We absolutely love a home that calls for a magnificent and large scale modern villa design. Simply because there is always a sea of design ideas to draw inspiration from. Just like this home tour that features a Mumbai residence that is one of a kind. Although, the maximum city has minimum space, this home beats the odds. Find out why!

Residing here are Irshad Ahmed, his wife Tasleem and their three kids. They moved into this 4,500 sq ft in the suburbs of Eastern Mumbai in 2019 and their new home was fully furnished and had complete interiors. However, the family wanted interiors that are to their liking and decided to redesign every nook and corner with Livspace Mumbai after a recommendation from a friend.

Designer Vishakha Dsouza’s years of experience and eye for design was the perfect match for this project. Moreover, the focus of this design is the abundant use of marble in almost every room and high-quality custom made furniture.
