This house is situated in the heart of a bustling city. The owners have lived here for over 40 years, and wanted to keep the lived-in essence, while still allowing for modern-ish touches for the sake of their grandchildren’s joy. They have a much grander space in the house for entertaining guests. This is their private lounge, one where they love to enjoy their morning chai. The sofa against the wall adorned with the tapestry is used as a day-bed by the gentleman, where he loves to park himself and enjoys listening to music. The lady has a custom-made rocking chair (not in picture) which faces outwards. Keeping in mind their journey of life, and the needs of this room, we retained only a few trinkets along with a couple of plants. The poufs were reupholstered in vintage fabric found in thrift stores. The mustard hues of the three sofas nicely blur the lines between vintage and modern, passing easily as a member of either era. The rug is new, a nod to the grandchildren’s desire for something ‘funky’ in the décor. Removing the backs of two of the sofas helped open up the space, making it visually brighter and giving it a younger appeal. The sofa-backs were repurposed into room divider screens for the huge entryway that leads into this room. The arched windows add an element of historical charm to the room. The overhead rattan lamp was brought from India over fifteen years ago, and its warm hues continue to bathe the room in ambient light. One can imagine spending a lazy Sunday afternoon in this room.
