Located in the heart of Anna Nagar, Chennai, this salon project reflects a serene and grounded design sensibility inspired by the philosophy of understated elegance. The client’s brief centered around crafting a space rooted in natural materials, simplicity, and the quiet beauty of imperfection. Organic forms in furniture and accessories are thoughtfully balanced by clean, rectilinear wooden detailing, creating a dialogue between softness and structure. Lime plaster walls, developed through meticulous shade testing, offer a tactile, light-toned backdrop that enhances spatial calm. Oxide flooring adds a sense of depth and earthiness, anchoring the overall palette. Natural linen fabrics and bespoke carpentry introduce warmth, texture, and artisanal richness. Carefully curated objects reinforce the narrative of restraint and intentionality. A cohesive, muted color scheme and layered lighting design enhance the mood, accentuating material transitions and quiet moments. The space was envisioned as a sanctuary—where guests could disconnect and feel as though it was created just for them. More than a salon, it is a sensorial retreat designed to restore and inspire.
