Look & feel: A sophisticated eclectic space that is welcoming and charming.
Approach: The house was designed for a big joint family, with three generations and their different likes and requirements. Hence, we felt an Eclectic theme would do justice to the design of this expansive house.
About the theme: Eclectic theme is difficult to desegregate and categorize and classify. Eclectic style, by definition, is one that mixes and matches break the rules, and embraces contemporary and vintage.
As mentioned, the style itself embraces concepts such as, “rules are made to be broken,” and that has been our forte –
The larger than life feels sinks while you enter the relatively large living room. A sophisticated eclectic space that is welcoming and charming.
The vintage inspired Wood and fluted glass partition, highlighted with grey on the left side of the living room gives a glimpse of the partially covered peach and blue Kitchen.
The significantly large marble TV unit grabs your attention while you are seated on the 14 feet long L shaped sofa which was designed to cater a large but informal gathering. The Red couch adds appeal and attracts attention amidst the subtle colours in the living area.
The Moroccan design carpet was introduced to add some pattern to the floor. The layering of the carpets further helps in adding some character. The muted floral upholstery of the statement chair makes place for itself in the eclectic themed space.
The electric blue accents define & highlight the dining area. The collage of modern abstract paintings forms the perfect backdrop to this eclectic themed space.
The modern 16 armed light sits proudly above the marble table complementing the royal blue and black and white upholstered chairs. The mix of patterns in the chair further justifies the theme whereas the royal blue emanates a rich view along with the classic touch of beauty that the chair designs bring in.
Theme: Vintage Eclectic: This classic, chic, retro kitchen is functional to the core. From small niches for easy access of daily utilities to bigger ones for appliances. The striking vintage chequered floor compliments the unconventional peach n blue cabinets. The gold knobs and the wooden ceiling resonate with the theme.
Theme: Vintage Eclectic: This design involves interspersing of antique, vintage, and classic elements with newer and offbeat finishes or furnitures.
The vintage eclectic bedroom themed bedroom gets its vintage highlights from the wooden hand crafted side table with gold knobs and dark tan chesterfield headboard and bed. The Greenish grey colour of the bed wall adds classic touch to the room. The modern glass shutters of the wardrobe bring the required balance. The richness of the set up resonates in the Raw silk curtains, marble floor and washroom door which is highlighted with pattern formed with veneer and hammered brass sheets.
The orange console or chest of drawers forms the identity of the room. it’s an important example of how aesthetics and necessities can go hand in hand. What otherwise could have been a bulky unattractive storage, now gels well in this eclectic vintage room and adds its own charm.
Theme: Vintage Eclectic: Calm and soothing tones combined with vintage mouldings result into this subtle yet luxurious room.
The textured console adds character to the bed wall, which is highlighted with mint and silver wallpaper.
The theme extends and resonates in the vintage inspired wardrobe shutters with subtle grey finish.
Bright, colourful and functionally planned. This kids room gave us an opportunity to explore this playful palette. Customised wallpapers & quirky graphics balanced with the grey walls and pine bunk bed. The bunk bed was designed to be attractive, functional and safe for the kids. The safety fence was introduced and executed aesthetically. The lower bed, is a sofa cum bed hence converting itself into a double bed whenever required. The colourful hexagonal cement floor gels into the theme of the room. The vintage yellow washroom door is the highlight of the wardrobe wall.
The elite, classy, & less is more design. The centrally placed veneer TV panel, conceals a structural round pillar, hence adding aesthetic value. The herringbone wooden floor acts as an appealing yet neutral canvas to this room. The tall headboard on one side and teal statement chairs on the other side help maintaining the understated luxury.
Designed for a large joint family spanning three generations, this expansive home called for a theme that could accommodate diverse tastes and requirements under one roof. We chose an Eclectic approach — a style that, by definition, embraces the philosophy that rules are made to be broken. It allowed us to weave together vintage and contemporary elements, creating a space that feels cohesive yet characterful, welcoming yet sophisticated.
The living room makes an immediate impression. A vintage-inspired wood and fluted glass partition hints at the partially visible peach and blue kitchen beyond, while a large marble TV unit anchors the space. A 14-foot L-shaped sofa designed for informal family gatherings dominates the seating area, with a bold red couch adding vibrancy against the otherwise subdued palette. A Moroccan carpet introduces pattern underfoot, layered rugs add depth, and a collage of modern abstract paintings forms a fitting backdrop. The dining area is defined by electric blue accents, a 16-armed statement light, and a mix of royal blue and black-and-white upholstered chairs — the varied patterns and rich tones capturing the eclectic spirit perfectly.
The kitchen leans into a vintage eclectic sensibility — retro chequered flooring, unconventional peach and blue cabinetry, gold knobs, and a wooden ceiling come together in a space that is as functional as it is characterful, with thoughtfully designed niches for both daily utilities and larger appliances.
The first bedroom draws its vintage character from a hand-crafted wooden side table with gold knobs, a dark tan chesterfield headboard, and a greenish-grey feature wall. Modern glass wardrobe shutters provide balance, while raw silk curtains, marble flooring, and a washroom door detailed in veneer and hammered brass add richness. An orange chest of drawers serves as the room’s defining piece — proving that storage can be both practical and beautiful. The second bedroom takes a quieter approach, with calm tones, vintage mouldings, a mint and silver wallpaper feature wall, and a subtly finished vintage-inspired wardrobe that ties the room together with understated elegance.
The kids’ room offered an opportunity to explore a more playful palette. Custom wallpapers, quirky graphics, and colourful hexagonal cement flooring are grounded by grey walls and a bespoke pine bunk bed — designed to be safe, functional, and visually appealing, with the lower bunk doubling as a sofa bed when needed.
The master bedroom is guided by the principle of understated luxury. A centrally placed veneer TV panel conceals a structural pillar while adding aesthetic value. Herringbone wooden flooring provides a warm, neutral base, with a tall headboard and teal statement chairs on either side of the room — restrained in detail, considered in every element.
