IT doesnt matter whether your space at home is big or small. What is important is to make proper utilisation of the given space. Using the right furniture, lighting, colours and accessories can make your decor space look extremely well arranged.
D K Jairath, COO, Hindware Home Retail which owns home furnishing brand EVOK - Home Specialty Store says that if the house size is continually shrinking, it does not mean that one cannot furnish according to ones choice, Nicely placed low lying furniture, storage units, full length mirrors with some ingenious decorative ideas can make spaces look bigger and help you create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. We offer chaise lounges, balcony chairs and table sets, sofa cum beds and recliners which fit in well to make good use of space. Priced in the range of Rs 6,000-Rs 30,000, the furniture range at Evok does not give a bulky appearance.
Infact there are small ways that can work to make for maximum utilisation of the space. Kavita Yadav, interior designer and creative director of decor brand Thesauros offers some key tips. Kavita says that keeping a few things in mind can make it easier for you to create the illusion of a larger space. It is advisable to keep the wall colours neutral to provide a good backdrop with other elements like furniture, accessories etc. When you buy furniture, opt for pieces that have a dual purpose such as fold-out beds and pieces that offer storage cabinets and drawers to keep things like DVDs or CDs, toys and paperwork out of sight. Avoid table lamps that have large shades, as they can easily become the focus of the room. Another tip is to leave the room open and make sure that you keep the same flooring throughout the area, without changing too much colour or texture from one room to another. And if its your kitchen which is highly disorganized and needs some fixing up to do, try Spanish brand Catas built in kitchen accessories which will save on space as well as make it more comfortable . The brand has an entire range of Product Chimneys, Built-in Hobs (Gas and Electric) and Built-in Ovens which will help to keep your kitchen in order. While the Built-in ovens are priced in the range of Rs 8,000-Rs 35,000, the chimneys are between Rs 8,000-Rs 1 lakh. Arrange your space keeping a few small things in mind. Organise it, make it better and enjoy the spaciousness around you.
