Mumbai Living Room: Sangtani Home

A calm, layered living room in Mumbai — soft neutrals, deep greens and a teal shrine niche wrapped around a family's everyday rituals of rest, tea and conversation.

Exploration

On Site
Built & Delivered

The on-site marker sketch translated into a lived-in living room — TV wall, seating and shrine niche resolved as one calm, layered composition.

Outcome

Project Conclusions

Family feedback
It finally feels like our own living room — warm, calm and unmistakably ours.
Space transformation
From an empty developer shell into a layered family living room.
User experience
A clear rhythm between TV evenings, tea rituals and family dining.
Design intent
Neutral shell warmed with deep greens, oak and one strong teal niche.
Styling impact
Botanical mural, curved joinery and warm lighting soften the modern apartment.
Biggest Challenge

Designing one living room that had to hold TV evenings, family dining, a shrine moment and daily arrivals — without feeling like separate rooms glued together.

Key Learning

In a single-room brief, one strong colour gesture — the teal shrine niche — can quietly organise the entire space around it.
