The Modern Muse | Pinnacle Palette Architects | Indore
The Modern Muse is a contemporary 3BHK bungalow in Indore, designed by Pinnacle Palette Architects. Spanning 1800 sq. ft., the residence embraces a refined language of warmth, fluidity, and modern elegance. The design studio, co-led by Ar. Rupal Agrawal and ID Yashi Goyal blend structure and interior design to craft luxurious and grounded residence spaces. With a focus on seamless spatial flow and personalized detailing, the home offers a quiet sophistication tailored for modern living.
Speaking about the design intent, Principal Architect Ar. Rupal Agrawal and ID Yashi Goyal share that the primary vision was to create an environment that harmonizes comfort with clean, curated aesthetics. As wanted, the spaces are designed to resonate emotionally with the homeowners while maintaining functional fluidity. While materiality played a central role through soft textures, muted tones, and custom elements gave each corner its unique identity without overwhelming the overall narrative.
Grand Living
The main door features a bold chevron-patterned wood finish with sleek grooves, setting a warm and elegant tone for the home’s entryway. The double-height living room is designed with clean lines, neutral-toned flooring, and soft beige upholstery. An eye-catching wall design adds depth, while curtains soften the grand living windows. A stylish sofa emphasizes the space, matched with a modern curved couch, while a marble-top center table adds a classy finishing touch.
In the living area, the TV unit is designed with a sleek wooden console and a textured backdrop, creating a clean and modern focal point. The ceiling features a rich wooden panel framed by modern chandelier cove lighting and highlighted with a metallic gold decor piece at the center. The composition enhances visual interest while complementing the double-height layout.

Serene Mandir

Recessed lighting ensures functional brightness, while sleek cabinetry keeps the layout clean and clutter-free.

Complemented with a fabric headboard, side tables with metallic accents, and a wooden TV unit adds functionality with a clean, minimal design. Lighting is creatively handled through linear designer ceiling fixtures to avoid glare. The overall palette is soft and earthy, focusing on comfort and practicality with understated elegance.
The staircase with pleasant wall decor and a sleek handrail visually anchors the space. Every element is selected to emphasize openness while maintaining a cohesive and modern interior expression. “To maintain the elegance of a double-heighted living room, the team cleverly concealed the meter box with a sliding panel that functions as an elegant decor feature.” – added by The Principal Designers.
Joyful Corner
Located upstairs, the playful zone is crafted to encourage fun, comfort, and creativity for kids. A built-in cushioned seating deck functions as a reading nook and play area, with soft furnishings and pastel-toned wall shelves for storage.

Whimsical Haven- bedroom
The daughter’s bedroom is a playful yet well-coordinated space that features pastel lavender tones, curved wall décor, and integrated storage. A wave-like wall panel with recessed lighting brings movement and softness to the room, while the lavender-upholstered bed with a pleasant headboard complements the playful theme. The study zone includes custom shelving with arched detailing and a velvet-tufted niche seat. Beaded-leg furniture and a seamless ceiling design continue the dreamy theme. This room blends whimsy with utility, offering a creative, comfortable, and highly personalized setting for a growing child.
Luxury Lounge
The lounge is defined by a curved-shaped cream-toned sofa set against a marble-textured feature wall with vertical light strips and brass sconces. A set of nested coffee tables and indoor planters enhances the visual balance. Floor-length sheer curtains and soft luxury detail—from the fabric choice to the lighting fixtures have been personalized to create a serene, elevated corner for socializing or unwinding. The lounge ceiling features arched cut-out patterns lined with mirror sheets, reflecting natural light and adding depth to the space. The clean white base enhances the graceful form, creating a striking focal point that complements the room’s elegant design.
Refined Retreat
