There are many flooring choices and the best way to make a decision is to weigh the pros and cons of each to decide what fits one's lifestyle or the function of the space the best. There isn't any "one," perfect material that would require no care, but here are some choices to consider:

• Wood will provide warmth and character. Engineered, pre-finished woods with a polyurethane finish wear well and can be refinished at least once after some years of use. It is not cold to the touch and is not as hard on the feet as tile and stone. Woods with a distressed look will show fewer scratches than those that are smooth.
• Laminate floors have become very popular lately. They are not as expensive as wood and come with good warranties. However, they are prone to scratching, but unlike wood cannot be refinished. Walking on laminate floors creates a "hollow" sound that some people like.
• Stones such Italian marble & granites are used a lot for flooring by interior designers. This floor is very elegant, durable and apt in Indian climates but cold to walk on, and appropriate precautions needs to be taken to keep from staining. Grout lines for stone can be very thin and this appeals to most people. It is also ideal for staircase treads and risers.
• Ceramic and Porcelain tile can be cheaper than stone and there are many tiles that mimic the look of stone. Tile, like stone, is cold and hard, and the grout tends to discolour over time. Tile does not need to be sealed and can take a lot of wear and tear.
• Woollen carpets are available in form of wall to wall carpets or in form of a decorative rug. They are cosy to walk on but are high on maintenance. A decorative rug can create the right statement for the room.
• Vinyl flooring are fairly new to the flooring family and can simulate wood, stone, and other materials. This flooring although cheaply priced has a high wear and tear and does not look very classy.

LTD will guide you to select that 'perfect' piece.

You love the wide open spaces and want to bring the outside in. You may prefer contemporary interior design and think of your personal decorating style as "light and airy". Here are some tips on achieving that sense of spaciousness in your rooms.

• Lighting: To create a feeling of largeness in your room, you will want to eliminate the shadows that tend to slice a room up into smaller spaces. Work on lighting the room with a soft, even light. Diffused, ambient lighting will tend to enlarge the room.
• Colour: Soft colours and monochromatic colour schemes will make the room look spacious. Use white, beige, gray or cool pastels on your walls and floors to make them recede.
• Textures: Keep your surfaces free of heavy textures. Smoother surfaces tend to reflect more light and make the room feel larger. Avoid heavy textured flooring. Choose tile over patterned or textured carpeting. Reflective and shiny surfaces such as mirror also can be used effectively.
• Furniture: Selection and placement of furniture in a room is crucial in defining the space. Keep the largest pieces against the walls whenever possible. Select pieces that are not very heavy and are finished in materials that reflect light. It is critical to use as few furniture pieces as possible in the room & consulting DESSIGN7 INTERIORS PVT. LTD will help you avoid over crowding the space.

You want your room to be warm & cozy. Here are some things to consider when creating a more intimate space while designing interiors.

• Lighting: The use of indirect lights will create a warm & cozy atmosphere in the room. Use of warm white & soft yellow lights rather than white light will create a warmer glow.
• Colour: Choose strong colours for your walls and floor. They will tend to bring them in closer towards one another. A dark wooden floor with highlighted walls of brown or deep red, blue or green tones will help create the feeling of a cozier space.
• Textures: Heavy, soft textures add warmth to a space. Faux fur or hand knitted throws on a sofa, plush carpeting and curtains are all textural elements to consider.
• Patterns: The use of pattern in a room can also lend a sense of coziness to the space. Oriental rugs and printed wallpapers, patterned upholstery fabrics - used alone or in combinations; the more patterns in a room, the cozier it will feel. Care must be taken when combining patterns.
• Furniture & Fabrics: Choose dark finishes to create a sense of the piece being larger than it actually is. Heavy textured fabrics and large patterns will add a cozy feeling to a sofa or chair. The rule of thumb, especially in a smaller space is "Don't overdo it" & hence it is advisable to get DESSIGN7 INTERIORS PVT. LTD to create your very own cozy nest.

Whilst planning a layout for your premise the first thing is to decide the actual use of the space. Whether you are planning an office or a residence, or whether the space is ideal to be a bedroom or a living room.

