While minimalism is trending right now, when designing a home, pursuing maximalism requires precision and knowledge of mixing varying palettes, as well as the realisation that layered textures can liven up your space beautifully. That is what Kailasa – a gorgeous maximalist property in Delhi – is all about.
Designed by Qube designs within the leafy neighbourhood of Vasant Vihar in New Delhi, the 6,000 sq ft residence – called Kailasa – is a bold exploration of dark tonality, maximalist layering, and immersive spatial drama. Let’s take a look inside:

According to Qube designs, the four-bedroom house was designed by principal designer Karan Sethi for Dr Sumit Sharma and Ishita Sharma and is divided into two levels, creating a clear distinction between the family’s private living space and an entertainment area for guests. While the upper floor serves as a cohesive family retreat housing the master suites, the ground floor has a dedicated entertainment level.
“Attention to detail was paramount at the site, from ceiling treatments and joinery alignments to seamless service integrations. Every surface and junction was carefully considered to ensure that the maximalist vision remained refined rather than overwhelming,” the design team revealed.
The maximal decor
The decor was executed over eight months in carefully planned phases. The upper floor, which features the family’s living space, marries darker palettes and maximalist decor with stunning crystal chandeliers, elegant marble flooring, large French windows that overlook the greenery outside and let in ample natural light, and statement wooden furniture.
While one bedroom follows a dark blue theme, another features a Pinteresty pink element. Meanwhile, a modern, gold floor poster bed anchors the master suite. The walk-in closet in the master bedroom adds another level of elegance, while the bathroom plays with textures with patterned marble. As per Qube designs, the flooring is finished in Michelangelo stone imported from Portugal.
As for the ground floor, a defining feature is the striking blue entertainment lounge envisioned as a cigar and hosting space. A revolving bar, paintings by Mangesh Rajguru, wall art by Kapil Anant, and statement chandeliers add depth and personality to each room.
“Kailasa stands as a strong articulation of Qube Designs philosophy, where darker palettes, statement elements, and meticulous detailing converge to create a home that is both dramatic and deeply considered,” the design team shared.
