  • Suspended ceilings are available in different materials, and increasingly, acoustic tiles and panels are becoming standard, especially in open offices and where no special ceiling treatment is required. Usually made of non-combustible which prevents sound waves being reflected back into the room.
  • Holes for recessed lights can be cut out wherever required.
  • Plaster or gypsum board is harder and reflects more sounds then it absorbs.
  • Exposed structural ceiling are sometimes used to create a hi-tech image , as a stylistic alternative to the typical office interior.

Global Sourcing -Decorating The Living Room Is No Rocket Science



Oh my god, where was the space to sit in the living room, it sit so crammed with stuff.” How many times have a gone to someone’s drawing room or the living and felt that half the things finding place there should actually be out of the area.
The living room is the place where we entertain guest, the room where the family members congregates to share their lives, watch television, listen to music or just simply relax. It is normally the best decorated room of the house; we always want to show our best side to the world.

Whenever we think of the interiors of a room, we have to keep a few simple principles in mind.
1.            What is the purpose of the room, do we get a lot of guest or do we basically use it family room.
2.            Do we have lot of space where we can have separate formal entertaining area and an informal family area?
3.            What is the climate where we live; if it is cold then we need warm fuzzy interiors, with woolen cushions and throw. If it is tropical with lot of rain, then we need to have furniture which does not get mildew easily, like cane or simple wood.
4.            Is the living room a space where we also sit for long hours, watch television, read, play indoor games, then it has to be comfortable and not a show case.
5.            The basic facts of doing interior and the same world over. The most important fact that you have to know is the optimum fact that you have to know is the optimum use of the space. If it is used a lot get the wall painted in neutral shades so that you can have colorful soft furnishings like curtains and rugs. Again if it used extensively, the floor should be easily cleanable.
‘Weathered’ choice
Choice of materials is another important factor. Marble is a good idea in hot climate as it stays cool and can be cleaned with a brush and mop. Durries and rugs can add colour to a marble floor. In warm climate wall-to-wall carpeting should be avoided as it only adds to the temperature. Moreover, if the room is used a lot it will get dirty easily and then it will be a tedious process to take wall –to- wall carpeting out and get it dry cleaned.
In colder climate wood is used a lot as flooring as it gives a warmer feel. Here wall -to- wall carpeting can also be used to keep out the draught coming from the ground. But the areas, which are used more in the living room, should have can dust and clean the smaller ones easily and keep the carpet cleaner and less given to wear and tear.
Tiles are one of the commonest things used as flooring, especially in India but the problem with these is that areas where the tiles join, where grouting is used, becomes dirty and black. Secondly these are slippery and can break and cannot be replaced easily. With a renewed interest in getting the antique look materials like bricks, terrazzo floors etc also have a lot of following now.
Furniture finesse
An important element of any room is furniture; again furniture has to be decided keeping in mind the climate and use. Furniture has been part of a home even during the hunter gatherer days; they used to make benches from tree trunks and small stools from rocks. In contemporary times there are innumerable kinds and variety of furniture. Gothic, Baroque, Colonial, Scandinavian, traditional Indian, contemporary modernistic. In India itself every region has its own unique style.
The key is to by and large stick to one style. You can add one or two pieces which are antique or part of family collection but to confusion. Imagine, Straight line modernistic sofa, made of leather and chrome with a Rajasthani centre table Or South Indian décor with Scandinavian furniture. If the room is used a lot use furniture which is easily maintainable, having heavy sofas with light floral tapes try will not do here, you need thick tapestry in shades that would not look dirty soon. Curtains and tapestry should be, by and large, bought together, so that you can coordinate colours.
Now you have the materials to suit all pockets and remember spending on charging old dirty sofa covers is essential, maintenance is more important than just purchasing.

Gadget show
If you have an informal TV watching room, do not keep a television in the drawing room. People come to meet and interact with you not watch your favorite serial, that they can do in the privacy of their home.
But if that is the only room you have to keep the idiot box, turn it off when the guest comes. Now you have wall-mounted ones but even the stand alone ones can be kept on a well appointed table or console. TV does become the centre piece but it can be kept in such a way that it does not take over the whole room, remember it is a useful thing but not a beautiful thing.


Similarly keep your music system in a cabinate to save it from dust and to avoid clutter in the room. One important thing to remember is that the wires of electrical and electronic items should not be seen. In an old house you can be seen cover them or even if it means repair work, get the wires hidden inside the walls.
Decorating a living room requires times and thought. Designs and patterns can be made on paper, do a lot of race of the market, keep space for future acquisition and then take a plunge.
It is not rocket science, it can be done by yourself and will give you lot of creative satisfaction.
Go easy on ACCESSORIES
As for artifacts and accessories, keep minimum. In India we tend to showcase everything we like in our drawing rooms whether it is a doll or a vase. We have memories attached to most items, in one home there were memorabilia from all their journeys, so you have a fan from Mizoram, a cane basket from Tripura, a paper Mache box from Kashmir and the list goes on and on. Five minutes into such a room and you have to listen to the story of the acquisition of each item in detail. While there may be some beautiful items, when cluttered together they look like scrap.
We might love what we buy, we might think we have the best taste but can’t put everything out. Remember that you have to choose the right spot of display in accordance with the dimension of the piece lighting and other items in the room.

