Integrates turnkey solutions
for home interiors can minimize risks of dealing with multiple suppliers and
contractors.
The wheel of change continues
to spin, not just in fashion, but also in the world of interior design. With so
much being spoken about interior design; décor has inevitably become yet
another means of making a statement. Design today is much more than aesthetics,
it is about identity. Over the past few years, there has been a gradual shift
in the taste of the customers looking to design their residences. This change
could be attributed to increased global exposure through both, travel and
media. What is prevalent today is distinct preference for an understated and
minimal look with an element of kitsch.
Visible changes
Customers are also getting
sensitized to new concepts in lighting such as mood lighting, accent lighting
and task lighting. Lighting is a powerful tool in the hands of designers to
create a wow effect.
Smart home automation is also a
new trend which is changing the way people live, it is no longer a futuristic
fantasy or just confined to the affluent class but a reality that is being
associated with mainstream design as well and is slowly becoming a part of
everyday life.
Gradual evolution
Initially concentrated in the
areas of HVAC and security systems; the market has now evolved into newer areas
like lighting systems, fire detection systems, entertainment systems and energy
management systems as well.
While most of us have a clear
picture on how we would like our space to be designed; this process can turn
into a nightmare if it involves coordinating with designers, different types of
sub-contracting professionals like carpenters, painters, masons, aluminium and
glass vendors, electricians, HVAC and MEP technicians, etc.
Problem areas
First and foremost, you have to
find the right people who have the capability to understand and execute your
design brief. Bringing them together to implement the design can be quite a
task as one contractor can’t start his work before the other finishes and each
one would have a slightly different opinion and take on your design.
At time, there are also
differences between the contractors which can have an impact on the overall
quality of the output. It can also lead to over shooting of the budget
allocated for the task.

solutions ensures a single point of contact for interiors thereby minimizing
