Space-saving Design Ideas from a Modern Home in Bangalore

Rich wooden flooring, a warm yellow wall and earthy stone cladding on the background wall create a welcoming ambience in the lovely lobby. Notice how it looks uncluttered and is full of positive energy. It can make a lasting impression on any guest. For any project, using mirrors or artworks can lend extra appeal to the entrance area. Mirrors especially can enhance the spacious feel, and a lovely collage can steal the show. Here, the multi-toned stone cladding achieves that.

The hardwood laminate flooring looks warm, cosy and inviting in the foyer. It is nicely complemented by the textured and stone-clad wall, which needs no other accent for décor.

Accommodated brilliantly in the corner, the tall shoe rack with its stone-finish surfaces, created using wallpaper, looks rustic and unique. The colours are warm and glow beautifully in the soft lighting. The interior of the cabinets has a rotating shoe rack for extra convenience. It can store everything from sandals and heels to sneakers and boots. 

Wooden flooring, minimalist designs and tasteful cove lighting have done wonders for the spacious living area. The wall and ceiling colours are muted for a serene vibe. Using designer wallpaper is also an excellent idea for living rooms for making a statement. From floral and geometric to abstract and solids, nowadays one can choose from a variety of patterns. A fashionable TV unit can be positioned against the wallpaper for maximum effect. For the false ceiling, pick from simple or elaborate designs in wood, glass or gypsum.

The solid wooden bookshelf is full of vintage charm and doesn’t take up much floor area. For a modern style room, one can go for something sleek and contemporary to maximise the vertical space and hold all the collectables. 

The sober colour of the laminates and the subtly stencilled glass doors make the crockery cabinet quite arresting. The embedded lights are attractive and showcase the beautiful items within the unit. Crockery cabinets come in a variety of styles, including wall-mounted, open shelf and modular, which are equipped with drawers to suit different needs. Some designs can also double up as home bar units, which can be customised with the inclusion of personalised niches and glamorous mirrored backsplashes. 

Rendered mostly in white, with a few touches of black, the modular kitchen is a lovely space. It is big and airy with ample lighting. Smooth and glossy handle-free cabinets ensure a minimalist look. The chic bar stools add a casual vibe to the kitchen island, and the appliances are all cutting-edge. Don’t miss how warm the wooden flooring looks! There is ample space to store ingredients, condiments, cleaning supplies and more. For a rustic touch, a few wicker drawer baskets can be added for holding the fresh fruits and vegetables.

Glossy white with sharp silver detailing, the sliding doors of the wardrobe grab attention instantly. The look is stylish and luxurious, and the sliding doors save floor space. A pull-out bed or sofa cum bed can be an excellent option if the bedroom is small.

This bedroom impresses with a wardrobe that has sliding doors with mirrored panels that bring functionality as well as glamour. The panels are alternately clear and fogged for a contemporary look. They double as a dressing mirror, eliminating the need to include a separate dressing table in the room. 

This small window seat is perfect for reading, dreaming or meditating. Bathed in natural light, it offers a place to sit comfortably and has storage space underneath. No corner has been wasted in the house, as we can see. Another idea for using a small area such as this would have been to install a small temple or mandir, especially compact or foldable ones. 

A long row of pretty planters in earthy and pastel shades make the balcony garden enticing. The colourful blooms freshen up the air and create a cheerful space for enjoying tea or chatting with loved ones. The balcony can be spruced up further by hanging acrylic paintings on the wall or by coating the flowerpots with bright-coloured paints.
