Set amidst a bustling neighbourhood in Bengaluru, Maison Verde is a 4,000 sq. ft. private residence designed by Vinithra Amarnathan, Principal Designer, Weespaces. Built on a foundation of traditional architecture, the home draws inspiration from Neoclassical design, tropical tones, and a refined, sophisticated sensibility.
“The infusions of warm greens and bold teals and navy define the interiors, juxtaposed with bold monochromes and brass accents. The prominent infusion of greens and the tropical palette inspires the name Maison Verde.” Vinithra Amarnathan, Principal Designer, Weespaces.
The home opens into a large foyer area featuring a classic harlequin marble floor and a foyer table in front of a wall clad in antique mirror. A soft archway leads into the living room, sporting soft teal walls all over. A curved sofa sits below a custom art piece by artist Priyanka Aelay and upholstered swivel chairs and classic fluted marble tables bring together the space. The living space has a vaulted ceiling that complements the arches. The dining and curved fluted bar area adjoining the living space is clad in a soft watercolour mural paper and sits next to the kitchen,n where deep navy cabinetry and a stone-topped island ground the space.
As we move up the stairs on the lower level is the guest bedroom with a large tropical mural papered wall behind a cane back bed. The classic French country cane and wood bed feels at home against the nature-inspired wall mural. On the first floor the stairs open into the family space featuring a grasscloth wallpaper that covers the entire family room and a wall-to-wall built-in library unit in a deep smoky blue-gray tone. A leather Chesterfield and a swivel chair ground the entire space. This level also sports three other bedrooms and bathrooms, including the master bedroom, kids’ bedroom and a guest room.
“The master bedroom is an oasis in itself and takes our clients’ love for the colour green to another level, using it in different tones and materials to create a layered but monotone space. The walk-in closet is clad in a William Morris wallpaper and deep teal wardrobes and the bedroom walls are painted a sage green, while the panelled ceiling sports a deep tone of forest green, creating a rich contrast. A large four-poster bed grounds the room. The master bathroom uses deep green tiles all over and a green marble to create a cut-out sink to create a monotone luxe feel,” says Vinithra Amarnathan
The adjoining kids’ room has a loft space above the bed area and is a perfect lounge spot for a teenage boy. The walls are kept a crisp white while colour comes in through art and soft furnishings.
A thoughtful play of colour, texture, and form, Vinithra Amarnathan and the team at Weespaces have crafted a residence that feels both timeless and personal— an elegant urban retreat rooted in tradition yet tailored for modern living. Photography: Nayan Soni
