HS Desiigns creates an apartment in the heart of Mumbai that has an air of understated sophistication by using clean lines and a color palette that is subdued… A palatial atmosphere is present in the 1,400-square-foot property, which also has strategic aspects of mystery that contribute to the element of surprise that gives a personal space a sense of pizzazz. In order to hide storage inside wall paneling (as seen in the multi-purpose room) or appropriately within constructed furniture, the designers make use of the camouflage concept in a sophisticated manner across the whole space. It is interesting to note that one would never be able to tell that there is a door hidden behind a large painting on the veneer sliding panel of the drawing-dining area. This is also true for the faux scenario, in which a window is concealed in order to create a study table in the daughter’s bedroom. A neutral interior envelope is created by the use of crèmes and shades of umber, while an element of intrigue is introduced through the use of premeditated pops of color in the dining table legs, niches in the walls of the daughter’s bedroom, soft furnishings, wall art and artefacts, and other similar elements. There is a sense of a careful eye for detail in the selection of light fixtures as well as in the modestly designed furniture and furnishings. As an illustration, the living-dining area exudes an air of understated luxury by utilizing warm tones of beige and brown. This is achieved by contrasting the coolness of Italian marble flooring with the eucalyptus smoked veneer ceiling and walls. Additionally, the aesthetics of the veneer ceiling are enhanced by the addition of custom-designed metal lights. A rich play of geometric shapes is scattered throughout this scene; possibly in an effort to deviate from the linearity and provide a number of different points of interest. The approach that was taken to this apartment with three bedrooms highlights the effort that was made to enhance the spatial impression of the already big residence, particularly the linear component of the flat. A mirror in the daughter’s bedroom breaks the linearity of the bedroom passage, adding dimension; similarly, two wooden sliding screens are affixed to the bay windows in the living room, breaking the linear expanse of the bay windows; a partially-open kitchen adds volume to the living-dining area, as does the bathroom that is partially open to the daughter’s bedroom. An earthy touch is achieved in the bedrooms by using elements such as fluted teak wood, basic wall decorations, and a picture depicting a tree of life, among other elements. This creates an atmosphere that is warm and inviting. Take a look at the pictures on the website indiaartndesign.com.
