Design Ideas For a Luxurious Indian Villa
Designs, that set your villa apart and impart it with the personal touch.
A villa is the epitome of Indian luxury, with its characteristic huge rooms and general air of splendour. How you design it, however, is what sets your villa apart and imparts it with the personal touch. While the sheer availability of space leaves you a lot of room to play with the design (literally), this can also prove to be intimidating. There are so many things that you can do with the space, that it could potentially leave you with decision fatigue.
Here are a few ideas for designing the perfect luxurious yet functional Indian villa, making use of the abundant space at your disposal:
Designing a Majestic Living Room
An opulent design for the living room of your villa is perfect, given the typically spacious and high-ceilinged nature of villas. Of course, luxury does not mean you must compromise on practicality. Here, we will discuss ways in which you can create a living room that perfectly harmonizes functionality and magnificence.
A living room needs to prioritize seating. In keeping with the availability of space in villas, sectional sofas or a lounge are perfect. This maintains a sense of grandeur while providing you with ample seating space. You can have a luxurious chandelier to highlight the height of your ceiling and to create a focal point.
Go for rich colours and textured wallpapers to enhance the elegant opulence of the space. Villas tend to have huge walls, which gives you the freedom to deck up your walls without making them look cramped. Think expansive paintings with ornate frames, installation art, and elaborate photo walls!
Designing a Cozy Yet Elegant Bedroom
Bedrooms are meant to be warm and inviting, but that doesn’t mean you need to compromise on grandeur. That opulence is impersonal is a complete myth. You can elevate your bedroom design while retaining the comfort factor that a bedroom demands. When designing a bedroom for your villa, make use of the expansive space at your disposal and get a King size or Emperor size bed.
You can separate the zone by including an elevated platform for your bed, since the height of your ceiling is high enough to not be a problem. A cushioned or quilted padded headboard lends comfort as well as elegance. You can maintain a neutral beige or cream colour palette for an understated air of luxury, or opt for rich inviting colours like burgundy, wine, olive, russet, etc. on accent walls.
Consider plush and cozy upholstery, in tune with the colour palette of your bedroom.
Depending on your approach to design, whether it is grandeur & ornate, or a sleek, modern aesthetic, you can add on compatible details to enhance the vibe of your bedroom to reflect your personality.
How to Do Up the Spaces Between Rooms?
In a villa, it is quite natural for there to be a lot of open areas interspersing the various rooms. You can design these spaces so each nook reflects a facet of your personality and serves a different purpose at the same time.
For instance, you can do up a nook to be a space for the youngsters in the family to hang out. In this case, the decor should be fun and peppy, reflecting the vibrance of their age and lifestyle. You can set up a casual work-from-home setup in a different corner which gets sufficient light and is also relatively quiet.
You can have a gallery displaying your art collection or photographs in a corner, with a bench for your guests to sit on and appreciate your collection.
Apart from the relatively formal vibe of a dining room or living room when hosting guests, a casual chill spot would be the perfect way to utilize an available corner. Think, a high table and a few industrial high-raised chairs- perfect for enjoying a couple of drinks or brunch with close friends, isn’t it?
These are some ideas you can explore when designing your opulent villa. The design possibilities are truly endless, when you have so much space at your disposal. The key to doing up your villa cohesively, is having a clear vision of what you want your space to look like, and a coherent plan in mind when executing it.
