Good morning! I didn’t imagine in my wildest dreams that a bed & breakfast will have some of the most valuable lessons in design and decorating! And, that’s exactly what I discovered on seeing the pictures of Amarya Haveli in Delhi.

It’s the clever choice of color, simple fabrics, alternating colors for walls and ideal positioning of period furniture that does the trick. What I liked best about their portfolio was some of the ideas are quite simple to adapt at our homes on a shoestring budget. For instance, this orange wall as a backdrop with hand painted figurines.

Tell me what is so out of the ordinary in this room that you can’t accomplish. But, then there lies the brilliance to make something look outstanding out of something ordinary. So, hats off to that! The rooms are named Jaipur room, Bodhgaya room , Cochin room, Gujarat room and so on to reflect the design elements.

Love the pink and the mirror above it. Would love to have a room a like this but don’t know if the boys in the house would tease me :)

Are you itching to transform your bedroom, study or, even the living room, for that matter? Tired of seeing the same interiors when you walk in at the end of the day? Has it been a long time since you got that painting job done or spent some money renovating your apartment?

Walls are the most easy spaces in a house to bring about a quick transformation without spending a fortune. There is also enough room for experimentation when it comes to walls. I present you with three quick ways to re-do one wall of a room under Rs.10,000.  I say, one wall, because this wall become the focal point of the room and overdoing it can make it look cluttered, small and remove the magic.

1. Cladding: It is a technique for applying non-structural material to the walls of a room. More and more apartment owners are choosing to apply wall cladding to their living rooms, of late. It was a popular decor option for exterior walls but cladding has now moved indoors. Materials range from stones and tiles to fabric and wood. Stone cladding in earthy colors such as sandstone and beige are very popular. Fabric cladding is not very ideal for tropical conditions. A 8*10 ft wall will roughly cost you Rs.7,000 for stone cladding including labor. stones and mosaics come in a wide range of colors and sizes. It takes about 4-6 hours to complete a wall of this size. Once cladding is done, it is easier to maintain. Of course, there is a downside to every good thing. You cannot change the look of the wall easily.
