10 Things to Know Before Interior Designing Your House
Many mistake interior designing for choosing the right colors and furniture that match, but it goes way beyond that. Interior designing is the art of transforming buildings into livable spaces.
Despite it all coming down to just bricks on bricks with an ample spread of mortar to hold them together, each house radiates a unique ambiance.
Some suffocate you while some leave you out of breath. You can’t wait to get out of a grandeur mansion with shiny walls and oddly placed furniture. But time flies in a humble abode with a mesmerizing combination of colors and indoor plants. Interior designing is, in fact, a multifaceted discipline that requires creative, technical, and practical knowledge.
Planning to decorate the interior of your house?
Renjith Associates is one of the leading interior designing companies in Kochi. With the help of our accomplished interior designing team under the leadership of Mr. Renjith Puthenpurayil, you will be able to enhance the aesthetic as well as functional aspects of your house.
Here are a few guidelines we follow at Renjith Associates Interior Designing, Kochi, to make interiors livable, spacious, and easy on the eye.
1. Divide your needs into two – general/common and special needs.
Before decorating your interior, make sure you have listed out your requirements. Defining your needs gives you a clear picture of the project and saves you a tremendous amount of time, money, and effort.
2. Leave room for a shoe rack at the entrance
It is often the little things that take the design a notch up. Like a shoe rack at the entrance. Nothing robs the beauty of a well-designed space than the multitude of shoes laid carelessly at the entrance.
3. And.. a foyer console
A foyer console is a small table with a storage facility placed at the entrance of a building. It will be a great place to stash away your car keys, home keys, shopping bags, umbrellas, and basically anything that you often find yourself rummaging through the whole house before heading out somewhere. With a foyer console, life does get a lot easier!
4. Arrange a space where everyone can gather together to watch the TV comfortably
In the era of wall-mounted TVs, it is integral to install a TV rack equipped with all features. A professional interior designer will place the TV at an optimal distance to get a direct view from the couches and chairs. This will also save your neck and eyes from incurring any damage.
5. Design the dining hall to blend with the rest of the house
Dining halls are best designed taking into consideration the size of the family. A larger than life dining table bought anticipating a once-in-a-year party will be a huge blunder.
6. A kitchen should be modeled only after consultation with people who spend the most time in there.
Their height and preferences will help a great deal in the process. The kitchen is the most important part of a house. Organizing a kitchen demands a lot of attention to space planning and positioning.
Make sure a 26 feet gap is left between the sink, fridge, and cooking area which are together called the work triangle.
Being the place where the culinary magic happens, you need to design your kitchen bearing in mind ease of maintenance and ease of working. The health of all your family members depends on how efficient your kitchen is.
With the help of our interior designing team, you will be able to design a modular kitchen that couples spectacular designs with practical features.
7. Provide enough storage facility in the bedroom
Since bedroom is that place where one unwinds a day’s tension and refreshes for the next, it is important that it is clutter-free. To ensure ease of maintenance and comfort, these features are must-haves in a bedroom:
- Bed, of course.
- Side-tables to keep low-lit lamps. The drawers in the table can be used to stash away electronic devices, wallets, home activation devices, and more.
- Wall-mounted wardrobes to hang and organize your clothes.
- Study table.
8. Again, provide enough storage facility in the toilet
A clutter-free bathroom and toilet will help you kick-start your day with a clutter-free mind and body. While designing your bathroom, you may consider building storage on empty walls, behind the mirrors, or at the bottom of the washbasin. Don’t forget to pick the flooring material, wall claddings, and sanitarywares based on their ease of maintenance.
9. Laundry space!
Converting the study table to an ironing table and hiding away the washing machine and laundry supplies in the kitchen can be exhausting. You need not set aside a room exclusively to do laundry. Dedicate a space with a cabinet for all your laundry needs in the terrace or the work area.

6. Durable Decor
You can’t stop raving about this newly built house with breathtaking features. Six months into housewarming, you walk into the same house, but see a crumbling building in its place. The fake panels have come off the flimsy furniture, the curtains have paled, the hinges on the doors have broken, and the cushions on the couch are reeking with an odd smell.
Does this sound familiar? In house decor, durability should be the most prime factor while selecting materials. We use high-quality hard-wearing materials that will last long with proper care.
At Renjith Associates, we believe that everyone deserves to live in a space that brings them comfort and joy regardless of their financial constraints.
