atching movies and shows sitting on the six-seater cushioned modern sofa. The TV cabinet is placed right in front of the sofa, with several dainty décor items around it.
The massive living space is painted in neutral tones: the powder blue sofa complements the overall aesthetic of the space, adjacent to which is the family praying area.
The living area opens with balconies on two sides, allowing natural light to wade through the white curtains. The balcony is surrounded by mangroves, making it ideal to enjoy morning and evening coffee hours. The balcony also has a hanging bird feeder with water and food in it.
“We sit here for hours to talk and have fun,” Nidhi said, adding, “I have a lot of memories here.”
The kitchen also has a double-door luxury fridge featuring magnets collected from Nidhi’s travel expeditions around the world: from Paris to Ranthambore to Dubai.
The side table features several fan-made paintings and sketches, gifted to her. Parallel to the room is a makeup area with an elegant round mirror adorned with warm lights. However, the highlight of the room is the expansive white closet, exuding Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City vibe.
Dr Murali Krishna, Visiting Consultant – Psychiatry & Counselling Services, Aster RV Hospital, Bangalore, explained that traditional warmth with modern design influences a person’s emotional security as it enables people to feel both familiarity and comfort. “The two design approaches create a space which provides calming elements and practical design elements. The system enables users to experience two different states of mind because they can achieve complete relaxation while maintaining active organisational skills,” he said.
Dr Krishna also emphasised that thoughtfully designed personal spaces create a strong impact on stress levels. “The design enables people to move easily through their space while achieving their tasks, which prevents small interruptions that lead to mental exhaustion. The combination of these elements establishes a calming space that assists in relaxation while helping to restore mental focus and boost overall happiness and health,” he explained.