Spending on interiors is a costly affair and should be planned keeping a futuristic view of at least 5yrs ahead. A major influence on planning a space is ones desire to adhere to beliefs like vastu, feng shui, etc. Any inclination to such beliefs should be considered in the initial stages of planning a interior layout to prevent re-working later on. Accessibility to services like water supply, drainage, electrical, etc is quite relevant & need expert interior planning. Improper planning of services can create constant problems in the future. Lastly, remember the surroundings of your place a key factor in planning your space. You would want the most used space to have the best view, natural light and ventilation.

There are various kinds of lighting available depending on your use of space. Firstly, you have general lighting which is used for good visibility and for performing normal tasks like moving around without bumping into things or for recognising people and identifying things. Secondly for certain functions like reading, working, and shaving or for performing specific detailed tasks you require additional light also called as task lighting. The intensity of this lighting (or the lux levels) is more than general lighting and depending on the duration of task, this lighting should be well optimised. This lighting should also be planned in a manner to be free from shadow of the surrounding influences.
And thirdly, there are times when lighting is used to create a specific mood. A dimly lit room can add a touch of romance to it or red light can add certain dynamism to the space. Such use of lighting used to evoke a particular response is called as mood lighting.
Based on the type of light source used to achieve the above ambiences, lighting can be classified into direct lighting, indirect lighting and spot lighting. Direct lighting is when the source of the light is visible to the eye. This type of light can sometimes cause glare but it is most economical because there is minimum loss of energy. Indirect lighting is when the actual source of the light (ie the bulb or the tube) is not visible but only the illumination can be seen. Even though there is loss of energy in this kind of light source, it is mainly preferred because it prevents direct glare and helps create the right mood setting. Spot lights are high energy lights, intensified on a smaller area to highlight or focus attention on something particular. These are commonly used to highlight pictures, sculpture, object of art and particular merchandise.
There are various colours of lights also available to suit individual tastes right from white light to cream, yellow, blue, red, green, etc. The right combination of lighting arrangement can give different feel to a particular interior space. There are various fittings and fixtures available for different kinds of lighting arrangement and an DESSIGN7 INTERIORS PVT. LTD can help you finalise these, to ensure your room is optimally lit for the desired purpose.

Ergonomic interior design is basically referred to designing as per dimensions comfortable to the people you are designing for. It refers to adhering to certain standard measurements considered while designing. For example, the sofa height should be 1'-6"; or the kitchen platform should be 2'-8" in height; or a computer table should be 24" in depth. These sizes are standard but individual customisation can be done when ones requirements deviate from the standards. For example with TFT monitors the computer table can be 1'-6"deep; or for an Indian baithak the height can come down to 9". At DESSIGN7 INTERIORS PVT. LTD we optimise your space using these customisations; which is why we offer you custom built furniture as per your requirements as compared to readymade furniture.

It is common knowledge that walls and ceiling are painted with various types of paints like lustre paint, plastic paint, oil bound distemper, oil paint, dry distemper, etc. The most common of these are lustre paint because it is washable and gives a good sheen to the painted surface. These paints are normally used for all surfaces, but to break the monotony of the space, a highlighter wall is usually introduced to give character to the room. The highlighter wall can be simply just a different colour shade in paint or the use a different material such as texture paint, tile/stone cladding or wallpapers. Wall papers: - These are available in various shades and designs (over 5000 designs) and in a wide price band ranging from the Indian to imported varieties. Good quality wall papers are imported, vinyl coated and washable. Although wallpapers are marginally expensive to texture paints, the advantage is that it is printed and the final product (with reference to exact shade and design) is approved before the installation. Texture Paint: - These are available in customised shades and designs; though limited when compared to wallpaper. Texture paints are manually done on site and therefore variation from start point to end point of the job is possible, depending upon the skill of the labourer, as it is a manual job. Tiles or stone cladding: - This is generally more expensive than texture paint and wallpaper and there is also a limited variety available as compared to the above. The major advantage is that it provides a good relief work to the wall surface and ideal for external areas. Deciding the right highlight for your space is a critical decision as one can easily be easily confused & intimidated with the variety.
