Dancing Prairies

The owner of this apartment is a vanilla and anthurium farmer, and when he and his wife wanted to design their dream home, their brief was simple. A warm and colourful space, with a bit of glamour thrown in. The plan was to highlight the couple's interests like dancing and travelling. The Living room features shades of white but is offset by a dash of colour.

The Living room features a huge custom made rug which has 55 different hues of nature. A fancy Statuario marble clad foyer is the first thing you see when you enter the house. Then you walk into a huge open living space with two swings, a formal entertainment area and a reading nook.The reading nook features a yellow leather chaise with an abstract shaped solid color rug. This is quite a striking element in the otherwise neutral space and immediately draws the attention of the guests.The apartment has a huge open kitchen with a formal dining. The Kitchen is again kept very neutral in tones of white. A white and gold backsplash adds a subtle glamour to the space and is complimented by the brass crockery unit and brass showcase on either side of the kitchen island. The Dining room walls adorn huge paintings and the custom made from Benares. The contemporary dining table and chairs are made from striking solid wood legs and glass top that seats 8 people. The home turned out to be a spacious cosy space with three huge bedrooms, white walls and colourful art all around.

The master has a walk-in wardrobe with a long bay window and mirrored ceilings. The highlight of the house is undoubtedly the outdoor bar and garden area which overlooks the treetops of Bangalore. A huge quartz bar island forms the centre stage and is planked by a white bench on one side along with a self irrigating vertical garden to cut through the concrete look of the balcony.
