With a concept that revolves around a painting, Purple Backyard has changed the definition of luxury from opulent, grand and extravagant to muted, minimal and elegant in the interiors of a 3 BHK apartment in Bandra, Mumbai. For the interiors of the 1500 sq ft apartment, the client put forth an intriguing brief to architect Kumpal Vaid – a painting that she had inherited from her father. Taking cues from the soothing and not very flashy colour scheme of the artwork, the client sought an understated feeling of luxury. The plan of the residence did not require any major structural changes or alterations to the layout. The only intervention from the designer’s end was a multi-utility space – a den – which would act as the client’s study, home office, entertainment area and an extended guest bedroom. In keeping with the theme of minimalist luxury, the firm opted to experiment with textures and tones rather than with too many colours. Since the painting did not have too many bold colours, the material palette consisted of beige, taupe and cream tones and textures. A combination of sourced and custom-made pieces forms the collection of furniture that was selected for the residence.
