An expansive family residence in Hyderabad where classical European detailing meets the warmth of Indian craft, layered through carved wood, gilded mirrors, and richly patterned upholstery.
The home opens with a panelled foyer anchored by a navy and gilt console, a tall gilded mirror, and a pair of damask wing chairs set against ivory wainscoting and a chequered marble floor. The formal living room layers a tufted sage settee, fringed armchairs, and a rose crystal chandelier under classical mouldings, while a second sitting room balances arched display cabinets, painted ceiling cove lighting, and a hand-knotted rug grounded by a carved Indo-classical bench. A grand dining room sits beside a stone fireplace, framed by tall arched windows, heavy damask drapery, and a wrought iron chandelier above a carved trestle table with floral tapestry chairs. The master bedroom turns quieter and more contemporary with a sculpted marble headboard wall, a low walnut bed, and warm cove lighting, while the spa-like bath leans into trellis wallpaper, a freestanding tub, and brass lanterns. A darker entertainment wing brings a panelled lounge with bar, billiards, and chess corners in deep charcoal and tan leather, alongside a home theatre dressed in walnut panelling, ruby glass chandelier, and gilt accents. Across the house, the palette moves between ivory, sage, oxblood, and walnut, creating rooms that feel formal yet unmistakably lived in.
