Even the first impression of this interior design for Olympia Jayanthi Residences flat gives out a timeless appearance and an elegant vibe. Let’s take a tour of the house, one room at a time.
The Modest Yet Rich Foyer Design
There are four main distinct characteristics that set the interior design for Olympia Jayanthi Residences flat apart: the use of light colours, wooden finishes, minimal false ceiling designs and the old family heirlooms. Take a look at this foyer design, which exemplifies all these characteristics.
The grey brick wallpaper and the wooden drawers give the space an earthy texture. And the metallic heirloom pieces that have been in the family for five generations enhance the visual textures inherent in the interior design. The false ceiling, on the other hand, is modern and helps add layered lighting to this foyer in Olympia Jayanthi Residences flat design in Chennai.
The Living Room Interior Design for Olympia Jayanthi Residences Flat
Since the family already had a sofa set they wanted to use in their living room, Meljin chose a light and neutral colour scheme for the rest of the interior design for Olympia Jayanthi Residences flat. Such colours match with any kind of furniture — traditional or modern, wooden or art deco, minimal or maximal.
As we move into the living room, the number of things to notice and appreciate only increases. The wooden elements—which take a back seat here—emphasise the visibility of light colours in the room due to their high colour contrast with white surfaces.
The Multi-Functional Dining Area Interior Design
The carpentry in the dining area is also in accordance with the prevailing vintage aesthetics of this Olympia Jayanthi Residence flat design in Chennai. The clean white, wooden cabinets store crockery, showpieces and also doubles up as a minimal pooja room for the family. Apart from the furniture, the false ceiling unites the living and dining areas for the Chennai home.
The pooja unit has shutters to offer privacy to the gods. For the display shelves, the Chennai family chose a combination of open shelves and two distinct types of closed shelves, one with glass shutters and the other with wooden shutters, to suit their diversified storage needs. The countertop continues the contrast prevalent in the living room to keep consistency of design.
The Bright and Airy Modular Kitchen Design
The thing with modular kitchens is that they are highly efficient, designed to support the workflow of the user. The best part is how they can be quickly installed. This entire project, in fact, was handed over in 50 days. Everyone in the Hariharakrishnan family got involved in the process of this Olympia Jayanthi Residences flat interior design. If you’re wondering how, keep reading!
Both Hariharakrishnan and Roopa thought that their kitchen could improve if it received more natural light. So, our designer Meljin proposed to hack the wall and let natural light from the living room flood their kitchen. Also, during the Livspace site survey, our executives noticed that the building provided a piped gas system and informed the family of it. Upon their advice, Hariharakrishnan quickly got the copper piping installed to avoid the hassle of using gas cylinders.

Now, let’s take a look at the kitchen colour scheme. The wooden texture of the kitchen decor brings warmth whereas the white makes the space appear bright and gives it an airy vibe. The black countertop, the one that’s also in the crockery unit, adds a pleasing contrast to the neutral colour scheme of this Olympia Jayanthi Residences flat design in Chennai.
The Bedroom Interior Design for Olympia Jayanthi Residences Flat
While designing the children’s bedrooms, the main priority was to utilise the space and focus on the study tables. It is the simplicity that prevails in the bedrooms that make the home decor for Olympia Jayanthi Residences flat a sober and pleasing one.
The Neutral Toned Master Bedroom
The master bedroom of this Olympia Jayanthi Residences flat design in Chennai is minimal in nature. Its highlight — a clean and spacious room with colour coordinated furniture. For instance, the TV unit is minimal and economical in design. So is the accent wall that has a plain, earthy colour wall paint. The paint helps in bringing out the wooden colour of the furniture. The wardrobe, on the other hand, is heavy and maximal in nature. The lofts are L-shaped and help in maximising the storage space in the room.
The Calming Vibe of the Children’s Bedrooms
As the priority of the children’s bedrooms was to utilise the space efficiently, the designs of both the bedrooms are spacious and have custom study tables to suit their needs. Hariharakirishnan’s children were actively involved in the design process. They explained to Meljin all the specific ways in which they use their rooms and the furniture in them. For instance, Hariharakrishnan’s son required a larger wall cabinet above his desk so that he could access his essentials instantly. So, keeping that in mind, the cabinet is low hanging above the table but supports the son’s workflow.
