Pennyroyal Tea | Multitude of Sins (MOS)

Pennyroyal Tea, Chennai is a slice of playful paradise nestled along the sun-kissed coast of Tamil Nadu - a heartfelt celebration of life and art where every corner spark joy and creativity while fitting perfectly into everyday life. Designed for a vibrant family of four, the home is a delightful medley of moments, with each nook and cranny making everyday rituals feel extraordinary. Gardens are a recurring theme throughout this whimsical home that brings a dreamy garden walk indoors, thoughtfully designed for practical, everyday use.

Spread across two levels, the house features a grand double-height entry, a welcoming foyer washed in natural light, and a living room where intricate details, terrazzo partitions, and sculptural elements add depth and interest and invite exploration. A library nook adorned with lime-plaster patterns and stained veneer celebrates creativity, while the beating heart of the home, the informal lounge, dining and bar, invites connection and warmth, where playful birds, custom dhurries, and vibrant tiles come alive.

The kitchen is seamlessly divided into functional zones featuring floral stained glass motifs and custom tile inserts. A joyful art studio for the young artist encourages imagination and collaboration. A powder room transforms a functional area into a delightful experience celebrating craftsmanship.

On the upper level, linear patterned tiles create a quiet rhythm, leading into private retreats, a cozy family living area, a charming home office, and bedrooms that reveal a world of beauty and creativity. The master bedroom blends comfort with handcrafted details and a dedicated yoga room designed for tranquillity. The son’s F1-inspired room and the daughter’s whimsical wildlife sanctuary ignite adventure and wonder.

Pennyroyal Tea is distinctly Indian and entirely one-of-a-kind, a vibrant reminder that true beauty lies in time, effort, and stories woven into every piece.

“We set out to create a home where every corner spark joy and creativity, all while fitting perfectly into everyday life.
