A complete residential interior covering the living and dining areas, modular kitchen, bedrooms, prayer space and bathrooms. The scheme works on a warm neutral base - wood-toned laminates, off-white surfaces and layered lighting - with most of the design effort going into built-in joinery rather than loose furniture or applied décor.
The family wanted a home that felt warm and complete without turning visually heavy. The apartment had the usual constraints of a builder-finished unit: rooms of modest width, a living and dining area that share one continuous run, and bedrooms where a bed, wardrobe and work surface all needed to fit without crowding the walking space.
The specific asks were:
Generous storage in every room, kept out of sight where possible<br>A living area that could handle both daily use and guests, without the television wall dominating<br>Dining and kitchen that connect visually but stay functionally separate<br>A properly defined prayer space, modest in scale<br>Bedrooms with full-height wardrobes, integrated dressing and a study or work counter<br>Lighting that could shift between bright and soft depending on the time of day<br>Finishes that are easy to maintain over years of family use
We built the plan around joinery. Wherever storage was needed, it was designed into the wall rather than added as freestanding furniture - this kept the floor line clear and made narrow rooms feel wider than they measure.
In the living room, the television wall was treated as the single focal point, with panelling and cladding framing the screen and closed base storage running below it. Everything else in the room stays quiet. Seating was positioned to keep the passage to the dining and bedroom side clear.
Dining sits within the same volume as the living room but is separated by ceiling treatment and lighting rather than by a wall. A pendant over the table marks the zone, and a crockery unit against the adjacent wall handles storage and display in one run. Mirror and wood trim on that wall bounce light from the balcony deeper into the space.
The kitchen was laid out to keep the sink, hob and prep counter in a workable sequence, with tall units grouped at one end for bulk storage and appliances. Corner pockets were fitted with pull-out and rotating hardware so no depth is wasted. Under-cabinet lighting was added so the counter stays usable regardless of the ceiling lights.
Bedrooms follow one repeated logic: a panelled headboard wall, a full-height wardrobe run along the opposite or adjacent wall with a loft above, and a dresser or study counter built into the same joinery line. Bedside lighting was integrated into the panelling or hung from the ceiling to keep the side tables free.
The prayer space was given a wooden frame with jaali detailing and warm backlighting - small in footprint, but clearly defined so it doesn't read as leftover space.
Lighting throughout was planned in three layers: cove lighting in the false ceiling for ambient wash, recessed spots for focus, and task lighting under wall units and inside display shelves.
I was looking for good interior designers with whom i can work to customise every corner of my dream home. Dleaps team provided exceptional work which i thought was only possible from big companies. I got interiors, ceiling and some furniture done at reasonable costs. Overall, i highly recommend them if you want a modern looking home with good service.
