About The Solid House
A Home Tailored to Personalities
Designed for a family of four, each room resonates with individual personalities and lifestyles. Here, modern elements and artistic flair converge. Bold colors, textured tiles, contemporary artwork, and touches of opulence in select furnishings all combine. Warm tones and distinct wall claddings, whether stone, marble, or tile, anchor every room’s aesthetic, creating captivating focal points.
Entrance and Living Spaces
Upon entry, a custom cylindrical niche greets you. Its longer sides contrast with smaller sizes, unified by a two-tone textured paint finish. This intricate detail seamlessly leads to the living area, presenting a blend of diverse materials and colors, producing an earthy harmony.
Statuario tiles, with their subtle grooves, set the stage. A plush sofa in warm plum leather beckons, juxtaposed against a rose-pink wall panel and TV unit, further elevated by gold accents. Strategically placed accent chairs introduce grace and distinction. A minimalist TV unit provides understated elegance, while the furniture marries stone and ceramic elements harmoniously. The dining area, meanwhile, boasts a sleek table with brushed gold legs and a black marble top (contrasting a beige textured backdrop), crowned by a custom gold-finished mirror.
The Master Retreat
Step into the master bedroom, where aqua blue melds with the natural allure of sandstone. Its walls, painted in a gentle aqua hue, exude coastal tranquility. Rajasthan-sourced sandstone, in a hefty 75mm (2.95 inches) thickness, adds rustic charm and a textured tableau. This stone’s warm tones and unique patterns make it an artistic centerpiece.
The room’s custom bed mirrors the overarching design, blending seamlessly with the color scheme and sandstone’s beauty. In summary, the master bedroom blends soothing blues with the depth of natural sandstone, crowned by bespoke furniture that offers style and function.
A Modern Haven for the Son
Marble-clad walls define the son’s bedroom, punctuated with trims for added flair. A bold black bed stands as the room’s statement piece, oozing modern sophistication. To support his reading passion, an attached study table to a bookshelf offers the ideal nook. This dedicated workspace, possibly boasting generous storage, promises a tidy space. Furthermore, a TV unit with fluted shutters, set against a marble backdrop, elegantly houses media essentials.
A Symphony of Textures and Tones
This apartment weaves a tapestry of stones, ceramic tiles, and sandstone. Rich plum tones inject sophistication, while aqua refreshes the senses. Timeless black and white hues introduce enduring elegance. Above all, the diverse textures and patterns impart depth and individuality to every space, culminating in a contemporary yet natural haven.
