Luxurious bathrooms don’t have to be spacious, expensive or branded. For a touch of opulence and a spa-like ambience, all you need is a combination of perfectly chosen design elements. Instead of spending a fortune, you can introduce details that will capture the essence of luxury, pieces that will create a feeling of cosiness and décor statements that will dominate your bathroom.

The AH residence in Hyderabad designed by Aamir and Hameeda reeks of class. Every object, every piece of furniture, every artifact fits like a hand in glove as if it were crafted for this space.

No prizes for guessing who made it to the top – yea, that floor-jutting Antilla of Mr. Ambani. With all due respect, it doesn’t matter how much billions went into the making of this 27-floor Mumbai mansion, the exteriors are an eyesore, at least in the pictures.

How much do you reckon would a 3-bedroom age-old apartment on a tree-lined street in historic Colaba with 16 foot high 100 year old Burma teak ceilings would cost? Throw in the old world charm of living spaces opening to verandahs, lots of natural light, open kitchen, stained glass windows and majestic Burma teak doors.
The flat has been restored while retaining the original structure including the mosaic, raised wooden ceiling and teak doors.
The living room opening up to the verandah.
Love the colorful tile backsplash.
