Case Study 1: Vibrant Splashback Transformation

In a recent project for a 200-square-foot Mumbai flat, our client wanted to revamp their kitchen without a full renovation. They were tired of their dull white walls and outdated backsplash. The solution? A striking array of highlighter tiles in shades of teal and yellow.

Another project involved a 150-square-foot modular kitchen in a suburban area. The homeowner desired a modern look that reflected their personality. We incorporated highlighter tiles in a zigzag pattern along the counter area.

Client Pain Point: The kitchen was too bland and did not represent their style.

Solution: The highlighter tiles added a playful touch, enhancing the overall design. The project budget was ₹30,000, with actual expenses at ₹28,000, and was completed within 7 days.
