Is it sensible to hire interior designers in India for 2BHK or 3BHK flats?
The answer is a big YES. An interior designer helps your living space into a dream home, and that’s worth it!
What most people do is call a carpenter and seek ideas from them on how to go about. This approach is fraught with risks because anyone other than the interior designer is not professionally qualified or equipped to match your needs with the available spaces.
Plus, interiors go way beyond making cupboards and cabinets.
According to Wikipedia, “Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interior of a building to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using the space. An interior designer is someone who plans, researches, coordinates, and manages such enhancement projects. Interior design is a multifaceted profession that includes conceptual development, space planning, site inspections, programming, research, communicating with the stakeholders of a project, construction management, and execution of the design.”
Carpenters vs. Interior designers in India?
Are home buyers really realizing the importance Of interior design?
Yes, the realization is dawning upon the home buyers. No wonder, the Indian interior design market is pegged at more than USD 23 billion per year (i.e. Rs 1,65,000 Crore)…and growing! This will go beyond USD 40 billion by the end of this decade (2030). Cities like Hyderabad are the largest markets for interior design!
This simply means that home buyers are opting for interior designers to create the perfect décor for their dream home.
Homebuyers in India are seeking class and sophistication now!
You have University level programmes being offered in interior design, which is akin to Architecture. The element of ‘creativity’ and ‘functionality’ is fused with expectations and finer elements of life when we talk about ‘interior design’. Can that level of sophistication be achieved by deploying a carpenter?
You have technology-based elements (many software tools, augmented reality, etc.) being used for shaping the interior spaces of various human dwellings. That level of detailing and desired results cannot be achieved by deploying a carpenter or by simply buying products off the shelf!
