DLF Camellias: How to Design a 9,500 sq ft Luxury Apartment (Full Home Tour)

DLF Camellias | Home Tour | Home Along | Interior Design | Decor Inspo | DLF Camellias | Full Home Tour | Gurgoan Welcome to another episode of Home Along with Mint, where we step inside DLF Camellias, Gurgaon, to explore one of India’s most thoughtfully designed luxury residences. In this episode, we tour a sprawling 9,500 sq ft home with a meticulously detailed 6,500 sq ft carpet area, designed, executed, and delivered in an impressive 120-day timeline—a rare feat at this scale and level of finish. We walk through the home with Monica Chawla, Creative Head at Essentia, the design studio behind 51 completed homes at DLF Camellias. Known for her refined approach to quiet luxury, Monica breaks down the design intent behind each space—where restraint meets craftsmanship, and luxury is expressed through proportion, materiality, and flow rather than excess. From the moment you enter, the home sets its tone with an 8.5 ft x 5 ft bespoke chandelier, anchoring the entrance and creating a sense of understated grandeur. The tour takes you through formal and family living areas designed with low-slung furniture, sculptural elements, curved silhouettes, and layered lighting. Marble statement pieces, nano-coated surfaces, and tonal palettes are used strategically to elevate everyday spaces without overwhelming them. The episode also dives deep into functional luxury—from a balcony that opens out to uninterrupted golf course views, to powder bathrooms that deliver maximum impact in compact footprints. Monica shares practical insights on master bathroom planning, ventilation strategies, material selection, and how to design kids’ rooms that evolve with age, as well as age-friendly interiors for grandparents that balance comfort, safety, and aesthetics.
