Beautiful Homes: What was the inspiration behind the overall home design?

Sumati Aggarwal: Given the exclusivity of the location, we aimed to design a home that balances sophistication with comfort and complements the client’s lifestyle. We focused on clean lines, bespoke finishes, and a fluid spatial layout that invites natural light and ease of movement. A curated palette of rich materials and calming tones helped us bring in a sense of understated elegance. The wallpapers, fabrics, and internal painting colours by Asian Paints helped reflect our belief in restraint as a form of sophistication

BH: How did you approach designing the kid’s room?

SA: At the time of designing the space, the client’s daughter was just two years old, so our focus was on creating a room that felt nurturing, playful, and safe. We created a space where she could grow, explore, and feel completely at ease.

We worked with a soft, neutral base palette and introduced gentle textures and muted accents to keep the mood light and calming. Storage was thoughtfully integrated to encourage tidiness without overwhelming the space. Also, all furniture was chosen with the child’s safety and comfort in mind. The goal was to create a room that could evolve with her needs.

BH: How did you make the space feel open and expansive?

SA: We achieved this by embracing a fluid spatial flow. Visual barriers were minimised so that each zone could seamlessly transition into the next one without feeling disconnected. Proportions were carefully calibrated, and we used low-profile furniture, tonal continuity, and reflective surfaces to enhance light and openness.

Storage was seamlessly integrated to maintain a clean visual language, while carefully curated textures and materials helped add depth without density.

BH: Do you have any interior design tips for those looking to create a similar home aesthetic?

SA: For a similar aesthetic, focus on timeless materials, a muted palette, and layered textures. Let each space breathe—avoid visual clutter and invest in pieces that are both beautiful and functional.

Good lighting is transformative—use it to create mood, not just illumination. And, most importantly, let the design reflect the way you truly live; that is where luxury really begins.
