Interior Design:
Color Palette: The usage of earthy tones like terracotta, deep reds, and ochres, complemented by contemporary neutrals like beige, grey, and white.
Flooring: Traditional Athangudi tiles, which are a hallmark of Chettinad architecture, used in key areas. For a contemporary contrast, consider polished concrete or wooden floors in other areas.
Ceilings: Incorporated Wooden false ceiling with intricate carvings and details which stands as a contrast to the beige wall colour.
Furniture: Use a furniture with chettinad inspired patterns, which created a balanced look that’s both luxurious and inviting.
Decor and Artifacts Wall Art: Decorate the walls with Tanjore paintings or murals depicting scenes from South Indian folklore, offset by contemporary art pieces or metal sculptures.
Lighting: Use traditional brass lamps and chandeliers in combination with sleek, modern light fixtures. The hanging with patterns is used which provides the magical look to the interior, that goes well with the wall patterns.
Decorative Elements: Incorporated traditional Chettinad pillars, jaali (lattice) work, and antique artifacts like bronze vessels. Complement these with contemporary decor items such as abstract sculptures or modern planters.
Seating Arrangement Dining Areas: Offer a mix of traditional low seating with cushions and modern dining tables. Private dining areas could mimic traditional Chettinad interiors with a contemporary twist, such as using glass partitions or modern lighting.

These elements are complemented by modern finishes, including sleek surfaces and contemporary fixtures, resulting in a balanced contrast that enhances the overall aesthetic.
