Entryways often change one’s impression about a home, much before you enter it, no matter how well or not the interiors are. The folks who live on the ground floor of the apartment I live in have this front door project going on for two weeks now – for every step forward, it’s a step backward. Fixing, painting, removing the edges, redoing it, and going back and forth on the design; it’s done now (hopefully).  This is perhaps why visualising or drawing is very important in an interiors project, especially if you don’t have the luxury of time and money, to repeat the same thing.

Arya Bhangy is a renowned name for hand-carved doors in Bangalore.
