Prolific Indian designer Rajiv Saini has designed a home interior project in New Delhi, India. It was completed with the specification of a spacious, comfortable and lavish family home, and Saini has not failed to deliver in the slightest.
This very well balanced and nicely-executed interior has been adapted from the former houses interior, though Saini had to make a few notable changes to this on top of the complete transformation he initiated. The approximately 2500 square feet of space and 3 bedrooms were more than what the couple needed. The architect tore down a spare bedroom to make space for a grand master suite, which on one end (at the couple’s request) has a modern version of a traditional Indian ‘gadda’,which is essentially a large mattress to sit informally on and spend time together.
This is juxtaposed with the remaining rooms. Whereas the bedroom is mainly for privacy between the parents a living room with a compact dining area was created for them to entertain their personal friends on their floor. Large screens cut out of solid blocks of black granite separate this area from the rest of the family house, and enhance the feeling of modern living with the unique facades. A large master bath and dresser has been fitted out in onyx and a beige granitalo marble, while the living and bedroom have teak wood and a deep brown Spanish marble. These various materials add a further depth and dimension to this home, as Saini has had a refined palette to work from he has been able to increase the luxurious feel.
A guest suite has a bed with a large upholstered bed surround, placed against a black marble ledge, so as to offer views of the gardens.
