Intro

Contemporary interior design exhibits uncluttered look that is both functional and aesthetic. It is all about clean lines, minimalism, neutral colour palette and a focus on utility. There is emphasis on open spaces and lots of natural light. The style prioritizes the use of technology and modern materials - marble, metal, glass, track lights. Furniture & decor tends to be sleek, simple, and functional, with an emphasis on form and practicality, rather than ornate details.

Now, this is fun! Retro interior design style draws inspiration from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. This style is characterized by bold colors, geometric patterns, Vintage furniture and Pop art, and unique colorful lighting. All in all, this is a very playful and nostalgic style that celebrates the vibrance and colorful aesthetic of the past. It can be rather eclectic depending upon which part of the world one draws inspiration from.

Intro

Brutalist architectural style goes back to mid-20th century where "brutalism" refers to the French word "béton brut," (raw concrete). The design language is characterized by the rawness of the bold exposed concrete structure which is minimalist, and possesses utilitarian aesthetics. We have curated 2 interpretations of this design philosophy – Indian and contemporary, each with a sense of industrial chic and ruggedness, stylish furniture and unique accents.

Intro

Neo Classical is the latest darling of interior design world! The classical part of it refers to the mid-18th century Greek and Roman art & architecture, emphasizing symmetry, columns and arches, clean geometric lines, and a sense of proportion and balance. The “neo” in the neoclassical denotes a reinterpretation of classical motifs and principles, rather than a strict adherence to them. This combined with modern lighting, furniture and art produces some jaw dropping results.
