A fully-functional Utility Room Makes Your 2 BHK & 3 BHK Home Truly Complete: A Post-Pandemic Perspective For Home Buyers.
Why Utility Rooms Matter in Indian Homes | Avisun Properties The pandemic made the home buyers realize two things- 1. We need more space in our homes for a better living experience, 2. Spaces both inside our homes and apartment-complex needs to be efficiently designed to make for a self-sufficient, efficient and ‘safe’ living. A situation like a lockdown puts sudden restrictions on access to the outside world, and you need to be prepared to take care of your washing, cleaning, ironing needs, and storage needs yourself, should an eventuality arises. Being adequately prepared, and being self-reliant is a necessity now! Even in normal and happy times, for a family to live comfortably, and efficient ‘UTILITY ROOM’ is a must!! Besides, in the post-COVID era, work-from-home realities require a home buyer to be prepared for, and without a fully functional ‘utility room’, life would be extremely difficult! In this article we shall discuss the important aspect of the ‘utility room’, and what should go into making your utility room effective, efficient and functional. Utility room and usage thereof is something a home buyer needs to consciously think about both before and after purchasing the dream home. In fact, a dream home is possible only with a well-planned, and well-thought-out utility room! Let’s begin… Our home and the factor of ‘spaciousness’: homebuyer thoughts post-pandemic With forced confinement due to pandemics, those who were earlier not interested in owning a home of their own have also begun to realize the importance of it. A lot of people who earlier thought of owning smaller or studio apartments closer to their place of work are also re-thinking and becoming inclined toward bigger homes even if these are away from their place of work. Besides the number of bedrooms, ONE utility room to cater to the entire family is a must-have!! In fact, the dream home now needs to be a more ‘real’ home in terms of meeting the demands of space utilisation, and having a special focus on UTILITY, especially during trying or crippling circumstances like a lockdown. Even otherwise, we need to have a home that enables us to lead a comfortable life by allowing us to deal with our day-to-day needs of laundry, ironing, storage and weather-specific seasonal needs that come occasionally. Importance of ‘Utility’ area in our apartment or independent home Although general utilities like water, electricity, gas connection, Wi-Fi connection etc. are part of the utilities of the apartment, the residents need a utility area or a separate utility room for washing machine, dryer, manual-drying of clothes, storing house-keeping related things like home/kitchen cleaning materials, broom, mop, gas-cylinder, as well as other storage items. Unlike independent bungalows, the space available is limited in an apartment. With many floors, and a limited square foot area available, the balcony, study, puja or kitchen is NOT the space people want to use to keep washing/cleaning equipment and many more bulky storage items. A utility room is normally stationed right adjacent to the kitchen in apartments or independent homes. Meaning and Uses of a ‘Utility room’ A utility room is to be used for every square inch of the space to provide optimum UTILITY. By utility we mean a room within a house where we store gadgets or equipment that we DO NOT use in our day-to-day activities. The term ‘Utility’ per se refers to items designed for their usefulness or practical usage. Hence, most items kept in the utility room have functional attributes required for a comfortable living experience. Also, these items need to be worked upon. So, it becomes an area where the resident actually expends hard labour. Unless you work hard, you cannot wash your clothes, dry them up, and iron them. It requires physical labour. So, a utility room is also like a gymnasium where you need to work out to get the desired results! Therefore utility room offers several uses, however, it essentially serves as an area for laundry purposes. This room is well-equipped with all the laundry equipment, additives and accessories such as a washing machine, front-loading tumble dryer, boards and electric iron. The utility room is also meant for use as used for cupboard/wardrobe/closet and storage. The ‘Utility room’ is actually meant to be for the closet, since a closet (hidden wardrobe) is meant to keep personal belongings that are kept away. The literal meaning of a closet is a small ‘private’ room or cabinet for storing clothing, food or kitchen utensils. Hence, even the ‘utility room’ needs to give the homeowner a sense of ‘carefully guarded privacy’ inside the ‘utility room’. In places where winters are harsh or tend to have to change weather like rains, the utility room would contain or store ‘seasonal clothing’ like winter clothing, rain protection over-coats, umbrellas, etc. that do not find daily use. The Utility space storage spaces would contain other appliances as well, which would generally be located next to the kitchen considering the daily usage factor. Adequate ventilation, furnaces, water connection, drainage, and water heater need to be well-incorporated in this room. We even find more shelves and garbage storing ducts in the utility since it is cordoned off from the rest of the home. This ensures that the rest of the home does NOT get too congested. Hence, the utility room takes all the burden of the home and makes a convenient. Ten Tips for designing a ‘fully functional’ utility room Not all homes have provision for a utility room. If you are lucky to have your builder providing you with one, invest some good thought to make it work for you! The utility room is the place where the hardest of work happens. Being the hardest-working space which requires physical labour, you need to plan your utility room with lots of love and affection. A good utility room needs to be efficient, well-planned, provide you with adequate storage and yet have beautiful decorative touch. After all, you will be spending a lot of your time in the utility room, and this room

