Flat dwellers often complain that they do not have the luxury of space and that there is absolutely no option for them to add extensions to their abode. However, this stylish flat in Ernakulam is the perfect example of how space constraints are overcome through smart designing. Each and every space in this flat has been designed to suit the likes and preferences of the family members. Living and dining areas, balcony, kitchen with a work area and three bath-attached bedrooms are arranged in this beautiful flat that has an area of 1420 sq ft.
Living area
The living area is cosy and exudes an elegant charm which makes the guests comfortable as soon as they enter the flat. There is a custom made L-shaped couch, a TV unit, a stylish coffee table, pooja space and a curio shelf in this area. The shelf has been designed, making sure that there is ample space for storage. A simple yet elegant ceiling is the perfect addition here. The wall behind the couch has been highlighted using wall paper in metal shade. Meanwhile, the counter top on the TV unit has been paved with nano white that adds an amazing sheen here. There is a noticeable CNC design work to cover the hollow space in front of the TV unit.
