Actor Nayanthara and her filmmaker husband Vignesh Shivan offered a sneak peek of their home studio in Chennai, transformed from a palatial 7,000-square-ft colonial bungalow. With an old-world British charm with a distinctly modern rustic vibe, the space has been thoughtfully refurbished by designer Nikhita Reddy. Check out the pictures below.

As per Architectural Digest India, the studio is outdoorsy and tropical with a focus on traditional craftsmanship. It includes an earthy colour palette with elements of teak, woven fiber, linen fabric, and rattan. Nayanthara told the outlet, “I wanted to retain the essence of the bungalow while enhancing it to make it brighter by bringing in lots of natural light."