Small bathroom layout: Ways to make small bathrooms look bigger and more spacious in Indian homes- part 1
. Small bathroom layout: Ways To make small bathrooms look bigger and more spacious in Indian homes- part I What Indian home buyers struggle with most is maximizing space while designing their bathrooms. Living, kitchen, dining, and bedrooms are the places where you spend most of your time. This is why most builders in India give lesser space for your bathrooms and try to give you more space in other rooms. Even the home buyers don’t mind it, but we also don’t mind our bathroom looking bigger than it is! Post-pandemic, this has become even more imperative since people want more spaces to move around, and stretch their legs. With small bathrooms, the challenge that comes is that you don’t get enough space for ‘storage’. In the bathroom, you need storage for many things related to toiletries, cosmetics, washing/cleaning items, hand towels, or even clothes to hang at times. Average-sized or tiny bathrooms feel cramped and suffocating, which makes you uneasy. As a homeowner sometimes ends up giving up on ‘functionality’ and ‘design’ elements to make the bathroom look and feel more spacious. This is not required. The reality: Your bathroom does NOT need to look big to seem more stylish. With a bit of planning and thoughtfully crafted design tricks, you can create designs that maximize the space of your tiny bathroom! Plus, this can happen without compromising on storage!! Tips to utilize every square inch of Indian bathrooms in making it feel BIGGER & BETTER! 1. Small bathroom layout: Wall hanging Water-closet (W.C) units [Source- https://www.pinterest.com.au/] [Source- https://www.pinterest.com.au/ ] Replace your conventional two-piece or one-piece W.Cs with a wall hanging W.C. where the water unit is hidden or embedded inside the wall One-piece or two-piece W.C. sitting on the floor takes a lot of space and makes them look stuffy With the water tank of your W.C. hidden, your bathroom does not look cramped-up A Wall-hung toilet is a space-saving alternative You can demand your builder to provide you with this, especially if the plumbing has still not been completed Wall hanging W.Cs is tankless and baseless Wall hanging W.Cs also hide all the plumbing elements like pipe, inlets, outlets, etc. The result: Less space and a sleek-looking bathroom! Using wall hanging W.Cs are so much more convenient to use and clean. You can mop, clean, and clear the water from underneath easily. This way, your bathroom looks drier and more beautiful smelling. With wall-hanging W.C, the base does NOT come in the way of your cleaning efforts. You don’t have to bend to clean all the area around it! Wall hanging W.Cs is flexible, as you can adjust the height of the W.C while fitting them. With base-mounted W.Cs this option is NOT available, since they come in standard size! Wall hanging W.Cs can be adjusted to family depending on their height. This means, your W.C can be a perfect fit for you and your family since your legs won’t be hanging or over-folded while using the W.C Being able to adjust the wall hanging W.C to the exact height you want makes them so much more comfortable-to-use The only flip side of having a wall hanging W.C is that they need professional expertise to install. So, they are expensive as well as difficult to install That’s why it’s best to have wall-hung W.C installed before the builder has done the plumbing. After the conventional W.C is installed, it is difficult to install a wall-hanging W.C. unless you are okay to spend on renovation costs! 2.Small bathroom layout: Floating wash-basin-cum-storage units (vanity) [Source-small Bathroom layout: https://www.bhg.com/] [Source- https://renoguide.com.au/] [Source- https://www.allbathroomgear.com.au/ ] Floating items like wash basins, soap dispensers, etc. free up many inches making your bathroom feel bigger With a floating vanity, you can feel very bright and more spacious Keeping the bottom shelf or space of the vanity empty makes for easy cleaning For more storage space, you can always add movable baskets or boxes to make small bathrooms better organized and stylish The good thing about movable baskets is that the floor space can be freed-up at your will Like a wall-hanging W.C, even a floating vanity with a wash-basin fitted into it can be adjusted as per the average height of the family members This makes it suitable for children as well as elderly With a well-adjusted height, you are at ease while using the bathroom. You have to worry about reaching out and pulling items out of your vanity drawers Even if you have a slippery bathroom, you are safer with a vanity adjusted to your family members’ average height ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Bathroom Storage Ideas: 5 Storage And Space-Utilization Ideas To Get The Most Out Of Your Indian Bathroom!” Click here!

