Rahul Tuljapurkar’s 1700 sq.ft Apartment at Bandra in suburban Mumbai ,which used to be a bachelor pad. the residents was mostly utilized to play games, and what movies, entertain guest and unwind; while another 3 BHK apartment in same building ( on the 5th floor) was used by his parents , wife and sister. However, when Rahul and his wife, Reema , were expecting a baby , the couple decided to refurbish the bachelor pad and move into a new home. Enter Rohit Bhoite a young and promising interior designer who took up the job to design the space in-sync with the needs of the clients. Having travelled extensively, the clients had their hearts set on European sensibilities. After a few rounds of discussion, the clients and the designer decided upon a Scandinavian- inspired theme. Renowned for their simplicity , utility ,and beauty, Scandinavian homes have a pure, parsec-back style packed with functionality, clean lines, flawless craftsmanship and understand elegance. The use of light is considered to be extremely important here and the houses are characterized by the use of earthy muted tones distinct materials and minimal ornamentation. But there was a challenge. Rahul wanted a space that would double up as an entertainment zone too. His wife on the other hand, wanted a stylish set-up. However with the baby due in 7 months, there was also a time restriction at play, and had to be a quick renovation project. Rohit's plan for the house was well fleshed out for the living room. When it came to the color palette white was the predominant hue (on the walls and the flooring) with accent colors appearing in furniture and accessories. Artificial marble cutouts were used to create an interesting pattern on the living and dining area floors. Grey grouting has been done to achieve a shimmery effect on the flooring as well. Keeping with the Scandinavian theme, the designer has used statement pieces from Italy, Turkey and Australia in the living with wood at its base. The Italian tan leather sofa and the plush chairs create a warm atmosphere, while the huge television on the wall and the state-of-the-art speaker that looks like a dish antenna is proof of Rahul's love for sports and movies. The designer made sure he fitted task, mood and the accent lights in the room to suite various occasions. While doing up the space, the balcony( which extends from the living room to the bedroom) looks upon an elevated garden of another building. by placing plants in the balcony as well as the living area, Rohit created layers of green to bring the garden into the space and make it one. The dining area too has a similar language. The grey linen wallpaper continues down the length of a wall in the dining room creating symmetry between the two spaces. The custom made wooden fan, table and chairs add to the warm yet simplistic vibe of the space. Accent pieces like a mustard color chair and bench at the dining table monotony of the area. Rohit explains further, " Since this is family of three , we kept just 4 chairs. The kitchen is right behind the bench (which comes in handy too accommodate guests ) and we kept it there for easy flow of food" As for the personal area, The master bedroom, Access to the dining space, sports Australian white marble flooring "we tried to create a fading effect through flooring, from the dining to the bedroom" says Rohit. There is a comfy walnut wood bed with a leather-padded headrest and a full-length wardrobe, the absolute highlight, are bespoke elements created especially for the clients. One wardrobe here is made using four different veneers to create a distinct look; while an exclusive white wardrobe in one corner of the room was designed to accommodate the Missus bags and accessories. The jute and the silver textured wallpaper, Tom Dixon copper lights, stark red lounger and Superman artwork, all together create an interesting composition, merging different styles into one cohesive whole. While the living and master bedrooms were an amalgamation of minute details, the child's bedroom was kept minimal. here, the media unit can double up as a study desk with storage space in the future as per requirement. The same holds true for the guest bedroom where few decor changes are there.

The Allen Architettura studio has followed the renovation and relooking project of a bathroom in a private apartment in the province of Bergamo, changing completely its aspect and making it functional, harmonious and comfortable. The room was thought as a minimal and essential place, where walls and floor are entirely covered by white mosaic. Only the wood washbasin cabinet, designed by the architects and handcrafted made, and the ochre velvet curtain, which hides the window and gives to the room a scenographic touch, give to the room a note of colour. The shower, divided from the rest of the bathroom by a glass sheet, completes the background scene with a niche, where you can sit and relax taking a shower inclining the shower head or put the towels. For the taps and fittings, after a careful research, was chosen the elegant simplicity of the Reverso series by Ritmonio: the chrome finishing exalts the mixers’ pure lines, characterized by a curved spout. Particularly, for the basin mixer was chosen the built-in model, placed in a precise cut of a mirror, which goes from the washbasin cabinet to the ceiling.

Today, these buildings have been replaced by skyscrapers and modern apartments, with the few that remain bearing witness to New York’s history of architecture. In this rare and charming context, three historical mansions dating back to the end of the nineteenth century, designed by the architect Charles Pierrepont Henry Gilbert, have been renovated and converted into seven sophisticated apartments designed by Barry Rice Architect PLLC. GD Arredamenti has fitted out the kitchen area and bathroom with completely custom-built furniture inspired by the Neo-Gothic style of this elegant home. Project: Barry Rice Architects

Inspired by Scandinavian style, the design incorporates clean lines and minimal decoration, set against soaring ceilings and walls of windows. These features are all enhanced by warm finishes, tactile textures, statement light fixtures, and carefully selected art pieces.

Each bedroom was crafted to reflect a unique character, featuring elegant wallpapers, decor, and luxurious furnishings. The primary bathroom was characterized by dark enveloping walls and floors, accentuated by teak, and included a walk-through dual shower, overhead rain showers, and a natural stone soaking tub.
