At the Vernissage House in Gurugram, Maison Du Luxe blurs the line between art and architecture—creating a home that feels as curated as a gallery, yet as personal as a sanctuary.
Art and architecture find perfect harmony in The Vernissage House in Gurugram—a 9,000 sq ft residence envisioned by Maison Du Luxe in collaboration with Ginnie Jain and Nilu Kapur. Inspired by the serene sophistication of an art gallery, the home is a masterclass in intentional design, where every material, object, and spatial detail has been carefully curated. More than just a place to live, it’s a space that nourishes the spirit—each room thoughtfully composed to reflect the enduring elegance of its elements.
At the heart of this artistic retreat lies a living room that exudes warmth and refined craftsmanship. More than just a lounging area, it offers a sensory experience, inviting you in with bespoke sofas and armchairs draped in luxurious fabrics and layered textures. The handcrafted dining table, a striking centrepiece, reflects the homeowner’s affinity for art, elegance, and timeless design. With its intricate wooden patterns, it grounds the space, adding a sense of permanence and balance to the surrounding sophistication.
The bedroom, with its serene ambience, feels like a personal retreat through chosen design elements. Light wood finishes and clean-lined furniture create a tranquil sanctuary, where natural materials such as wood, stone, and marble take center stage. The restrained elegance of the design complements the calming neutral tones of the space, fostering an environment conducive to rest and relaxation.
The home bar, tucked within the living area, is another remarkable element of this residence. In keeping with the home’s overall aesthetic, the bar combines classic design with a modern sensibility, creating a space that is both timeless and functional. The warm, rich tones of the wood are complemented by sleek marble surfaces, offering an elegant backdrop for entertaining. The bar area is designed not only as a functional space for mixing drinks but also as an intimate setting for conversation and relaxation. Ample storage for glassware and beverages is seamlessly integrated into the design, ensuring that the space remains both elegant and practical.
Throughout the apartment, Maison Du Luxe has artfully combined an array of materials, creating a tactile and visual symphony. Wood, quartz, marble, leather, and plush fabrics are all carefully integrated to form a cohesive narrative that flows through the entire home. Each material is chosen not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its ability to contribute to the overall sense of comfort and warmth. The materials work together in perfect harmony, creating an environment that is both luxurious and inviting.
Perhaps the most striking aspect of this home is the way it transcends traditional notions of interior design. It is not simply a place to live; it is an embodiment of bespoke luxury, where every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a space that is as unique as its inhabitants. Intricate wall panelling adds layers of sophistication and depth to the interiors, while carefully chosen artworks reflect the homeowner’s personality, infusing the space with a sense of intimacy and individuality. The collaboration between designers Ginnie Jain and Nilu Kapur, and the homeowner has resulted in a home that is not just functional but profoundly personal. Each room feels like a carefully curated exhibition, where every piece has been selected not just for its aesthetic value but for its ability to reflect the essence of the people who inhabit it.
In every element of this home, Maison Du Luxe has blended luxury, artistry, and functionality. From the bespoke furniture to the custom wardrobes, bars, and vanities, every element reflects the homeowner’s unique taste and lifestyle. This home is as much a testament to the beauty of bespoke design, as it is to the craft of creating spaces that remain timeless. And what Maison Du Luxe has done with The Vernissage House is: to throw an invitation to waltz across rooms, get enchanted by the power of design and forget whether you’re in a home or a gallery.