Besides, the bond of Indian culture and values are very strong amongst Indians. While some NRIs have sold their properties, those who did not, saw unprecedented capital appreciation over the last three decades. All over India, the property prices, whether residential plots or agricultural land, have risen to over 200 or 300 times in the last three decades. With a growing economy, this trend of Indian properties retaining their value, and further increasing will remain in the decades ahead as well! NRIs understand that! Getting back to India and living in your own home is a delight. Many NRIs have aging parents who live in these homes. So, this way, not only are their parents or siblings taken care of, they have a place to come back which is their OWN HOME! Besides, after working abroad, many NRIs themselves find solace amongst their own family and friends back in India. The financial incentive for NRIs investing in Indian real estate is high. By investing in India, NRIs are sure of hefty returns on their investment. Plus, you have professional management Services who even take care of their properties while they are away from their motherland.

Why are NRIs or PIOs investing in residential property in India A sense of belongingness why NRIs and POIs buy real estate in India Lower cost of residential plots, and apartments in most cities like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and NCR. Some pockets in these cities are very reasonable and have a good social infrastructure Appreciation of real estate has historically been very lucrative in India, so the ROI is better if invested in Indian property Falling Rupee value against most currencies allows them to gain more in Rupee terms, which is an advantage The option to have a home in India in case of any situation is a solace, and a great fall-back option to have! Long-term, SAFE investment and a higher rate of return on investment, especially with the advent of RERA regulation which makes it safer to invest in India 3. Advantage India- NRIs investing in Indian real estate Younger population led by National and State-level governments that are focussed on Economic growth! The economic liberalization since 1991 has attracted global and Foreign Direct Investments, and this is continuing RERA followed by the introduction of GST has brought about greater positivity in buyers’ sentiments resulting in greater investments by NRIs Post-pandemic era is bound to witness the next phase of the growth trajectory till 2030 and beyond! A healthy India-level growth rate is a testimony to that. GDP Annual Growth Rate in India averaged 5.81 percent from 1951 until 2021. It reached an all-time high of 20.30 percent in quarter 2 of 2021 The diverse range of property segments spread across multiple cities has also helped drive demand. From luxury segment to affordable segment, each city has both the offerings in residential plots and apartment segments For instance, in all the major cities, you could buy an apartment for Rs 50 lacs to over Rs 20 crores, depending on the needs of a home buyer Cities like Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and many other cities are front-runners with IT/ITeS industries driving growth The well-distributed Indian market comprises middle and upper-middle-class home buyers, institutional investors, high net-worth individuals, very large global institutional investors, and real estate funds The rental yield from residential properties varies between 1% to 2% annually. For commercial properties, the annual rental yield is around 6% to 8% as per realistic estimations This is why Indian real estate investment by foreign investors has been increasing over the years The affordable housing sector has got a renewed boost not only due to a drop in the price but also due to the government rolling out various incentives and measures for first-time home buyers The Indian Economy is set to grow, and NRIs will continue investing in Indian real estate for both financial and emotional reasons! “All life naturally strives for growth.

