This 1400 sq. ft. apartment in Pune is designed for a young IT professional couple. Having travelled extensively, they drew inspiration from their experiences abroad and sought to create a clean, clutter-free, and minimalist living space.

The result is a perfect blend of practicality and style, designed to suit the needs of a small family.

First and last thing you see when you enter house is rich blue painted main door with black frame. Entire setup at entrance is dramatic and eye-catchy.

Upon entering, one is greeted by an open-plan living area that seamlessly integrates the living room, dining area, and kitchen.

This layout not only enhances the sense of spaciousness but also made interaction easy.

Colour pallet is mostly white with accents in blue, aqua and black. The kitchen was completely redone, with a breakfast counter added by removing a wall between living room and kitchen.

A single wall is dedicated to storage, incorporating a tall pantry, built-in oven, refrigerator, sink, and water purifier for a seamless and efficient design.

The apartment has three bedrooms. All three bedroom offers unique design. The master bedroom features a striking stone-clad wall and minimalistic design in matte beige.

The kids’ bedroom is pastel blue with kid-friendly furniture. The guest bedroom doubles as a workspace, with functional storage. This one is a simple, classic design.
