A home often serves as a designer’s canvas—a space where creativity knows no bounds and design rules are reimagined. Such is the story of House of Grace, a soulful yet regal residence in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
Designed by Azure Interiors, led by Rashi Bothra and Ruchi Gehani, this 5,000 sq. ft. home blends vintage charm with modern comforts, all within a palette of inky black and white hues.
A Timeless Design Philosophy
True to its name, House of Grace exudes elegance and sophistication. The home’s open-concept floor plan fosters a seamless connection between spaces, with the architecture serving as a silent enabler of fluidity and warmth. Each corner of the residence reflects meticulous attention to detail, crafting an environment where classic English aesthetics meet contemporary design elements.
Classic Meets Contemporary
Step through the grand double doors into a spacious foyer, where a striking art piece of a cathedral takes center stage above a geometric console. This introduction sets the tone for the formal living room—a sophisticated retreat defined by its monochromatic palette, plush seating, and a sculptural fireplace. Layered with decadent décor, exquisite light fixtures, and elegant window treatments, the room is a study in timeless style.
“We have tempered the home’s classical grandeur with energetic bursts of eye-catching shapes, clean lines, and subtle nuances of English architecture,” share Rashi and Ruchi. These thoughtful touches extend to the hallways, which lead to a unique feature of the home—a Gurdwara infused with Lippan art, embodying spiritual depth and artisanal craftsmanship.
Balancing Fancy with Functionality
The dining area maintains the home’s cohesive theme, its understated elegance creating a welcoming atmosphere. Adjacent to this space, the kitchen combines functionality and style, featuring a pristine white island and soft mint-green cabinetry that add a contemporary edge to the classic design.
Each room within the residence reflects the diverse tastes of its occupants while adhering to the overarching theme of contemporary elegance. The family room—comfortable and lively—balances the home’s grandeur with an inviting charm. At the end of the hall, a thoughtfully designed home office offers abundant shelving and a garden view, merging utility with beauty.
A Testament to Artisanship
House of Grace celebrates the artistry and craftsmanship that elevate design. “Designing the master suite was particularly enjoyable,” Ruchi reveals. The suite features custom-made furniture and vintage pieces that exude bespoke luxury. The accompanying en-suite walk-in closet is a standout, with patterned flooring, lacquered cabinetry, and a grand central island reminiscent of Victorian-era sophistication.
Sustainability Meets Luxury
In addition to its visual and functional appeal, House of Grace integrates sustainable practices to minimize its ecological footprint. Large windows usher in natural light, while low-VOC paints and energy-efficient appliances underscore the home’s commitment to the environment. Smart home systems further enhance sustainability, ensuring the residence harmonizes luxury with responsibility.
A Home to Inspire
House of Grace stands as a testament to Azure Interiors’ philosophy of blending timeless design with contemporary needs. It’s a home where vintage elements, modern conveniences, and sustainable practices coalesce, offering a living space that is as beautiful as it is meaningful. With its poised elegance and thoughtful design, House of Grace redefines what it means to create a truly timeless home.
