Using a typical design scheme: 

One can always use a completely deviated furniture palette or colour scheme from the design style of a space which maintains the intrigue of the patrons. Like in PVR Home, we have consolidated furniture serving as an assortment of colorful hues while the walls pertain primarily to white tones. The furniture pieces range from contemporary to colonial, depending on the defined experience that space has to offer. The dining, adjacent to the music lounge, utilizes a splurge of mustard & vibrant blue furnishings while the bar comprises of cherry stools in a tropical theme, highlighting the divergent color scheme of the area.

Unconventional design elements can also be a part of an offbeat endeavor. Unconventional material palette may be subsumed to get the legitimacy of a luxury project. In the entrance lobby of PVR Home, a stunning chandelier from Mud Studio in South Africa dangles from the illustrious ceiling. The area is cladded with mirrors, giving the space an infinite look, adding a subtle yet exclusive persona to the entry. Also, a vestibule contrived with stained-glass wall and wooden paneling serves as the way to the washrooms, granting the sphere a radiant persona.

Enhanced Landscape Features:

As urbanization is on its peak these days, people prefer to dine-in at open spaces that include numerous green areas aiding to their visual and psychological needs. Hence, designers tend to incorporate a green aspect in their designs, customarily on rooftops treating them as terrace gardens.
