A serene oasis in the busy city of Mumbai, this luxurious home by Jannat Vasi soothes frazzled nerves with its gentle palette and versatile design
If one had to choose a single word that encapsulates this commodious apartment, “luminous” would be it. Natural light imbues every part of this subtly opulent Mumbai abode with a rejuvenating glow, bringing its interior spaces to life and visually expanding its already roomy dimensions. Coupled with the liberal use of natural tones, subtle colour accents and a characterful mix of design elements, this contemporary residence is an elegant, relaxing sanctuary for the three-generational family who calls it home.
The 3,500 sq ft apartment was created by combining two adjacent units, with Jannat Vasi Interior Design conceptualising an abode that more than fulfils its occupants’ aesthetic and functional requirements. The family comprises a couple in their 40s, along with their parents and a young daughter aged six.
“As three generations occupy the home, we were briefed to create [individual] private spaces as well as a large, open space for family bonding,” says Jannat Vasi, founder of her eponymous design firm.

The homeowners love travel, fashion and food, with this global sensibility tempered by their Indian roots. Design-wise, Vasi opted to weave a rich tapestry of influences, with locally sourced stones and timber, and colourful murals, delicate pastel hues, rich textures and modern silhouettes to give the home’s largely wooden canvas a lift.
“Having travelled to the US while designing this home, I was influenced by the warm tones and subtle fusion of colour seen in West Hollywood estates,” she explains.
