A colour co-ordinated drama

30 Jan 2023 CW Team

Raipur-based Azure Interiors is known for creating spaces that thrive on an emotional connection with the people who use them. The designer duo behind Azure, Rashi Bothra and Ruchi Gehani, presents an enchanting colour co-ordinated space.

The designers rooted the aesthetics in nature while maintaining a sophisticated edge to create a relaxing atmosphere. The interior approach of this space is focused on keeping the common areas connected to offer flexible spatial configurations so that the rooms can operate independently or together to suit the occasion while being in sync with one another.

The flooring in rough brown Kota stone accented with a highlighter with a pateena finish and interlaid with wooden tiles further sets a muted backdrop.

The colour scheme acts as a highlighter element, which renders the space as a textured surface. The neutral atmosphere bristles with a raw edge. As a result, the eye is guided towards the verdant views framing the space.

Supreme luxury embraces natural textures and materials to touch the senses gently enabling complete relaxation and rejuvenation of the body and the mind.
