Step inside this warm and inviting Mumbai family home, featured in Architectural Digest.
The interior is layered with texture, using unique pieces from
around the world including a selection of furniture and lighting
from Timothy Oulton's gallery at Tarun Vadehra Interiors in New
Delhi.
The clients approached Khushboo and Kunal Khandelwal,
co-founders of architecture and interior design practice Design Inc
to design a home where old coalesces with new.
THE OWNERS SHARED A POETIC BRIEF DESCRIBING WHAT THEY WANTED
Khushboo says, "This Mumbai residence was a labour of love and a
collaboration between the owners and us. It is a space where art,
accessories, light and texture, all overlap with the distinct
design flavours of a bygone era. This home is vintage yet modern."
Kunal adds, "The clients are a well-respected, well-travelled,
well-read business family from South Mumbai. They are fond of
collecting vintage artefacts. The owners shared a poetic brief
describing what they wanted for their home-a space that pays homage
to old and new memories and where each element tells a story."
Timothy Oulton's Iris sconce lights welcome guests at the
entrance door, inspired by submarine portholes and the famous story
of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
Inside, the walls and flooring are a mix of warm timber and
exposed red brick, with multiple windows flooding the apartment
with light and boasting views of the lush greenery outside.
A SPACE WHERE ART, ACCESSORIES, LIGHT AND TEXTURE, ALL OVERLAP WITH THE DISTINCT DESIGN FLAVOURS OF A BYGONE ERA.
The living room is anchored by two facing Westminster
Button sofas, a classic Chesterfield-style sofa with deep
hand-tufting and hand-distressed leather. A Globetrekker
coffee table in Aero metal is an industrial take on vintage
trunks, with Paris
leather trunk side tables harking back to the romance of long,
luxurious sea voyages. A brass Inception mirror hangs
on the exposed brick wall, creating a portal of endless lights
inspired by infinity mirrors from the 1970s.
A vintage wooden bar creates an inviting entertaining area, with
a Timothy Oulton Globetrekker side table and an eclectic range of
collectibles adorning the wall, including two acoustic guitars.
This beautifully layered home is the perfect backdrop to both relax
with family and to enjoy a night in with friends.
