Idyll Home: A Modern Indian Sanctuary
A remarkable trend is emerging in Indian interiors, with numerous homes gaining attention from editors at Wallpaper*. Creative studios like Studio Jane in Delhi, Multitude of Sins in Chennai, and MuseLAB in Gujarat are at the forefront of this movement. A shining example of the ‘modern Indian’ aesthetic is the Idyll Home in Coimbatore, designed by the innovative firm Chestnut Storeys.
Crafting a Luxurious Sanctuary
Idyll Home, envisioned by founder Farah Agarwal, serves as a serene sanctuary for a family of four. The design prioritizes comfort while embodying opulence through the use of neutral hues and organic materials. Bold accents add a touch of sophistication, resulting in a clean and inviting space.
Agarwal introduces vibrant colors and whimsical features that enhance the design’s allure. Notable elements include:
- Turquoise and gold pineapple wallpaper in the dining area
- An orange staircase that catches the eye
- Varied materials such as Kota stone flooring and metallic finishes
These unexpected design choices elevate the overall aesthetic of Idyll Home.
Unique Spaces that Reflect Diversity
Spanning 10,000 sq ft, each area in Idyll Home has its unique character, breaking the mold of conventional continuity. Highlights include:
- A foyer showcasing a Ravinder Reddy sculpture and a vivid staircase in a double-height area that integrates an indoor garden.
- An informal living room adorned with playful B&B Italia armchairs.
- A pooja room, which is integral in Indian homes, accompanied by a tranquil water feature.
- A courtyard featuring a reflection pool with a traditional wooden boat.
Harmonizing Indoor and Outdoor Living
Agarwal’s design philosophy incorporates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The garden beautifully merges natural elements with modern touches. Inside, the layout maximizes natural light and ventilation thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and reflective surfaces, blurring the lines between architecture and nature.
A Celebration of Indian Heritage
Idyll Home elegantly embodies heritage through a curated selection of artifacts and furniture sourced from various regions in India, including:
- Vahana sculptures
- Cochin antiques
- Jaipur Rugs carpeting
These elements infuse the residence with cultural depth and warmth, aligning perfectly with the modern Indian aesthetic.
