“We are South Indians, have a lot of guests and hence want something that is functional and yet classy”

 Now that’s a tricky one. In India to design a living room that is functional and yet classy, you need to take into account a lot of factors. In India, a living room has to be

  • Comfortable & a relaxing space where the family convenes everyday
  • Must have a television
  • Extra seating space for guests
  • Definitely not the whites.

CLIENT ESSENTIALS

 The couple lives in Chennai and bought this apartment a few years ago. It’s an empty shell and a blank space to start colouring. Client requirements:

  • Foyer partition that doesn’t block natural light
  • Functional living room with television
  • Ample seating space for guests
  • Preferred color palette: Green

CUBS Design Chronicles

These requirements definitely sound functional and basic and now to pull it all together to make it classy is a CUBS challenge. And also to design a room with hardly any natural light is one of the biggest design challenges. And we love taking up challenges!!

  • The foyer was created by giving a shoe rack with a window sill option. This also doubled up as a crockery unit on the other side.
  • The mirror in front of the window sill also helps reflect the only natural light from the kitchen window.
  • We chose to go wooden. South Indians have an affinity for anything wood and why not? Wooden furniture definitely gives that warm and earthy feel to any room.
  • An open kitchen concept with a bar counter along with kettle pendant lamps and blue bar stools gave the much-required quirk.
  • The signature Gond Painting added the necessary colour and provided the focal point for the room.
