When MG Alkesh and his wife, Pooja Alkesh decided to get their house designed professionally, they knew exactly what they wanted. A simple contemporary house, with not a lot of jazz and with clean finishes. But they also wanted pops of colour in the bedrooms to reflect their personalities.

#1: A breezy seating area

For their living room, they envisioned a sea theme. The most striking feature of this room is the turquoise sofa that sits in front of light yellow walls. They wanted sleek furniture for the main room. Look around and you will notice a champagne and grey coloured TV unit and a complementing shoe cabinet as well. As soon as you enter, behind the dining table, they use a pop of blue to show their love for all things sea.

#2: Elegance defined

If you ask them what their favourite corner of the house is, they would say it’s their pooja room. For their pooja room, the walls light up in a dark red colour. It also has a white jaali at the back for that extra touch of elegance.

#3: No blurred lines

They were especially particular about the design of their kitchen. The brief was to have clear simple lines. They picked a modern navy blue colour for their cabinets and drawers. The rest of the kitchen was focussed in a gentle cream color and textures were only used for the wallpaper. They used a navy blue and sparkly white kitchen membrane shutter, a Kalinga countertop, and a built-in microwave to save space.

#4: Splash of colour

They wanted to experiment with colours for the bedrooms. For the master bedroom, they picked a beautiful bold orchid theme. The bright purple headboard is probably the first thing that would catch anyone’s eyes in the bedroom. The cream wallpaper with gold tones promotes a well-lit room with loads of space and ventilation. The wardrobes have a laminate finish and are in slate as well as champagne colour.

#5: Enhance with green

For the guest bedroom, they wanted something in contrast to white and they picked green. The bottle green wallpaper with a touch of yellow helped to enhance the appearance of the room. The wardrobes sport a lovely green colour, too. The study table and storage spaces have been topped off in white.
