bedroom is designed through curating a French style Parisian salon look, the bedroom is exquisitely designed; every piece of furniture was created by a master carpenter/craftsman. 

A deeper shade of mauve/magenta rules here, with the bed taking CenterStage. Floral motifs against the panelling gives a glam look keeping the calmness intact. A more modern look embracing art deco also; the zig zag pattern on the wall makes the room interesting from any angle. Interesting bedside tables give a pop effect simply because of their artsy design.

A home theatre room that also has a low level seating for more informal easy-going ambience, along with a small bar unit that makes for easy entertaining. The use of microtopping lends this exposed concrete look with the vault ceiling. Existing furniture was used and refurbished. This is, unsurprisingly, one of the family’s most favourite places. The cute door/shutters for the bookshelf add to the quaintness.

Looking out from the 14th floor is a lovely experience; correct use of warm wood furniture and soft lighting with one green wall – and this space becomes the go to spot at all times of day.

A gazebo on the terrace level serves up the last bit of value in the design. The easy chairs allow you to look out into a night alight with the lights of the city.