Comfortable look and feel of Sainikpuri locality Having lived abroad, you get used to a certain level of sophistication and structured locality to live, Sainikpuri offers that to NRIs With wide roads, well-planned colonies, and neat and clean environments, Sainikpuri ticks all the right boxes as a beautiful aspirational locality to call home Even after you have moved in from developed nations such as the USA, UK, Australia, or elsewhere, you don’t feel the difference too stark You feel comfortable with proper street lights, parks, and a well-connected neighborhood 2. In the lap of nature The locality of Sainikpuri is synonymous with plenty of trees, green cover, parks, and easy-walkways Whether it is the chirping of the birds or the sweet aroma of green woods, you get it all in Sainikpuri On one hand, you have well-maintained parks by GHMC, and on the other, you have the natural Kapra lake which is being taken up for preservation and protection by the Telangana State Government authorities 3. Social infrastructure to cater to all needs Whether it is supermarkets, groceries, eateries, exclusive or branded stores, educational institutions (schools/colleges), jewelry shops, restaurants, Cafés, banks, Home furnishings, Building materials, Beauty Salons, Hospitals, gymnasiums, health/organic foods, Specialty medical care, sweet shops, South Indian Tiffin centers and so on…you name it, and it’s all there in and around Sainikpuri within easy reach! Some of the prominent names are: Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan school and college, Ratnadeep Supermarket, Tanishq, Reliance Digital Electronics, Croma Electronics Store, Karachi bakery, Pista house, Concu bakery, barbeque Nation, and plenty of eateries In fact, Sainikpuri is fast turning into a hub of eateries, and people from far off places in Hyderabad love to visit Sainikpuri to unwind and spend time with friends 4. Great location for health and well being – NRIs Morning and evening walkers flock to Sainikpuri to rejuvenate and energize themselves in this beautiful location You have wide areas of over 250 acres, especially around AFOCHS Sainikpuri, and Vayupuri that is plush with a green cover, and walking in these areas is a delight! NRIs love the refreshing feel in this locality 5. Gentry With retired Armed Forces personnel, many Government officials, business people, and working professionals from various states throughout the country, Sainikpuri is a great pot-pourri of cosmopolitan people from all over India This makes for an excellent gentry It is well-known fact that living in Sainikpuri is a matter of pride, be it an independent bungalow or a decent-sized apartment The neighborhood is peaceful, with near-zero disturbance of privacy that’s required for a peaceful living 6. Long-term investment prospects The prices of land in Sainikpuri are rising. From Rs 50,000 per square yard about a year ago (2021), the land prices in some pockets (in mid-2022) are already breaching the Rs 60,000 per square yard mark Over the next 5 years, the land availability will further shrink, and this means capital appreciation in the Sainikpuri locality This means that even apartments will appreciate, be it ‘regular apartments’ in standalone buildings or ‘builder-floors’ (one-apartment-per-floor) Seeing an appreciation or ROI of over 25% in the next two years (mid-2024) is very likely With construction costs (cement and steel) rising, the properties all over the country will automatically appreciate even more With apartments ranging from Rs 4500 to Rs 7000 per sqft, NRIs have all the luxurious options with relevant amenities like lift (elevator), car parking, power- back-up, security measures, and more in Sainikpuri Builders are adapting to the discerning needs of NRIs and offering many luxurious options to NRIs for a fine living experience 7. Well-connected to city, yet seems away from it With the advent of ORR, the city of Hyderabad is fully connected from all corners, and that holds true for Sainikpuri as well The connectivity of Sainikpuri, ECIL, Neredmet, A.S.Rao Nagar, and Yapral is further going to improve The Defence Ministry in April 2022 has agreed to give away a significant chunk of land for the expansion of roads. This means that traffic congestion in this area will disappear in the decade ahead These are huge incentives for the NRIs and other professionals who seek a quality lifestyle to own dream homes in and around Sainikpuri, Hyderabad. ‘Quality of life’, good health, and well-being are assured in Sainikpuri locality for decades ahead, and that’s motivating for the NRIs! ” The quality of life is more important than life itself.” – Alexis Carrel To know more about “Ever-Increasing ‘Shopping Hubs’ Around SAINIKPURI Locality Make It An Attractive Location For Home Buyers In Hyderabad!” Click here!
2 or 3BHK flat in Hyderabad: 5 logical reasons NOT to follow Vastu tenets BLINDLY while buying your dream home!
