In a quiet street of Bengaluru’s upmarket Indiranagar area lies a sprawling corner property surrounded by old trees. It’s a view the residents—a family of four—bask in daily. Spread over three storeys, the interiors of this 15,000 sq ft abode are a melange of luxurious marble, earthy wooden accents, and art. “For me, this is a timeless combination,” beams designer Vinita Chaitanya. “We’ve used a dramatic amount of wood in a myriad of treatments from carved and fluted to decorative panels and upcycled accents. We were also really fortunate to find a translucent onyx like marble that works wonders to elevate the decor.” This combination is evidenced just beyond the main corridor on the ground floor. Flanked by handcrafted teak sliding doors, the passage culminates at Kalighat paintings especially chosen by Chaitanya for the family.
Behind these floor to ceiling, fluted wood partitions lie the public spaces. The living room is dominated by a tribal-inspired, carved wood panel, set against a neutral palette of grey textured furnishings. This space is decked with metallic accents and luxe features like malachite topped side tables. In the adjoining formal dining space lie custom marble furniture, a dramatic chandelier and a vibrant piece by Suresh Kumar.
