Urban Raj Revival

The kitchen opens into a dining space inspired by a modern durbar for family meals and memories. The walls are adorned with intricate, arch-inspired motifs through a stunning wallpaper by Iksel that recalls traditional South Asian inspired frescoes and palace details, all refined in a contemporary palette.

A dark wood custom dining table takes centre stage, surrounded by earthy tones that complement the interiors without breaking the theme of the kitchen and the dining space.

The kitchen is envisioned as the heart of the home and is designed to express cultural tones that feel inviting and practical. Terrazzo flooring grounds the space with texture and playfulness, bringing durability and understated character to a high-traffic family zone. Thoughtful details such as crown mouldings and layered lighting lend a sense of craft and permanence, while a Mojave Quartzite grounds the contemporary aesthetic.

Beyond the main kitchen, a dedicated bar extends the home’s design language into modern South Asian sensibilities. Wrapped in a Varanasi vibrant wallpaper featuring illustrated elephants and folkloric motifs, this secondary space acts as a utilitarian area and an intersection of heritage art and modern functionality.

A joyful haven of imagination, the kids' bedroom celebrates color and texture through a young and modern south asian lens. Warm coral and a blush palette set an uplifting tone, creating a space that feels both nurturing and energizing.

The draped fabric canopy above the bed adds a touch of theatrical charm with traditional fabric installations and transforming the sleeping area into a cocoon of comfort. A handwoven rug in tonal reds grounds the space with artisanal character, reinforcing the tactile, craft-forward narrative. Playful lighting, delicate wall art, and custom-chosen accessories inject personality into the room, allowing it to grow with the kids over time.

The second kids' bedroom blends playful pop-inspiration with south asian design details. Covered in soft lavender tones, the room feels dreamy and whimsical while remaining rooted in Indian craft and patterns.

The wallpaper takes the spotlight, where delicate palm motifs repeat across a purple backdrop. Inspired by traditional indian block prints, it adds personality while creating a cozy feel. An upholstered headboard and neutral bedding keeps the space balanced with the vibrancy of the wall.

A refined retreat, the master bedroom is a modern architectural vision while bringing in the poetry of south asian heritage. A deep, inky blue panelled wall holds the space, lending it a gravitas while crisp white ceilings and warm wooden floors keep the atmosphere light, balanced, and contemporary.

A hand-inspired rug the family wanted to repurpose with intricate blue patterns brings artisanal character into the room, echoing the craftsmanship of South Asian design tradition. Bespoke bedside tables created in wood and sculptural lighting in brushed brass add a modern edge, while still honoring the detail that defines the region’s decorative legacy.

Resembling a jewel-like space, the bathroom is designed to feel indulgent yet perfect for vanity. Muted beige, classic panelling and brass hardware bring in a royal touch without feeling overly ornate.

Striking marble slabs in soft grey with warm gold create a natural focal point, adding a sense of luxury and timelessness. The space balances beauty with an ambient glow while magnifying the perfect harmony of the natural textures of the materials.

This room is designed as a comforting space that reflects tradition. The illustrated wallpaper featuring Madhubani motifs takes inspiration from Indian folklore, nature and craft. Rendered in earthy tones, it adds a simple regal touch while bringing a sense of nostalgia to the space.

Simple furniture, soft patterned bedding, and natural wood accents bring a sense of calm to the room. All these thoughtful elements shape a space that celebrates and pays homage to India’s diverse, story-filled heritage.

This home is a testament to our belief that great design lives at the centre of culture, craftsmanship and modernity. From intimate bedrooms to vibrant gathering spaces, the project reflects a thoughtful balance between heritage and innovation, nostalgia and newness. It demonstrates how cultural references can be reimagined for modern lifestyles while feeling sophisticated and globally relevant.
