A blue tinted home that’ll leave you feeling the opposite of blue—this is what interior designer Smita Thomas of Multitude of Sins has created in Bengaluru. With expansive views of a lake, the residence spans a little over 8,500 sq ft across two floors.

“Within the first few meetings, I knew that behind that quiet, serious facade of the client was a vibrant personality with a healthy appetite for risk and a clear fondness for colour (especially blue), simple geometry and restraint,” says Thomas.

So, Thomas planned a living room, main kitchen, dining area, music chamber, bedrooms for the two kids, and the main guest room on the lower level. Along with the upper floor, this forms the private quarters of the home, accessible only to family and close friends. The area adjacent to the family space on the lower level has a separate entrance that leads to the communal section of the house. This zone houses a lounge, bar, dining space ideal for large gatherings and a fully equipped home office to accommodate the client’s round-the-clock work schedule.

Drowning in a Star Wars theme, the walls depict cinematic scenes from A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. Along with the wardrobe and doors, the lower half of the walls match the interiors of the Deathstar. “We’ve all imagined piloting an X-wing through the trenches of the Death Star or flying a land speeder through the giant legs of an AT-AT at some point,” smiles Thomas.
