Liberation from the shackles of a client’s brief enables Kalpak Bhandari to tailor this apartment for himself in Pune, to the preferences of his own family. Adopting a fusion of styles, it is filled with furniture and artefacts that he and wife, Pooja Bhandari are particularly partial to.

Most of the furniture has been manufactured by Veekas Studio in Mango wood, making it more affordable. An entire wall clad from floor to ceiling with framed mirrors in different shapes makes for an eye catching display. In the living room, most of the furniture has deliberately been kept light weight, to facilitate moving it around whenever required.

The master bedroom has an antique dummy door for a headboard, in the aforementioned distressed finish. With chandeliers hanging from the ceiling for bedside lights, there is an old world charm to this room.
