Navin and Divya Reddys 3500 sqft Bengaluru home has a distinct colonial style

he bedroom, like the rest of the house, reflects a neutral palette. To break the monotony within the monochrome, use different textures that provide visual relief. Fresh flowers too, can do this trick.

An easy way to make spaces feel more open is by using doors with lattices that afford some peek-a-boo. Strategically placing mirrors too, can make an area look bigger than it is.

A clever way to utilise dead corners is by building cabinets. You can use this to either display fine china or even travel souvenirs. Invest in a minimally designed, sleek dining table that looks suave but also saves on space, especially in small apartments.

The sectioned seating area provides a space for peaceful TV viewing. The easiest way to demarcate spaces in your living room is by using a sectional sofa. This not only provides ample space to sit, but also allows for accessories like rugs and centre tables.

If you’re tired of wooden cabinets and wardrobes, give them a swish makeover with patterned wallpaper. This allows you to experiment with the overall décor of the room as well.

If your room doesn’t allow for a lot of storage space, think about going vertical. Niches, floating shelves and even tall cabinets can come in handy.
