A good chimney isn’t a luxury anymore; it’s almost a necessity if you want your kitchen (and the rest of your house) to stay fresh and grease-free. So, let’s break it down simply, how to pick the right size, suction power, type, and what kind of budget you should keep in mind in 2025. First, the size of the chimney should match your hob or cooktop. The thumb rule is simple: the chimney width should be equal to or slightly more than your cooktop.

Most Indian homes now have 3-4 burner hobs that are 60-75 cm wide, so a 60 cm or 75 cm chimney works perfectly....

Image
  Hiring an Interior Design Service | Livin Interiors When Ananya and her husband moved into their new 3BHK apartment in Bangalore, they were full of excitement. Like many first-time homeowners, they spent nights scrolling through Pinterest, saving color palettes, furniture ideas, and lighting inspiration. Their plan was simple; they’d do it all themselves. A few weeks later, their living room looked nothing like the pictures they’d saved. The wall paint felt off under real lighting. The sofa was too bulky for the space. And the custom carpenter delayed work for the third time that month. What started as a dream project turned into a series of stressful weekends. That’s when they decided to call Livin Interiors . The Shift from Chaos to Clarity The first thing the design team did wasn’t to show furniture catalogs or fancy layouts. They listened. They asked about how Ananya’s family used their space, where they liked to sit, how often they entertained, and what kind of mood they wan...
