Living Room Interior Design for Modern Mumbai Homes
We believe your living room should be a narrative, not just a furniture layout. We design spaces that reflect your personal history, blending functionality with the unique rhythm of your daily life.
In Apartment 1005, we designed distinct but connected enclaves. This view shows the seamless transition from the bar and living area to the study, using architectural framing and consistent materiality to create a cohesive family mind map.
This vignette from Apartment 1600 showcases our curated approach to furnishing. A simple black steel and glass console is paired with woven baskets and distinctive artwork, creating an entryway that is both functional and expressive of a mid-century tropical aesthetic.
For Apartment 5026, we revived a family home by honoring its Art Deco roots. The living room features reclaimed terrazzo floors and furniture with vintage silhouettes, blending global influences with a character that is unmistakably Mumbai.
A closer look at the living area in Apartment 1005, where custom-designed teak wood seating creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The design focuses on clean lines and natural textures, achieving a look that is both minimal and luxurious.
We used a bold, dark feature wall in Apartment 1600 to create a dramatic and intimate lounge area. The rich wood paneling and tan leather sofa add warmth and texture, resulting in a sophisticated space designed for hosting and relaxation.
A glimpse into the open-plan living and dining area of Apartment 3201. We used natural oak and black stained wood to create a blended, cosmopolitan space that reflects the clients' Indian and Dutch heritage, perfect for fostering togetherness.
This living room from our 'Summer Haus' project is a celebration of color and form. We used sculptural, custom-turned wooden coffee tables and a plush, coral-toned sofa to create a playful yet sophisticated environment that feels curated and full of personality.
In this corner of Apartment 1600, we paired a classic black leather armchair with a bold, stacked side table against a dark wall. The composition highlights our ability to mix mid-century modern elements with contemporary art for a layered, masculine aesthetic.
The living space of Apartment 1600 extends onto this spacious terrace overlooking the Arabian Sea. We selected durable, stylish outdoor furniture to create a seamless indoor-outdoor lounge, perfect for entertaining while capturing panoramic coastal views.

About Residential Narratives: Living Spaces
We do not believe in templates. Instead, we build your living area around a 'mind map' of your family’s specific habits and cherished memories. Whether it is finding the perfect spot for an heirloom Art Deco piece or designing a custom teak coffee table to ground a room, we focus on how you move and live in the space. Our goal is to create a living room that feels like it has always been yours, even if the layout was entirely reimagined.
The Art of the Living Space
For us, a living room is more than a sofa and a television. It is the stage for your family’s history. Our design process begins with listening—truly listening—to how you use the space. Do you need a calm sanctuary for quiet Sunday mornings, or a vibrant area designed to host and entertain guests?
We bridge the gap between your vision and the site’s reality. In our Mumbai projects, we often work with the existing heritage of the building—honoring Art Deco roots with reclaimed terrazzo floors or introducing contemporary, clean lines that contrast beautifully with older architectural details.
Materiality and Craft
Materials tell the story of a home. We experiment with a tactile palette: warm, natural oak, rich teak, and black stained wood. These textures are not chosen for aesthetics alone but for the comfort and depth they bring to a room. We often design bespoke furniture for these projects, ensuring every corner, from the joinery of a bar cabinet to the weave of a rug, serves the overall narrative.
Our Process
When you engage with us, you aren't just getting a 3D render. You are getting:
- Narrative Mapping: We document your aesthetic concept and personal history to guide all design decisions.
- Optimized Flow: We draft 2D plans that prioritize light and movement, ensuring the room feels spacious, even in dense urban settings.
- Curated Sourcing: We handle the legwork, selecting loose furniture, lighting, and textiles that fit your budget and style, sourcing from our trusted network of makers.
We want your home to stand the test of time, evolving as your life changes. Whether you are reviving a family home or moving into a new apartment, we are here to help you articulate your story through design.
