The traditional definition of compartmentalising spaces is giving way to a more dynamic, open-plan design vocabulary. It’s about time we establish and delineate a new design language that is here to stay.
1. The Living Room
Smart & Intuitive
The living room, with planned movie nights, story-telling sessions, high teas or gaming evening, is the perfect hangout space that encourages conversation and interaction.
Minimalistic by choice, you have a blank canvas that’s conducive to experimentation, even as it maintains a strong identity. A sink-into-me couch is a given; complete the look with minimal accessories. Smart, contemporary is the prevalent tone in this space.
3. The Reading Corner
For Interospection and More…
Informal and formal living areas need to flow seamlessly to create an easy living narrative.
if space permits, squeeze in a reading corner. Little gives you more joy than curling up in your favourite chair with your cuppa. This space is all about connecting with yourself, looking within, and it calls for thoughtful design. Innovative design with a focus on functionality is what we are looking for here.
4. The Dining Room
Food, friends & Conversations
Informal brunches, sophisticated sit-downs or quiet dinners, the dining space is quite theatrical in its temperament.
The setting calls for intelligent furniture, It’s about being creative, and even a little rebellious in terms of design. versatile, multi-functional, sleek and stylish, choose furniture that ups the overall style quotient and revolutionises the way people see spaces.
This is where all good conversations being, make sure you treat this space with lots of love!
5. The Bedroom
A Private Cocoon
In a world where studio apartments and city lofts are becoming the norm, savvy design is an absolute must.
In a way, it’s about going back to the basics – clean, cutting edge and functional design with comfort being its prime agenda. The bedroom is your private space, it’s what you wake up to. Dress it up in colours that calm, inspire and cheer you up. Pack in a little punch with a smart dresser, a comfy couch, and a walk-in. Perfect!
