Homular interior renovation was for four the couple has two little boys and they were really looking for more space they another house that would give them everything they wanted and so they decided to renovate. versus move they already had an attic that was a little bit of a makeshift bedroom with a big walk out deck. so it really didn't function no one with little kids uses a third floor deck because they're always downstairs and so they brought us on to bump out. the entire third floor of the house to make a beautiful master suite. when you walk down the hall of this third floor addition the first thing you see are those spectacular doors. they were just an idea from the very beginning they are the piezo resistance the pocket doors are workbench here in Delhi the doors are painted a beautiful blue they have a curved detail.
so it's an arch it feels a little bit reminiscent of a church door or something more traditional and then you open these beautiful doors to a very soft and soothing master bedroom the bedroom is so lovely it worked out even better. than i could have imagined there's a light soft blue grass cloth which really steals the show grass cloth is a really nice touch too because it has a little bit of sound absorption it has texture to it you don't need to add a lot of art to the walls. when you have a beautiful grass cloth the white oak floors are a lovely canvas to the layering that goes on top. so there's the custom rug that we had made it's a really great designer trick you can take a broad loom this one was from studio 321b here in delhi and they measured the space for us had it cut to the size that we needed and then bound in that contrasting black tape. what is that it's a lot more affordable than finding an area rug and it fits the space perfectly the four poster bed is very modern but that's what helps keep the space from feeling too traditional this bed is so unbelievably solid it's a metal frame. it was made here locally and it just elevates the eye right up to the top. it's really quite stunning i had this vision of a four poster but i knew that the ceilings were really only eight feet tall. so in order to have that four poster feeling without it dominating i decided to paint the black on the bottom and then paint the white on the top.
So by having the white on the top it feels a little bit lighter and a little less oppressive and it works in the space the bathroom that we designed is one of parts of the renault it's really bright and airy it felt really dark when we were mid renault. so we decided to add a skylight and it was the best part of the bathroom. it adds tons of natural light you don't even need the lights on in the middle of the day the vanity is a really great example of sustainability in design. so we are trying to be a little bit more mindful by using locally sourced wood to build the vanity it has less of a carbon footprint and it's also beautiful and extremely durable the shower is amazing i'm super jealous one of those in house it's a walk-in curbless shower we added the valve so when you turn on the shower you don't have to get wet because in these old delhi houses as you know sometimes it takes a while for the water to heat up so that's kind of a nice bonus feature there's of course in-floor heating throughout the bathroom and there's little tucked away storage in the corner beneath the dormer the floor tile is another part of the bathroom that it's from creekside tile. it is a beautiful mosaic what's nice is it has anti-slip properties because there's a lot of grout it's a great choice to put in a shower for young and old that way you don't have to worry about slipping when you have wet feet it also fits perfectly with the cohesive design of the third floor the white and the black they're classic but they have a little bit of a modern edge in their shape we did this little work nook for our clients when they have to work late or work from home and i wanted to give it a little bit of personality. it was important to me that this work desk space not be in their main bedroom the layout just lent itself to having it just outside the doors which was a bonus and then we added really pretty wallpaper just to get a little bit of personality and it's soothing it's soft it's a little bit feminine but how the feminine wallpaper contrasts with the more modern and masculine desk because this is a relatively small Delhi home it's only about 18 feet wide it's a semi-detached it could potentially feel really closed in and tight for space. so our goal with doing space planning on this floor was to make it feel bigger than it is and i really think we achieved that i think we got really lucky with the length of the house we managed to fit in all of the things that we needed. so we got the bathroom we got a walk-in master closet and an office nook as well as a really nice size bedroom to fit a king-size bed also by doing the white oak floors keeping the paint relatively neutral and doing really big broad windows at the back to let in all the light it makes it feel so much bigger than it really is you.
