This is part of a series of posts that takes you through the whole process of getting interiors done for your home – whether it is new or renovation. In this post, two interior designers tell you how much to budget/allocate for interiors of your home. “What is your budget?” “What is your budget?” “What is your budget?” We had no frigging clue. And you know how frustrating it is to keep hearing a question when you are not clued in. This is one question that all interior designers ask you and sometimes even begin with when you approach them for interior design of your home. And yes, I am not ashamed to admit that we had no frigging clue of what it should cost. We knew roughly the stuff we wanted to get done in the house and what we did not want. But, until we started doing our…

This Chettinad inspired house was all about going back to roots, for its owners Sai and Anusha. The 2,500 sq.ft style Chettinad architecture style apartment in Bangalore has been designed by Jyothika Baleri of Destination Designs.

Planning to buying a old home and renovate it on a budget? Then this is for you. You will discover which interior designer to connect with, and garden, flooring and furnishing ideas.

What to consider when renovating a home Typical questions that would arise in one’s mind are: does the house need to be demolished completely? what architectural features can I retain? how much of the wood can be reclaimed and put…

You know you are in for a visual treat looking at this picture, right? This is entrance of a Good Home earth. So, just let your imagination run wild for what to expect inside. Real wild..you will not be disappointed. For the past three weeks, we have been going around town looking for wooden pillars for the pooja room for our home. The pooja area is not a separate room, but stands in the center of the house. So to make it a separate entity, we designed it as a central unit supported by four pillars with rafters running on the top. One challenging aspect was no support for pillars (double ceiling area) and no adjacent walls. And, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to secure them with screws to the ground. Thoons, thinnai, verandah, uthram(rafters), oonjal, the big wooden kadhavu (door), niche for lighting lamps, mitham, ammi, kalloral, and vengalam…
