A young couple put their faith in Neev Design Studio for their dream home. Trusting our experience, they gave us a free hand to design an exquisite home for their daughter,parents and themselves. A house that is warm and comforting, keeping up with the modern outlook. We were provided with the essential requirements. The specifics were left on our creative team at Neev Design Studio to curate a space that translates a house into a home, a unique environment that is welcoming and comforting at the same time.

USP :

Each and every piece of furniture we see here is custom made by Neev Design Studio.

Entrance area & vestibule:

As you enter the home, you are greeted by a warm and welcoming entrance area. The walls are adorned with wooden panelling that creates a cosy and rustic atmosphere. The panelling also features boxes of wood that hold various plants, adding a touch of greenery and freshness to the space. On the wall, you can see a customised name plate made of brass and acrylic that displays the family name in elegant letters. The name plate glows softly in the light, creating a welcoming effect. The safety door is made of wood and has a grill design made of brass that adds security and style to the entrance. The main door is made of solid wood and has a unique door handle that combines brass and wood in a harmonious way. The vestibule area has a console table made with wood and coated with pu colour that matches the panelling.The table has a sleek and modern design that contrasts with the rustic elements of the entrance area. The console table also acts as a shoe rack, providing functionality and beauty. On the table, there is a human-like sculpture that is inviting in nature, as if welcoming you to the home. The sculpture holds out its hand in a friendly gesture, inviting you to join the family.

Living room: 

The living room design with pastel shades is a stunning example of how to create a modern and cosy space. Where every element is carefully chosen and crafted. The turquoise colour in partition wall adds a splash of freshness, while the minimal interior keeps the room clutter-free and spacious. The partition is designed in a geometric shape that adds some visual interest and separates the living area from the dining area. The major source of light comes from the balcony, which also offers a beautiful view of the outdoors. The green plant brings some nature and life into the room, while the cosy sitting on the sofa with throw and pillows invites relaxation and comfort. The signature sitting chair is a stylish and comfortable piece that stands out with its unique shape and colour.  Two centre tables made of wood and brass catch the eye with their elegant design and lotus motif inlaid on the statuario marble top.The TV unit is made of teak wood and brass, which adds some warmth and elegance to the space.

This way, the family can always feel the presence and protection of the deities.The door of the mandir is designed with teakwood, glass and brass, creating a beautiful contrast.
