Are you looking for a quick fix? Pick a contractor, preferably the one who did the office in the first place. If that is not an option, ask your neighbours to refer someone who’s been working in the area. Get referred to a reliable person who will not overcharge or disappear while you deal with the debris! Hint: get a designer friend to suggest ideas. Is it a long term solution? You might want to check if the designer has an experience with the scale you are looking for. If it’s way smaller than what they are usually doing, chances are you will not get priority – and that may not end well. if it is larger than

What’s the difference?   My dad thinks I can, and should, do everything! As the daughter of an officer in the Gorkha regiment of the Indian Army, that’s the least that is expected of me.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_text_aligment="" css=".vc_custom_1474291084926{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}"][vc_column][vc_column_text] I have tried to explain to him that while I design the interiors of buildings, and I specialize in how spaces are organized, and how that organization can help my clients make more money, retain staff, have happier lives – it is unethical for me to claim to do something I am not qualified to do.

I am an interior designer. An architect can also do what I do, and this where we both can deliver:

Marriage guidance counselling is a prerequisite for the brave, path-breaking interior designer or architect who designs homes. If the client is single – no problem! The moment a significant other enters the picture, an entourage follows – parents (his and hers), favourite relatives, closest friends, (and God help us if they are from our profession!) neighbours building houses, neighbours who have never done anything to their homes but know exactly how you should yours – the list is endless, and yet all these people could be right – in their own way. I forgot the kids. Usually wrapped up in school activities (kids these days have a full life!), or married and in their own homes (I forgot the in-laws too!), kids have either the final word or do not have a say at all. But don’t get me wrong. Everybody has the right to have an opinion, and

A guest’s unrestful night can reduce your Trip Advisor rating!   Hospitality design is our specialty, and we take the business of comfort very seriously. This then is our bit towards ensuring that all those weary travelers get a good night’s sleep! Studies show that relaxation and peace of mind can be induced through the sensory responses people have to their surroundings – sight, sound, smell, touch, and feel. The environment directly impacts the human psyche and emotions, which in turn governs a person’s mood. And there is a word for this – it is called biophilia!   We first learned about biophilia from Manek Tandon, an architect and lighting designer in Delhi, and as he explained it, Biophilia explains the human being’s genetic affinity

The Garhwal region of Uttarakhand is almost entirely mountainous, with severe winters and torrential monsoons. Farming is largely terraced and subject to the vagaries of nature. Life for inhabitants is very hard, and often without the comforts of water, electricity and roads – something we city dwellers take for granted. The herding of goats in Garhwal has been the engine of the mountain economy and yet sheep and goat populations have declined drastically over the years, creating an imbalance in the finely tuned eco-system of the forest, livestock, agriculture. The youth in Garhwal migrate to the cities to look for work that is easier and pays more. The Goats Village Resort at Nagtibba was devised as the first in a series to generate employment and create a reverse migration of the youth from the cities. The chosen site was very difficult to access – 99km drive from Mussoorie,

Jobseekers are finding it difficult to find good jobs, while employers are finding it difficult to find the right people. Jobseekers are finding it difficult to find good jobs, while employers are finding it difficult to find the right people. Paradoxical, but there it is! Employers are also often desperate to hold on to employees who deliver what they are paid to – and sometimes nothing more or less. Retaining people is often hard, and business owners do not really understand what to do. The employer wants to spend as little as possible and get the most out of his/her workforce, while the employee wants the maximum salary for doing the least amount of work. Why would an interior designer be writing about what seems to be an HR issue? Let me tell you. I come across businesses in all sectors in my line of work – corporates, manufacturing units,

Once your restaurant was ready, did your designer walk away leaving you to do the best you could for the changing seasons, or to bring more customers in? From our experience of designing restaurants, cafes, bars and clubs, we know that small changes can have big impact! Consider the value of a quick makeover. Restaurants that want to keep their brand fresh need to be constantly evolving. That’s why the big brands focus their resources on brand evolution and re-branding efforts. So how can smaller operators, those without similar resources, keep their brand exciting in the mind’s eye of their customers? Sometimes a simple, precise plan in the form of a restaurant makeover can go a long way in keeping a restaurant updated and inviting. In the restaurant business, there is no status quo – there is a natural attrition that occurs with the customer base. If you are not
