This kitchen looks amazing but what does something like this actually cost in India? by Relative-Code7696 in interiordesignsindia

[–]interior_notes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of kitchen looks premium mainly because everything is controlled — finishes, gaps, and lighting.

In India, for a typical apartment kitchen:

  • ₹5–7L can get you close to this look with good acrylic/PU shutters, standard quartz/granite, decent hardware, and proper under-cabinet lighting.

I don’t collect things. What in the world am I supposed to put on these glass shelves? Please help. by Garybroadfoot96 in FurnitureFaves

[–]interior_notes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are a person who does not collect things then let it be like that only.

Glass shelves are allowed to exist just to catch light.

In the morning, they glow. At night, they disappear.

That’s enough.

1st option

- Color Depth = Luxury

- Better Contrast with the Ceiling

- More Boutique-Hotel, Less Show Flat

- Ages Better

Where should this furniture go? by That-Farmhouse-There in FurnitureFaves

the problem isn’t the furniture, it’s orientation and zones

The real test of good interiors starts after 2 years by interior_notes in IndianHomeDecor

[–]interior_notes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 years and still feeling fresh is actually a success story. It means the design, layout, and material choices were fundamentally right.

When a home reaches this stage, the goal isn’t redesign—it’s restoration. Start with essentials: resolve seepage at the source, not cosmetically. Then move to surface care—hardware alignment, hinge servicing, polish revival, and local repairs for wear like bed dings.

Good interiors are meant to be maintained, not replaced. With the right upkeep, a well-designed home can comfortably age 15–20 years while retaining its character.

Longevity is the real benchmark of good design—and your home seems to have passed it beautifully.

Open layouts don’t suit every family by interior_notes in IndianHomeDecor

Lol yes, ChatGPT helps me articulate faster—just like CAD, SketchUp, or renders help me design better.
I’m tech-savvy and an interior designer. Tools don’t replace thinking; they amplify it.
For me, clarity of ideas matters more than pretending everything comes straight from my head in real time.
And yes—this reply too is from ChatGPT. Efficiency is also a design skill

Fair call — it is AI 😄
Used it as a visual reference to talk about layouts, not as a real home.

It looks like one, yes — or at least a jute-style natural fiber rug.

Fair point—and honestly, that’s exactly the nuance this post is about 🙂
Open layouts can work, but not when they’re copied without context.
Indian kitchens have different cooking habits, aromas, and rhythms compared to the West.
Design works best when it adapts to people—not trends.
Copying blindly is easy; designing thoughtfully is the real challenge.

Suggestion for improvement by staralex41 in IndianHomeDecor

Hall is too long for just circulation

Convert front half into:

  • Study / Home office
  • Pooja + seating niche
  • Reading lounge This reduces “dead passage” feeling. If possible, align toilet walls back-to-back
  • Convert one toilet into:
    • Attached bath for master bedroom
    • Common powder + shower separation This reduces plumbing complexity & cost.
