2. The custom marble inlay pattern flooring beneath the pool table creates a striking design element.

3.The powder bathroom is an energetic and art inspired space where an entire wall is covered in a custom mosaic artwork and the ceiling is plastered in a custom collage wallpaper design of music artistes.

Keeping the classic must-haves of leather, glass and metal aside, this home by Sumessh Menon and Associates breaks the typical stereotype of a bachelor pad and brings in elegance and style by using designs that are understated and yet make a strong statement.

ELEGANCE PERSONIFIED

A very neutral colour palette in muted shades of greys, beiges and cool blues have helped to tie in the entire space together as an elegant man cave. “It was a 4-bed apartment which we have converted into a 2 bed and capitalised on each space to exude style and comfort in all possible ways. The focus of the home was to entertain guests, and that was kept in mind while designing each element,” shares Sumessh Menon, Principal, Sumessh Menon and Associates. Located in a premium residential building, Sumessh’s focus for this home was to ensure it made a subtle design statement and reflected the personality of the owner.
