#2: Nothing But a Massive Makeover for This 25-Year-Old Home in Gurgaon
At first glance, would you be able to guess that this home is 25 years old? Before the house renovation, Dr Pallavi and Dr Aashish’s 4BHK in Gurgaon was quite dark and unwelcoming. Like most of us, they wanted a warm and happy vibe in their home, along with ample storage and easy-to-maintain interiors.
With the help of some extensive civil work, designer Nilisha Keshri created the doctor couple’s dream home! A cute indoor garden near the main entrance, tons of closed kitchen cabinetry, a walk-in closet, and a balcony converted into a study were a few things that went into this old house renovation. Given the extent of changes, this home remodelling project certainly is one for the books!
Pro Tip: If you want to create a unique space for decor, consider using recessed niches in your living room wall. The recessed niches in the living room are decorated with spotlights to help throw focus on decor items and awards.
#3: A Unique and Modern Layout for a Basic 20-Year-Old Kitchen
Contemporary interiors are all the rage, and even extend as far as your kitchen design! The same way, Nitya and Kamlesh Tejwani wanted their 20-year-old kitchen to look sleek, clutter-free and contemporary. However, there were two challenges for our designer, Ashwini Gokhale. The tricky trapezium shape of the kitchen, and the Tejwanis’ requirement for plenty of storage without compromising on a light look.
Despite the challenges, Ashwini was able to overcome them by focusing on a linear and uniform look. She trimmed the modules so that the kitchen would have some extra counter space, especially around the sink area. From the elegant monochromatic colour palette to the variety of storage modules, every aspect of this renovation is stunning!