PLAN AN IMORESSIVE FRONT ELEVATION


The front elevation is considered as the most striking feature of a house. So let’s have a look at some aspects that help in creating a beautiful front elevation of a house:


The features
Once the house plans are finalized, the doors and windows, their projections, the porch, the railings, the wall surface area available, the balconies, the terrace and the verandah become essential features of front elevation. Their sizes, materials, edges, angles and appearances are to be planned to lend best effects to the front elevation. Their sizes, materials, edge, angles and appearances are to plan to lend best effects to the front elevation. Additional features such as huts, canopies, columns, chimneys, slopes, slots, slits and pergolas are now added to make the elevation look unique and attractive.


Colour scheme
Don’t choose too many colours for the elevation. The colour scheme should be designed to accommodate just two or three colours. Let the major percentage of coverage be in a light shade. Off white or white are the most preferred ones for the plastered portion. Among the dark colours for the out lighting and borders, chocolate and terracotta red look stunningly beautiful.’

Tile provision
Tile cladding is considered as essential part of the front elevation. Certain portions of the elevation should be planned for tiles cladding and left with a rough finish during the construction of the house. The house owner has ample time at his hands to choose suitable tiles for cladding purpose. However the survey for tiles selection should be completed by the time the flooring is laid. Many times, the suppliers or manufacturers take time in supplying the requisite quantity of selected tiles of the required size and colour.

Addition curves
Angular geometrical features have long been the preferred choice o house builders. Adopting something which is not in trend or vogue needs lots of courage as the house owner is fearful that the elevation of his house would look odd. It is difficult to dismantle some thing built and rebuild it with a changed profile. However, the trend is changing now and curves are fast coming back into fashion.

Get 3D elevation
Often, the house owner is unable to visualize the front elevation of his house from the two dimensional figures shown by the architect in the drawing. He is unable to say yes for an elevation suggested by the architect. Everybody has his own choice. It is thus better to ask for a 3D elevation drawing to get a more realistic and accurate idea of the final look of the front elevation. These days, software is available to prepare 3D elevations. For best decision, an architect may get two or three elevation alternatives prepared. 

Bay window
Having large-sized bay windows in the front rooms adds additional beauty to the front elevation. The elevation has an enhanced look if such windows are added on such the first floor level. Provision of bay window has to be planned at the initial and slabs over the window have to be planned along with the sun shade over them. Provision of concealed lights in the outer projection and inner slab of bay window lends dramatic effects to the front elevation at night.

Corner plot luxury
A corner plot open up many avenues for the architect to make the front elevation attractive. Certain feature can be added to the left and right edges of the house, extending to the front and the sides. The front railing, when continued along the side too (if bylaws permit), adds a palatial look to the house. Corner plot house when viewed obliquely present majestic structures with endless attractions added here and there along the length and height of walls.

Front railings
The railings provided to the front balconies and terrace add to the look of the front elevation. These days, these railings have a combination of mild steel, toughened glass. Stainless steel and stainless still sections, wood and glass are added to it later on at the time of furnishing of house project. For provision of toughened glass, studs or D clamps are welded to the basic section at the time of its fabrication itself. MS or SS framework railings look very attractive when optimum glass and wood coverage is added to them. Provision of glass for of railing is avoided as it doesn’t give a secure feeling to the house owner and doesn’t look attractive. If mild steel framework is provided and finished with deco silver paint, IT looks more attractive than SS framework. It proves eco-nominal too.

Stone railing
Jodhpur stone jail railing of pink colour is proffered by certain house builders for front railing. It looks extremely beautiful. Exquisite designs too are available in it. However, if used, it begins to govern the colour scheme of the front elevation which has to be decided by matching it with the pinkish or peach colour of the stone railing. This railing is expensive too. Then there is the problem of dust accumulation in it. A house builder opting for stone jail railing with glass is used, one may add ornamental plant pots along the glass to add more attractiveness to front elevation.

Finish for curves
Circular features or curves when provided in front elevation look beautiful only if right finish is selected for them. Provision of sleek tiles on the curved portion is the best option. However, it needs extraordinary workmanship and right size of the tiles to bring out the best effect. The length of the tiles should be such that doesn’t convert the curve into a polygonal feature. Certain manufacturers are producing header tiles these days. These tiles are only 4.5-inch-long. These suit a curved feature well if the radius of the curve has been decided by keeping the tile length in view.
