Known for its supreme tone of design, Gurgaon-based interior design firm, MADS Creations’ latest project blends its signature style with elegant and clean design. A villa in Gurgaon, the project draws on the owner’s individualistic style complemented by Meenu Aggarwal’s expertise.
The project is a 3,210 sq ft three-bedroom villa, spread over three levels, each of which expresses a distinct mood based on functionality. Despite their differences, it’s the rich details, luxurious furnishings and unique design elements that unite each of these spaces.
Starting downstairs, the basement features a chic lounge and a stunning bar area with a home theatre. The home theater itself has a dark personality with dark brown walls. Each wall has a completely different design, with a fluted patterned fabric panel on one side and wallpaper on the other, while the space behind the TV has a wooden paneling with a laminate finish. Dark hardwood floors and dim lighting contrast with plush, and oversized bright blue loungers make for a comfortable watch.
The bar area, another highlight of the basement, is mounted on a lightly raised platform and the bar itself is placed at an angle to add to the uniqueness of the space. The stone top bar unit gets a laminate finish, set against beautifully lit wall cabinets covered in laminate and glass shutters. Gold finish metal strips on the wooden front of the bar, metal bar chairs and metal inlays on the marble floor complement the olive green and brown colors of the space to create a jazz bar-like atmosphere. The fabric on the bar chair shimmers in the seating light, complementing it perfectly. The mirrored ceiling reflects the spectacle adding to the drama.
Adding texture to the home’s dramatic ambiance, the bar lounge is covered in fluted wallpaper with a plush light gray sofa and vibrant orange accent chairs. Light contours, soft colors and comfortable seating create an overall relaxing atmosphere.
The ground floor houses the living and dining area, as well as guest bedrooms, while the first floor is set aside for private spaces such as the family lounge, master bedroom and son’s bedroom. The dining space portrays an elegant, classic-contemporary theme with a predominantly white background with ornate moldings along the walls and a gypsum board false ceiling. Geometry themes add a break to largely classic elements, such as dining table geometric bases, geometric-shaped lighting or exclusive, custom-sourced, metal chandeliers. The chandelier, sleek as ever, serves as a screen between the dining and living areas.
The living area has to be one of the most luxurious spaces in the house thanks to its rich character – multiple laminate panelling, wood tones and gold metallic elements add a warm, yet rich note. Although mostly neutral, the living area gets a pop of color from blue jewel-toned couches, artwork and other decor pieces that add grandeur.
The guest bedroom gets a calm, neutral theme in cream, tan and white. This room also has a laminate wall paneling with metal strips on the wall behind the bed, while the other walls are covered in wallpaper. A laminated structure with fabric seats in the bay window creates a magnificent view for guests.
The first floor has a family lounge, master bedroom and son’s room. The Family Lounge is another place that focuses on a relaxing atmosphere. It has a gypsum false ceiling with textured wallpaper in a light shade while vibrant toned seating adds an attractive pop of color.
Much like the guest bedroom, the master bedroom also has a simple design. The wooden molding on the walls with a paint finish in a light tone, and the wooden floor set a calm and warm note. A high-back wood carved chair with footrests in striking striped fabric adds a bolder touch to the neutral space.
