There was a project on Interior planning that we had taken up in South Delhi. The apartment was situated in area of one of the most affluent families in South Delhi- Greater Kailash.

While working on this project we realized that there are many Home Owners who have the term “Interior Designing and Planning” misunderstood. Few home owners believe Interior design is mere looks of house interiors. That’s partly true. The key role Interior Designing and planning is functionality too because even the largest house can lack space for poor planning and execution. With proper planning and execution a tiny apartment can be transformed into a cozy one.

We believe that house interior must be aesthetically appealing and practical at the same time.

For the Project that we had taken up in Greater Kailash site, the interior was poorly planned. Different elements like fireplace, TV cabinet, etc. were poorly planned and scattered for Drawing Room. The most challenging part in this particular project was organizing this 1 huge room using various elements (as per client’s requirement) with minimal cost and not major changes.

Action taken

Segregating the room

Firstly we split the drawing room into 2 sections- one being fireplace and other being TV area. Thearea was differentiated with use of sofa sets and different center table in each area. You would wonder why not a wall to have two individual rooms! There are 2 reasons-
(i) creating a wall or any type of partition would make the room look much smaller and
(ii) also the client had limited budget and wanted changes with minimal changes.

Use of LED Lights

Well, Fireplaces are usually used for relaxing or similar purpose. To create more relaxing ambiance in this huge room just enough lights were used. Whereas the TV area was made to highlight like backlit LED lights for TV panel and side wall too, brighter lights, etc.

Rubber Wood for furniture

To enhance the interior of the drawing room, we planned to use wooden patterns in Rubber Wood. Rubber wood was used to highlight few elements that made the entire room lively and rich. Before you ask me “What is Rubber Wood”, let me tell you. Rubber wood is a light colored medium density tropical hardwood. Rubber wood is said to be an environmentally friendly wood as it makes use of plantation trees that have already served a useful function.Rubber-wood has very little shrinkage making it one of the more stable construction materials available for furniture, kitchen accessories and more.

Light Color Scheme

Color is a vital aspect to designing interior space. A well planned space can be enriched with use of appropriate color and color scheme. Also it is one of the quickest way change the room appearance instantly. We therefore changed the interior to light color scheme. Light colors appear very rich and also helps other elements stand out in the room.
