DLF Capital Greens: Elevating the Luxury Quotient
The predominantly soft pastel palette of the walls diffuses the golden accents to create a luxe environment.
Modern luxury has many shades, but the one preferred by Meenu Agarwal of MADS Creations is steeped in luxury, gold accents and rich details. This sprawling home at DLF Capital Greens, Delhi, is a testimony to that. The owners of this home had found Meenu’s work on Google mighty andimpressed with her signature style, hence decided that it was best suited for their dream home. Their plan included combining two apartments of 3,500 sqft area, each facing the other on the same floor, to create a luxurious home for themselves.
So, Meenu turned lift lobby into the connecting foyer between the two homes. The foyer was designed with a statement console, vibrant artwork and a colourful chandelier. Each home had four bedrooms and a servant room. Meenu combined and converted a few rooms to create a spacious master bedroom with a lounge, a formal dining room and a larger kitchen for the family of four – a couple with two teenage children.
A bedroom in one of the apartments was converted into a formal dining area on a raised platform with marble inlay flooring. The adjoining bathroom was turned into a gorgeous powder room. The kitchen was extended to include the servant room for a larger space. In the other apartment, the bedroom next to the master bedroom was added as a lounge by breaking down the dividing wall and replacing it with a metal screen coated ingold, a signature element of Meenu Agarwal’s design.
With these major tweaks, Meenu achieved open spaces that flow seamlessly, resulting in an expansive feeling. The home is now left with six bedrooms and several connecting living and lounge areas, partially separated by gold-polished metal screens. The grand veins of Grigio Orobico’s smoky grey stone covering most of the flooring play delightfully with the diverse textures used in the detailing of the interiors, adding a rich note to the spaces. In some places, you can also see playful marble inlays adding to the textural play.
The use of exotic stones is the mainstay of the home – Flamingo is used in the dining area on the pantry side, while Honey onyx is used in the main dining; Casablanca, NSL, Zebrano, Brescia Crema, Vegas Gold, Golden Sienna are used in the various bathrooms and powder room; the main kitchen counter is made of Solar white. The predominantly soft pastel palette of the walls diffuses the golden accents to create a luxe environment.
Stunning statement furniture custom designed and created by MADS Creations at their facility complements the lavish spaces they occupy with bold shapes and forms, exquisite materials and
finishes, and sophisticated textures. The informal dining and entertaining area features a bar counter in green which looks as though it is suspended from the ceiling. The bedrooms are primarily done in soothing shades with delightful detailing on the walls using wallpapers, panelling and exciting artwork.
Sculptural lights specially customized for the space elevates the luxury quotient of the space. Exclusive accessories and thoughtfully curated artworks enhance the beauty of the interiors. No doubt, it’s a home that looks wow, yet it feels like home.
