The perfect home for an urbane collector

The Persona

The home of someone who enjoys collecting antiques, picking stories and displaying them is the kind of person who finds warmth in history. A space that takes you through time and tells you tales of the resident’s and their ancestors, where they come from and what they treasure. A bit about their traditions and culture and how they seamlessly translate it in an apartment of today.

The Focal Point

The main element in this space is the wall art. Shruti chose an intricately designed traditional piece of Odisha Pattachitra art that showcases Indian motifs. This sets the mood of the room. The colours, the material and the traditional theme has been picked up from here and then used in various ways around the room.

The Colours

A warm colour palette has been chosen to create an inviting space. The shades on the walls form a bold yet comforting base. Which is then seen across the room in various tones and shades.

The Fabrics

The upholstery used on the sofas has been taken from Asian Paints’ Nilaya range that was designed in collaboration with The Pure Concept Home. These in particular are from the Yukta collection. This premium choice of fabrics add a layer of softness while introducing embroidered prints to the setting. While two sofas have detailed designs, a two seater has been added with stripes to break the monotony. The curtains have been taken from the Heartland collection designed by Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee for Nilaya, by Asian Paints. These too have stripes that bring in a little glimmer to the setting. From the same collection a selection of cushions adds a touch of luxury. This works best if you are dressing up your space for the festive season.

The Furniture

The furniture is a mix of traditional and contemporary designs. The sofas for example have new-age structures. While the prints on them take you back in time. The coffee table, the side board and two of the side tables remind you of a palace-like aesthetic.
