New Delhi: Designer modular kitchens, grandiose bedrooms, fancy bathrooms, ornate furniture - home fashion has now gone even beyond personal dressing. The "in" thing today is dressing up your house.
Be it cushions, curtains, table coverings, paintings, statues and even paint textures, home accessories are now ultra-modern and chic, designer- and custom-made for individual clients.
When asked what people generally like to get designed the most, George, an expert with Concept Interiors of Bangalore, told IANS over phone: "Well, people mostly love getting their kitchens done. Granite is most preferred for kitchens as it is scratch resistant."
Customers are finicky when it comes to the colour of their kitchen counters, "People usually go for safe colours. Almost 70 percent of the people stick to green and black," he said.
Speaking of what is in vogue and widely in demand, Lipika Sud from Dimension Designers here said: "Contemporary furniture in teakwood is in."
Praveen, a designer from Aarson's Interior's here in the capital, added: "People are basically looking for something different and pay close attention to detail."
