Nestled high on the 55th floor of a skyscraper in the heart of Mumbai, Casa Bohemia is a four-bedroom apartment for a couple and their teenage kids. The clients were keen on having an organic home that was uncoordinated, grounded in a bohemian style that seems incidental yet is aesthetically pleasing. Designed as an honest and delightful yet mismatched visual palette that is curated to disrupt the 'coordinated synchrony' of elements, this residence defines disproportionate harmony.

The entrance to the apartment opens into the living cum dining space with a bohemian look that is enticed with luxury. Opulent and white, the space is a conscious curation of mismatched pieces that together create a home filled with warmth and cheer. Adding warmth to the alabaster tone is rattan, which subtly binds the pieces of furniture together, however not stylistically. Grounded in little details, the home displays a stunning selection of lighting fixtures, all peculiar and statement pieces. Like, the overlapping circular track light setting in the ceiling and the floor-mounted metal light mural juxtapose themselves with the chandelier in the dining space. However, the star of the show is the hard-to-miss wall mural. With a monochromatic palette, the flowers and butterfly-laden piece of art adds charisma and character to the space.

While the common spaces have a general pattern of a bohemian asynchrony, the bedrooms are personalised to the occupant's liking and colour preferences. The master bedroom is a theatrical display of an earthy red that takes up the ceiling and defragments the wainscoting panels clad on the walls. The furniture is kept minimalistic with a bed with a rattan finished bed-back, side tables and a single lounge chair in rust over wooden flooring. The kids' bedrooms take experimental forms from their individual likings, artistically incorporating their preferences while still leaving room for incremental additions for the future.