5 logical reasons NOT to follow Vastu tenets BLINDLY while buying a 2 or 3BHK flat in Hyderabad! Homebuyers in Hyderabad and even elsewhere sometimes make Vastu the single most important rejection or acceptance criteria while buying their 2/3BHK flat in Hyderabad. The weightage and fear of Vastu take precedence over more important matters like the quality of the apartment, the reputation of the builder, and the needs of the family. Origin of Vastu Vastu Shastra is a science that originated over 4000 years back in India and was meant to provide a framework upon which a common man could build their homes on open plots. Vastu was initially meant to be for the elite and very rich people who had the capability to build large palaces or temples As time went by, Vastu tenets were simplified and turned into guidelines to guide the common man. The intent was to give a semblance of sanity to township planning and to make life more practical and scientific So, Vastu was essentially a metaphysical prescription based on scientific and logical reasons/benefits for those residing in a home The core aim of Vastu was to help people lead a happy life in harmony with the elements of nature. By living in harmony with nature, one could attain better synchronisation with the built environments, leading to a happier life for the family members Why Vastu? Vastu Shastra is intended to provide comfort to the inmates of a home by utilising the right positioning and proportion of the nature’s five elements (Pancha boots) The Pancha boots comprise i) Fire (Agni), ii) Air (Vayu), iii) Water (varun or jal), iv) Earth (prithvi) and v) Sky/Space (Akash) These elements indulge in a complex interplay with the 8 cardinal directions (East, West, South, North, North-East, South-East, North-West and South-West), that influence the lives of the people living or working in the built environment Vastu Shastra intends to optimize harmony with nature which in turn brings happiness and peace to the human inhabitants 5 Reasons why Vastu should NOT be followed blindly while buying a 2 or 3BHK flat in Hyderabad 1. Vastu Shastra is NOT a rule book to be followed for buying apartments It’s a guideline which was meant for homes build on plot of land, and does NOT apply to flats/apartments It’s not a commandment to be followed without thought and logical thinking Apartments did NOT exist 3000 years back, hence Vastu tenets are NOT applicable entirely to apartments 2. Vastu Shastra is scientific, and prescriptive in nature with inbuilt flexibility that does NOT forbid any design element Vastu tenets are based on elements of Earth, the climatic conditions, Sunlight and flow of Wind…all of which are based on scientific reasoning Being flexible, Vastu tenets are NOT to be followed as superstitions So, if an apartment feels right and appeals to your better senses, go for it Follow a balanced approach while evaluating options and force-fitting Vastu tenets into your proposed apartment After all, there are NO FIXED RULES 3. Vastu Shastra is mystical in nature, is often used to exploit the vulnerable home buyers The fear-mongers target home buyers who are scared of a bad impact on their family, relationships and financial If Vastu is a ‘guiding principles’, why make it a life-defining diktat? Simply go with how ‘good, happy & content’ you feel about a certain location or design of a 2 or 3bhk flat in Hyderabad. 4. Vastu principles simply DO NOT apply to apartments Vastu is applicable on open plots where sunlight comes in unrestricted That is just NOT possible with flats, because you are surrounded with many flats on the same floor. Plus, you have so many towers around you which block sunlight and ventilation For instance, Vastu tenets asking you to have a Master bedroom in South-west direction is meaningless if South-west direction is completely blocked in the apartment you are looking at Similarly, having kitchen in South-East is meaningless if you have an apartment on your South-east, with NO MORNING LIGHT coming your way! When the most critical elements- SUNLIGHT and VENTILATION are compromised in an apartment, Vastu tenets can just NOT be applicable in entirety in apartments 5. Vastu Shastra can NOT become the healer of your life’s problems, and other situational elements Vastu gives a psychological relief to those seeking solutions to their life problems The built environment of the ancient times no longer exists, hence, finding solace and remedy in Vastu is a bit too far-fetched, and incorrect Hence, while buying your 2BHK or 3BHK flat in Hyderabad, do NOT make 100% Vastu compliance decision-making criteria. Vastu tenets just do NOT apply to an apartment built-apartment in its entirety. Be scientific and logical just like Vastu was intended to be about 4000 years back. Do NOT fall prey to fear-mongering Vastu pundits. Vastu is all about ‘feeling good, happy & content’, nothing more! Applicability of Vastu on apartments is QUESTIONABLE because sunlight and directions do not make sense in an apartment setting. Embrace the scientific spirit of Vastu, NOT the twisted dogmatic version of it. Be driven by common design principles so far as space, sunlight, flow and function of your dream home are concerned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Understanding Vastu Shastra: Easing the Dilemma of a Home Buyer [Part I]”.Click here!
