Heritage Revival

The Space

A warm and intimate retirement home, steeped in memories and rich with antique treasures collected over the years. Though compact in size, every corner was a canvas to blend heritage charm with ease of living.

The Ask

Our client—an accomplished doctor and a long-time patron—wanted her parents’ home to feel familiar, practical, and comfortable, while showcasing their cherished Indian collectibles. The challenge was to celebrate these antiques without overcrowding the limited space, and to weave them into a timeless, welcoming aesthetic.

The Result

With complete creative freedom, we reimagined the space into a seamless blend of old-world character and modern comfort. Every antique was given its rightful place, circulation was optimised for effortless movement, and the design retained the soul of the family’s heritage. The result is a retirement home that feels both nostalgic and fresh—crafted for quiet living and joyful hosting.

Testimonial

I wanted to take a moment for the incredible dedication put into the recent project. We initially had a basic setup done by Ratna Kalluri; we needed to make it feel more like home. That’s when I reached out to Ratna for help in making the place more lovable. She assisted with renovating – decor, furniture, and the overall design, including choosing colours and combinations. She helped us solve most of our concerns, and after discussing the look we wanted for the house, we were more than happy with the results. I’ve seen the results, and it turned out absolutely beautiful—more than we had hoped for. I love the overall look that came together in the end. While picking individual pieces didn’t seem like much at first, once everything was brought together—curtains, decor, plants—it all fell into place beautifully. The final result is truly stunning. This is my second time working with Ratna; she also worked on our house a few years ago, which is why I reached out to her again. I trust her expertise, and I highly recommend her work, not just to myself but to others as well, because I have seen the wonderful results she’s delivered for us.

Thank you again for your hard work and dedication in creating something truly special!
