Interior designers words of wisdom Good clients always enable good output and there is always the possibility for sophisticated spontaneity and the elegance of the unexpected!

Interior designers words of wisdom I believe to convey an expression, it's very important for the complete envelope to speak the same story.

Old but beautiful

Nestled in Chennai, an 80-year old 2 bedroom home boasts of all things vintage. From red oxide floors, to vintage furniture furnished with traditional silk saris, and black and white family photographs that adorn the walls, the home brings out the perfect balance between the old and new.

Interior designers words of wisdom An old house is like an elderly person, and while some aspects might be in great health, other parts often have unexpected problems. It is important to understand the techniques and practices that went into the original construction. Sometimes, later renovations have layered other elements using later techniques on top of the original. We need to decide what to keep, what to upgrade and what to restore to its original state, such that it makes sense from a clinical perspective of setting the structure right, but also from the point of view of the emotion and values that the clients have acquired through decades of association. Educating ourselves and transmitting it to the labour force on these techniques, materials and values is essential to getting it right.

A compact apartment with showstopper elements

The space is further utilized by metal and fluted glass sliding doors that connect the dining room to the kitchen.

Mediterranean huesThis three bedroom in Bengaluru designed by Vinithra Amarnathan of Weespaces brings out the young owner couples nostalgic memories of the Western Ghats where they grew up and also their love for travel, especially Greece.

The home has Mediterranean hues strewn around the house with white and blue hints, along with abstract artworks.

Interior Designers words of wisdom: My biggest learning was to look at every obvious problem as an opportunity! An opportunity to think differently and reimagine a problematic situation as the center point of our design for the home! The column in the center of this home went from eyesore to feature! Something that defines the character of the home and makes for a welcoming feature!

Located in Kolva, Goa is the sprawling white bungalow which boasts of two terraces with views to die for. We were tasked with creating a simple, elegant aesthetic with a homely vibe. Functionality and maintenance-free design were the primary requisites, says Prashant, founder and principal architect of ZERO9 on Houzz.

Interior designers words of wisdom: The biggest learning we had in this project was that it is as important to feel the site and have a dialogue with it to explore the most of its location, feel and vibe as much as listening to the clients requirements.
