Houzz Tour: Muted Neutrals and Warm Textures in a New-build Home
Natural materials and layered textiles have given this clean-lined modern house a cosy ambience
Ramitha Anand and Prashanth Patil, co-founders of The Design Collaborative, were asked to design a modern, minimalistic home that is functional with clean aesthetics. The priority was to bring in as much light and ventilation as possible and create a warm and cosy ambience with a neutral colour palette and subtle textures.
While the designers sourced some pieces from Ikea and West Elm, most of the furniture, including the sofas, was custom-made by the company’s in-house team. The coffee table with quartz top and sleek metal legs accentuates the contemporary aesthetics of the living room.

The L-shaped open kitchen has a split-level island that doubles as a breakfast bar. “The pastel-coloured PU [polyurethane] lacquered cabinets provide a change from the neutral finishes in the rest of the house. The pendant lights above the island and the solid wood and metal bar stools further enhance the charm of this kitchen,” Ramitha says. Transom windows keep the area bright and airy.
Tucked away in a niche close to the kitchen is a solid wood dining table, made by The Design Collaborative. As in the kitchen, patterned floor tiles brighten the floor.
The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe. The bed frame is made of wood, while the headboard is fabric. Linear drop lights flank the bed and complement the symmetry of the windows.

Wooden flooring provides an inviting and warm vibe to the child’s bedroom. “The day bed can be extended into a full-size bed, thus doubling as a guest bed when required,” Prashanth says.
A chest of drawers, bookshelves and a built-in wardrobe provide ample storage.

The main door leads into an open-plan living room with clean-lined timber furniture made from polished ash. The designers built the residence using wire-cut bricks to optimise thermal insulation. Glazed vitrified tile flooring in distressed grey anchors the seating arrangement.
