Many forget to design enough storage spaces in the house even while busily decorating the interiors. Lack of storage space would force the inhabitants to scatter things around which would definitely ruin the grace and stylish look inside the house.

Here are a few points to keep in mind while constructing the house:

» The cost of the construction materials and the labor wages keep altering. So it is wise to save some extra money than the planned budget.

» A proper floor plan is essential to design a stylish interior. Each and every feature including the type of granite or tile that are to be paved on the floor should be decided even before the construction of the house begins. Tiles in matte finish are suitable to pave on the bathroom floor. Restricting expensive tiles to the common areas in the house would significantly help to lower the expenses.

» Lighting plays a prominent role in elevating the look and mood of the interiors. LED lights in warm tones would add a special charm to the rooms. The lighting should also compliment well with the color of the walls. Spot lighting can be used to highlight the wall art or curios. Stylish lights in different models and ranges are easily available in Bangalore, than the ones found in Kerala.

» Usually rooms are built at a height of 10 feet. If it is raised up to 13 feet, it would help to reduce the temperature inside the house and maintain a pleasant atmosphere. Besides, it would make the house look more spacious.

» Monotony of repeating colours and themes could be avoided if different themes are followed in each room. However, there should be uniformity in the designs of curtains, wall paper, paintings, bed spreads and curios in a room.

» The space below the stairway could be turned into an excellent office space. A pebble court or wardrobe too could be arranged here. If this space is left free, it would gradually turn dusty and mar the entire look of the interiors.

» If the white color theme is followed in rooms, it could be turned lively by adding eye catching decor items, colorful furnishings or unique designs on the floor tiles.

Do not try to recreate the luxurious features of a hotel room in a house. Here utility and comfort should be given importance.

» Contrasting colour themes and patterns should be followed in rooms, so that there would be a sense of continuity when one enters one room from another.
