  80s Flair in Modern Interiors | Editor, Livin Interiors As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of interior design, it's fascinating to witness the resurgence of past trends reimagined for contemporary living. One such revival capturing the imagination of designers and homeowners alike is the return of 1980s aesthetics  a bold era known for its vibrant colors, geometric patterns, and unapologetic glamour. Today, we explore how these '80s elements are making a stylish comeback, infusing modern spaces with a nostalgic yet fresh appeal. Neon Accents: A Playful Pop Gone are the days when neon was confined to flashy signs and nightclubs. In today's interiors, neon accents are being introduced thoughtfully to add a playful pop of color without overwhelming the space. Imagine a minimalist living room brought to life with a neon art piece or subtle LED lighting that adds a contemporary edge. Designers are embracing this trend by incorporating neon hues in accessories, lig...

  'Unexpected Red' in Interior Design | Editor, Livin Interiors In the ever-evolving world of interior design, certain trends capture our collective imagination and invite us to see our spaces in a new light. One such trend that has recently gained momentum is the "Unexpected Red Theory." This concept suggests that incorporating an unanticipated splash of red into a room can elevate its aesthetic appeal, adding vibrancy and a focal point that enlivens the space. Understanding the 'Unexpected Red Theory' Originating from design discussions on platforms like TikTok, the 'Unexpected Red Theory' posits that a deliberate, yet unforeseen, addition of red in a room's decor can create a striking visual impact. This could be achieved through various elements—a bold red chair in a neutral-toned living room, a crimson vase adorning a minimalist shelf, or even a single wall painted in a rich red hue amidst subdued surroundings. The essence lies in the surpr...

  From the Editor’s Desk | Livin Interiors Blog When someone asks, “What are the best interiors?”  it’s a question that feels both simple and layered at the same time. As interior designers, we often find that people are searching not just for beauty, but for clarity. And let’s face it between the Pinterest boards, Instagram reels, budget constraints, and practical needs, it’s easy to get lost in the noise. So what actually makes an interior the best ? Let’s break it down without the fluff. Best Doesn't Mean the Most Expensive Let’s clear up a common misconception: expensive interiors aren’t always the best. We’ve worked with over 2,500 clients at Livin Interiors, and the ones who were the happiest weren’t always the ones with unlimited budgets. They were the ones who knew what they wanted or found clarity along the way. What really made their interiors work were three things: Thoughtful design Practical choices Transparent conversations Function First, Always The best i...

   Design Trends, What's New | Editor, Livin Interiors Let’s be honest, interior trends can feel a bit overwhelming sometimes. One year it’s all about bold maximalism, the next it's Japandi, and suddenly someone tells you minimalism is boring. But there’s a trend quietly making its way into real homes and we’re seeing more and more of it every day, especially in cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad . It’s called Organic Modernism , and no, it’s not as fancy (or confusing) as it sounds. What exactly is Organic Modernism? Imagine this, home that feels fresh and modern, but not cold. A living room with clean lines and lots of natural light but with warm wooden tones, stone-textured walls, and soft fabrics that make you want to sink in. That’s the beauty of Organic Modernism . It’s all about balance  between nature and design, comfort and style . Why are Indian homeowners loving it? In the past few years, our homes have changed. They’ve become more personal, more p...

Editor, Livin Interiors |  Home Design & Lifestyle “Interior design is not just about how a space looks it’s about how it works and how it makes you feel.” In a fast-changing world, where our homes have become more than just places to sleep, eat, and unwind, interior design has evolved from being a luxury to a necessity. But why, really, is interior design so important? Let’s break it down not from a designer’s pitch, but from a very human point of view. From Decoration to Daily Function There was a time when interior design was considered mostly decorative. A fresh coat of paint, a few matching curtains, and perhaps a stylish sofa would do the job. But over the years, the way we live has changed dramatically. Our homes have become multifunctional spaces  they are now our workplaces, our fitness zones, our children’s classrooms, and sometimes even our cafés and theatres. With this shift in lifestyle, the way our spaces are designed needs to shift too. That’s where tho...
