A Complete

Makeover

Home interiors have undergone a

sea-change in the last five years.

Today, home owners are well

educated about what they need in

their home and how they want their

house to look like design wise. The

articles in TIHG totally inspires the

reader to get updated about the

latest trends from the design world.

Views of prolific designers and their

ideation makes the articles a treat to

read. A request to the editor–It would

be nice if there can be a page on

Q&A with architects and designers.

Pictorial Hues

What makes a home so beautiful? Of

course, it’s the interiors and the decor.

Homes from across the world are some

of the best as they are less cluttered

and more spacious. One of the reasons

being – most houses are individual villas

(that’s a widely accepted concept).

Even in India, we have beautiful and

appealing homes. However, in majority

cases the interiors, the decor, the furni-

ture and the fabrics look stunning, but

there is too much of clutter all around.

I feel it’s time to look towards the West

for proper space management and

planning. We have the resources and

the talent pool, it’s just that the im-

plementation needs to be in the right

perspective.
