Here's a quick look at the grandiose and unique elements doused in majestic beauty and aura, that promise to make the Bigg Boss house a true visual treat.

A royal palette: A vibrant environment is all that one needs to inculcate feelings of positivity and comfort. This year, the Bigg Boss house is filled with bright and lively hues of pink, purple, gold and royal blue with some intricate and trendy designs that will leave you mesmerized.

The chamber of 'bedroom' secrets: This year, the contestants' mornings will be filled with bright sunlight as the altered positions of the living room and bedroom brings in some warm rays. The bedroom area features not only seven single beds, but also one big googly for the unsuspecting contestants. While 7 contestants will take the single beds, the remaining will have to share a massive bed which has been placed against a wall. A first-time addition is a walk-in closet adorned with full-length mirrors to ensure that the contestants look their absolute best at all times.

Kingly confessions: The confession room is one place where the contestants can shed all their inhibitions and share their deepest secrets and desires with Bigg Boss. This year, the room promises to make the contestants feel like royalty. The seat will be a classic emulation of a King's throne covered in deep and glittery gold. With the walls covered in deep red, and rustic lamps suspended from the ceiling, the confession room promises to be a sight for sore eyes.

Dungeon of errors: Contestants have always been prone to making errors and breaking the rules of the Bigg Boss house. This year, the house brings back one of its darkest elements, the jail. Painted to appear filthy to its inmates, the jail is splattered with gruesome material; this dungeon promises to be as good as hell. Located in a corner in the garden area, the jail has two iron Khatiyas (beds) with dusty bedding. Aluminum utensils, an earthen water pot and an Indian-style washroom. The Bigg Boss jail will give suitable punishment to those who break the rules of the house.

Modern royal bath: The newest addition to the bathroom area, this season, is a luxurious Jacuzzi placed in a corner which allows every relaxing contestant a full view of the entire room. A pristine white Jacuzzi in a royal purple washroom adorned with peacock graphics, the bathroom promises to create a rejuvenating, revitalizing and relaxing environment allowing thee contestants to unwind.

Feisty feasts: Continuing with this royal backdrop is the Bigg Boss house's most-loved space - the kitchen. Be it tiffs on daily responsibilities, gossip sessions or more, the kitchen has always found itself in the midst of its all. This year, the kitchen is the ultimate epitome of class and style. Its earthy tones and country design will bring a touch of home to this otherwise royal home. And this is extended to the dining table where a large curved table will form the basis for many conversations and food-related quarrels.

Garden area and Swimming Pool: All these elements are supported by the garden area which features a swimming pool, gym area and a specially-created Appy Fizz zone for the contestants to take a break from the daily tasks, making their Bigg Boss journey more enjoyable.

As the clock strikes 9pm tonight, a countdown will officially commence to the Bigg Boss launch tomorrow. And as a prelude to the launch of India's biggest reality show, Colors' has lined up a volley of entertainment offerings which will prove to be the perfect teaser to Bigg Boss.
