Cushion Magic

Sofas; given the design boom in this era, there are thousands of varieties in the market that can cater to our needs, aesthetics, customized options and many more.

When it comes to interiors, sofas are an integral part of the decor, aesthetic elements and a major attractive option to complete the look.

Well, sofas alone cannot bring in the ambiance but cushions are an integral to add that extra beauty to any sofa. 

Even an old and worn out sofa can get some great makeover just by adding right size and textured cushions. Just like sofas, cushions also have a wide variety range and very big market. This post brings you some  sofas styled with complementing cushions and you can notice the glamour they add in.

When I take up design, I make sure to find some unique variety of cushions not only to add glamour but also some times to camouflage the client's existing stuff which may not be great picks (be it a sofa or a seating).

Hope you liked the variations and got inspired with the new styles. Even a simple sofa can be transformed into a piece of art with beautiful cushions.

Ethnic Home - Goa

This beautiful space has stolen my heart...I was so smitten by the interiors which elegantly juxtaposed ethnic elements and modern day needs. Antonia Graham is the owner of the space which is located in Goa. Featured in this month's Elle Decor magazine, entire home carries simple hues without overshadowing the elements.

What is most attractive is the central courtyard of the building, many old style homes in the south Indian villages still do have this type of courtyard which not only takes in the light but also creates a spacious feeling. 

Many times I mentioned that interiors are clustered with many decorative objects which take away the actual functionality. However this space seems to use the right amount of objects in right places with least cluster.

With a simple colour pallette and structural elements made out of traditional materials, the interior hues bring back so many childhood memories to many of us. 

Canopy bed was an integral part of our grand parents homes, and it was passed as legacy to the next generations until late 80s. 

I have always had great liking for canopy beds, and in process of getting one made.

Pre-Fab Sustainable Homes

Hi all,

Sorry for being away from this space for a while. However we are back with a bang. Yes, a very interesting post. Have you seen ready-made homes, we understand the idea of ready-made home is something that is built and ready to occupy. But we are not talking about this. Homes that are customized to your taste, add or remove features just like a car. 

Dig in for details. 

This is from the Simpatico System, which was developed around a collection of interchangeable modular building blocks that can be combined to create unlimited semi-custom home designs. The biggest advantage of these homes are, that they are incredibly flexible and fit in all types of environments like narrow lots, townhomes, ranch homes, vacation homes, accesory structures, sloped lots etc; 

There are many advantages with these homes like, streamline system, saves money, organised process, and time saving. Simple 5 step process like reviewing the site, designing to suit your lifestyle and requirements, engineering the construction, fabricating and delivering. In other its a simple modular set up which is quick to build and fits in all kinds of spaces.

Given the space challenges, and mounting construction costs, resource allocation challenges, this modular pre-fab home seems a good solution.

Moreover, it is very sustainable, as the interiors include energy star appliances, low flow plumbing fixtures, glass mosaic tiles, bamboo & cork flooring, low or no VOC paints, hydronic radiant floor heating etc; If you think its too pricy,  they are very much on par or sometimes less than the conventional pricing (150$/SqFt).
