“Luxury toh le liya bhai, ab ghar lagna chahiye.”
That’s what one of our clients said when she finally moved into her 3.5 BHK in Dadar.
Because honestly, owning a luxury apartment in Mumbai is one thing. Making it feel like your space — is a whole other game.
If you’ve just moved into a high-rise in Powai, Lower Parel, Bandra, or even Thane… this blog is for you.
We’re sharing real ideas — desi, doable, and expert-backed — from homes we’ve actually worked on.
🌟 1. Start With the Vibe, Not Pinterest Saves
Before you hire anyone, ask yourself: “Mujhe feel kya chahiye?”
- Calm Bali resort style?
- Sleek, modern-glass flat?
- Or rooted Indian luxury?
Client Example:
Mrs. Joshi wanted “classy, but warm.” We used teak wood, soft golds, and amber lighting. No bling. All charm.

🪔 2. Desi Decor, But Make It Tasteful
Add cultural accents without going full haveli:
- Blue pottery in guest washrooms
- South Indian swings in balconies
- Antique temple bells or brass diyas in modern foyers
- Thali plate wall decor (we promise it works!)
Designer Hack: Frame old family photos in black-and-white for a clean, personal touch.

🧿 3. Vastu Tips Without Drama
Let’s be real — full vastu compliance is hard in Mumbai layouts. So we do smart workarounds:
- Compact pooja corners with wooden jaali doors in NE
- Brass vastu yantras in headboards
- Warm earthy tones in kitchen to fix direction issues
📸 Image Suggestion: Modern pooja unit with soft backlight
🧳 4. Storage So Sleek, It Disappears
Luxury doesn’t mean less stuff. It means hidden storage:
- Beds with sari drawers (velvet-lined!)
- Wardrobe walls with secret bar units
- Ottoman stools that open into shoe bins
Client reaction: “Even meri maid ko storage ka layout pasand aaya!”
📸 Image Suggestion: Pull-out unit or concealed wardrobe bar
💡 5. Light Your Home Like a Movie Set (Not a Hospital)
White tube lights = no.
Layered, mood lighting = hell yes.
- Cove lights with warm tones (2700K)
- Wall washers to highlight art
- Motion sensor lights under beds and wardrobes
Bonus: Warm lights = better selfies. Fact.
📸 Image Suggestion: Living room with mixed lighting layers
🎉 6. Design for Real Indian Living
Festivals, guests, Ganpati, drama — it all happens at home.
Design smart:
- Folding partitions to open up space
- Decor hooks for fairy lights and torans
- Custom pull-out platform for Ganpati sthapna
📸 Image Suggestion: Decor setup during Diwali or Ganpati
✨ 7. Let Your Home Whisper Your Name
Luxury isn’t about copying someone’s Pinterest board.
It’s about weaving your story:
- Pet corner with storage and bed
- Shaadi invitation framed in the dining space
- Your kid’s first drawing lit up like art
Client Case Study: The Thane Modern Maharashtrian Home
We used:
- Cane & teak seating
- Warli art panels
- Pantry mural in Marathi calligraphy
Result? “Modern meets Marathi” — and totally unique.
