Picture walking into a meticulously curated space where every detail contributes to a narrative of coherence, practicality, and aesthetic splendour. This 1400 Sq.ft 3BHK apartment, located in a freshly built residential complex in Dahod, epitomizes sophisticated interior design. Emphasizing material selection, colour schemes, and spatial harmony, the DIB Collaborative design team has created an environment that resonates with both designers and interior aficionados.

The design brief for this apartment was clear: transform it into a sanctuary that evokes the tranquillity of a villa. The goal was to create a home where relaxation comes naturally, providing a refuge from the outside world's chaos. To achieve this, a warm wooden aesthetic was chosen, punctuated with subtle hints of vibrant colours to add depth and interest.

The living room is a study in balancing different design elements. A lounger sofa essential for offering ample seating for comfort, relaxation and conversations is curated behind the customized wallpaper on the left wall creating a focal point, harmonizing with the warmth of the wooden veneer and the muted grey flooring. 

Additionally, the design needed to honour the portraits of two holy figures significant to the occupants. This requirement led to the creation of a unique accent wall where the portraits are seamlessly framed into the arched niches, harmonizing with the overarching theme of arches throughout the space. This thoughtful design not only enhances the room's aesthetic but also imbues it with personal significance, making it a true retreat for the residents. The royal blue media console also cleverly organizes all cabling for the stereo system and TV. 

The console’s blue hue contrasts sharply, injecting vibrancy into the room. The custom-built accent table with wooden legs and finished in steel grey PU paint sitting on a well-crafted Turkish rug, serves as an eye-catching centrepiece while offering additional storage. The recurring use of arches throughout the living space and foyer area ties the entire space together, creating a unified design language.

The open kitchen is both functional and visually appealing. Featuring a white quartz countertop and marble figure ceramic tiles, the kitchen exudes modern elegance. The combination of blue hues and wooden finish laminates on cabinets adds a touch of contemporary charm, while a centrally planned ledge acting as a breakfast counter serves as an ideal separator between the kitchen and living space. This layout not only facilitates easy interaction between the two areas but also maintains a sense of openness and flow.
