TOP TIP
123RF
RUG CARE
With foyers, its all about that banging first impression that you need
to make, since it is what your guests will see right away. As far as
decor is concerned, it is also an area of limitless possibilities. For a
high-traffic entryway, it makes sense to include furniture that has
plenty of organisational solutions built in. Add a bit of interest to the
design by bringing in a mix of your best accessories, such as a special
family memorabilia or favourite paintings. If its compact, make an
impact: A slim and sleek shelf topped with a gallery wall of precious
photos. A vignette never goes astray on a side table.
Lets admit it, we live in our kitchens. It is more than just a space for
eating and cooking. In fact, most of the all the action in the home
takes place right here. For a quick revamp, consider an open and
clean shelving design for your kitchen Shelving in place of upper
cabinets makes the room look lighter and airier. Also, a blend of
hidden and open storage will ensure everythings at hand and easily
available. Ceiling tiles, which imitate the antique look, or laminate
like surfaces which fit the colour scheme you have in mind, work very
well as an instant transformation idea.

There are some things in life that never go out of style and
GoodHomes is a classic in every sense of the word. It is, in
my opinion, of the best design magazines in India, and
I proudly display it in my library. I am a house-proud graphic
designer and love changing the look-and-feel of my abode with
the changing seasons. So, whether its the lounge area, a cosy
reading corner, terrace gardens or even something interesting
for childrens spaces, I admire how the magazine each time,
comes up with ideas that really work and look stunning. And
speaking of childrens spaces, I am waiting in eager anticipation
for the May edition. I know I will be surprised and with the
small makeover Im planning for my toddlers space, I know the
childrens special will leave me with ideas galore.

Wow! Thank you, Shikha. I am touched by your encouraging

1 COLOUR
Who said you shouldnt play with
colour on your walls? And I dont
just mean a single combination. If
you like colour around you, there are
ways to make it work. You can either
take help from the experts at your
neighbourhood colour store, or then
experiment with a palette of your
choice, on your own.
2 TEXTURE
Textured walls add effect. So, if you
want to enhance a certain dimension
or scheme, go with an appropriate
textured finish for the walls in that
area. In fact, I suggest you check out
the options in leather (clad) wall tiles.
3 DESIGN
Wallpapers are the first thing that
come to mind when you think of
design for walls. You could even try
a combination of paint and paper for
an unusual scheme.
4 MOTIF
This one would be the easiest way to
add interest to otherwise flat walls.
You can either use wall decals or then
pick up stencils to bring in quirk.

One of the few things that I have never taken a chance with
in interiors is flooring. Its too spread out an area and too
cumbersome a process for re-dos. So do whatever you have to,
to get it right in the first shot.

FLOORING
2 TEXTURE
As much as I like trying out
new things, I wouldnt really
play with too much texture
on the floor. Considering
the high wear-and-tear
quotient, any kind of texture
will attract and retain dirt. I
would, however, bear in mind
the area and look at anti-skid
options. Another quirky area
for trying out texture with
your flooring is the dado
(skirting). For added effect,
opt for a contrasting colour.
3 PATTERN
Like Ive said before, the
options are many, you should
be open to experimenting.
Heavily patterned, vintagelooking floor tiles are making
a smart re-entry into homes.
Within this genre itself, there
are a lot of combinations
that you can play with. You
can even create your own
pattern on the floor with a
combination of stone and
mosaic its also a great way
to bring in a dash of colour.

Fabric is perhaps the easiest way to
bring about a change in the overall
scheme of things. Theres a vast
range of choice. I like to work with
slip covers for my seating it gives
me the freedom to change the look
around without creating a dent in
my wallet. Add to that, a rug here, a
panel there, and voil! Ive refreshed
my living area for the season.
1 COLOUR
Solids arent something Id take too
much stress over, when it comes
to upholstery and soft furnishings.
If you want to go for a solid colour
somewhere in your living space,
leave that choice for the end, once
youve got your prints and patterns
in place. You could then pick out the
contrasting or complementing solid
colours from them.
PRINT AND
2 TEXTURE
There are no hard and fast rules
when it comes to working with prints.
Just remember, if it works for you, it
works, period. One of the few things
you can play with, in terms of prints,
is layering. Keep an eye on the scale
and layer your scheme from the
largest print in the background to the
smallest in the foreground.
