The home owners brief was very simple , “Give us a home to wake up to everyday that makes us feel fresh and alive. It needs to be modern yet homely” – adds Akanksha, founder of Studio 1mm.

Nestled away in Powai, Mumbai is this 1200 Sqft, 3BHK home where comfort is a key factor. Plush furniture, soft textures, and warm lighting contributes to a cozy atmosphere, all the rooms are both visually appealing and enjoyable to live in.

With 3 distinct personalities to define, the designer chose the feeling of “घर” as the anchor point! Since the initial brief, they were sure that all the common spaces will be a reflection of all three members of the family, tied together beautifully with grey as the neutral blanket and layered with colours that are inviting and joyful.

At every step, it was consciously ensured that the designs were a reflection of home owners private sanctuary. From the entrance, the home flows into this warm and charismatic living and dining room, continued further in with a minimal study, an earthy, ethnic and minimal parents bedroom and ending with a modern, boho-chic master bedroom with a private wardrobe.
