  Kashmiri Style Interiors | Livin Interiors Kashmiri interiors reflect a rare balance between art and tranquility. Rooted in nature and nurtured by centuries of craftsmanship, this design style transforms homes into soulful spaces filled with warmth, texture, and intricate detailing. It’s not just a style; it’s a reflection of the Kashmiri way of life- serene, graceful, and deeply connected to nature. The Essence of Kashmiri Interiors Kashmiri homes are built around the idea of comfort and connection. Given the region’s cold climate, interiors are designed to be warm, cozy, and welcoming. Thick walls, deep-set windows, and wooden ceilings are more than just aesthetic choices; they serve a purpose to retain heat and create a sense of intimacy. Each element, from the carved furniture to the woven rugs, feels handcrafted with care. The spaces are layered with textures, colors, and patterns that narrate stories of heritage and artistry. Wood – The Heart of Kashmiri Design If there’...

  3BHK Home in Bengaluru | Livin Interiors A 3BHK home gives you room to grow, it’s spacious enough for a family, yet manageable when planned right. In Bengaluru, where space and functionality go hand in hand, designing a 3BHK calls for clarity, balance, and a bit of foresight. Here’s a simple guide to help you plan one that feels personal, practical, and built to last. Start With Purpose Before thinking of furniture or finishes, outline what each room will truly serve. Will one bedroom double as a study, guest room, or kids’ play zone? Do you need a separate dining or prefer an open layout with a breakfast counter? Are you planning to rent it out or make it your long-term home? When every space has a purpose, design decisions come naturally. Layout and Flow In a 3BHK, circulation is key. Keep the living and dining zones open but clearly defined. Position bedrooms so they offer privacy and quiet. Choose a kitchen layout that supports your cooking habits, parallel or U-shape...

  Planning Your 2 BHK Home in Bengaluru | Livin Interiors Buying or redesigning a 2 BHK in Bengaluru is exciting; you get enough space to be comfortable, but not so much that you’re overwhelmed. Given your background with Livin Interiors and interest in kids’ spaces, this is a great fit. Here are key essentials you’ll want to cover. Location & Orientation Check how the apartment is oriented (which direction the living room, bedrooms and balcony face). A good orientation ensures better daylight and ventilation. For instance, good balconies boost cross-ventilation and natural light. Consider neighborhood infrastructure: schools, hospitals, work commute, traffic. Bengaluru’s micro-markets vary a lot in connectivity and convenience. Be aware of building policies and society by-laws (for example, balcony use, enclosing or not). Layout & Flow For a 2 BHK, open plan living + dining often works best (makes the space feel larger). Then plan the bedrooms so they have ...

  Courtyards in Indian Homes | Livin Interiors In Indian architecture, the courtyard or aangan   has always been the heart of a home. It’s where families gather, children play, elders relax, and the day’s rhythm unfolds naturally. Even in modern homes, this traditional feature continues to hold deep cultural and functional value, offering both beauty and balance to interior spaces. A courtyard connects indoor and outdoor life effortlessly. It brings in natural light and ventilation, reducing dependence on artificial cooling or lighting. The open space allows homes to breathe, creating a sense of calm and harmony that’s often missing in compact urban designs. For homes in warmer climates, it also helps regulate temperature, keeping the interiors cooler and more comfortable throughout the day. Designing a courtyard in today’s context doesn’t always mean having a large open area. Even a small central atrium, sky-lit corner, or indoor garden can serve as a modern interpretation. C...

  Ikebana | Livin Interiors In today’s fast-paced world, homes often become extensions of our routines rather than reflections of peace. This is where Ikebana , the ancient Japanese art of flower arrangement, brings a refreshing perspective. It’s not just about placing flowers in a vase, it’s about creating balance, mindfulness, and a deeper connection between nature and space. The Essence of Ikebana Ikebana translates to “living flowers.” Rooted in Zen philosophy, it focuses on harmony, simplicity, and the natural beauty of each element. Unlike Western floral arrangements that emphasize abundance and color, Ikebana highlights line, form, and the use of negative space. Every branch, leaf, and petal has a purpose and position, symbolizing the relationship between heaven, earth, and humanity. Why Ikebana Belongs in Modern Interiors Indian homes are evolving, blending functionality with aesthetics. Ikebana complements this beautifully. Its minimalist approach suits contemporary interi...

  Types of Separators in Modern Interiors | Livin Interiors Open-concept homes are beautiful, but sometimes you need a sense of boundary without building walls. That’s where separators or partitions come in. They define spaces, improve functionality, and add visual appeal- all while keeping the flow of light and air intact. Here’s a look at the different types of separators used in modern interior design. 1. Wooden Partitions A timeless choice, wooden separators bring warmth and texture. They can be crafted with solid panels, slats, or jaali-style carvings to suit both traditional and contemporary interiors. Often used between living and dining areas, wood adds character and blends beautifully with most design themes. 2. Glass Partitions Glass separators are perfect for compact homes. They create divisions without blocking light, maintaining an open and airy feel. Frosted or fluted glass offers privacy, while clear glass works best for minimal, modern setups. Black metal frames a...

  The Right Time to Start Your Interior Work | Livin Interiors Building a home is one of life’s most rewarding experiences. Every brick, wall, and finish comes together to create a space that reflects your personality and comfort. But many homeowners face one common question during construction,  when should we start the interior design work? The timing of your interior planning plays a big role in how your dream home finally turns out. Starting too early may lead to rework, and starting too late can delay handover or increase costs. Understanding the ideal stage helps you strike the right balance between structure and style. 1.

At this stage, you already know the dimensions of each room, making it the perfect time to plan furniture layouts, ...
