Five Simple Interior Designing Tips

Five Fab Interiors!

This winter, pep up your home by giving it an interior makeover!

There’s nothing quite like a home redone.

Here are five fabulous DIY tips for you and your room….

1.           Break the Rules

Who says the lamp has to be beside the sofa? It’s your room. Go ahead and break the norms. Make it look new.

2.           Look Up for Inspiration

Don’t neglect the ceiling. A well done ceiling can change the room in one instant.

3.           Mix Colours

Mix up the colours. Rooms can be made to look out of the world when colours are let to mingle.

4.           Let there be Light

Get this straight. Light is the most important element in interior décor. Change the lighting and you have a whole new room.

5.        Reveal Yourself

Your room speaks of your personality. Let it live like you do. Add personal touches to your room to make it unique…maybe a quote you liked from a movie? Paint it on the wall… An old LP Record? Put it up. Bring out the YOU of your room!

A High five for Pune

So, you think it’s all in Mumbai? [Okay, you aren’t that wrong] But here are five reasons to consider if Pune is a smarter pick…

1. It’s literally a cool city.

The weather is good in Pune. Period. Sultry days are from elsewhere. Here it’s about balmy afternoons.

2. The Traffic

Traffic in Pune is pretty decent, really. You won’t find the madcap rush of Mumbai here. Not like you’re going to miss it, right?

3. The Cost

Living in Pune is way cheaper than in Mumbai. Just tally the rents and you’ll know.

4. The Crowd

Pune is not known as the Cultural Capital of Maharashtra for nothing. Plus, in the recent years, Pune has risen to host some of the most crowd pulling cultural events in country, and attracted a most happening crowd every time.

5. The Places

While natural beauty abounds in Pune, Pune is also a gateway to a number of weekend and holiday destinations, most of them hill stations too.

World Cities Day

Paths will lead to Pune…

There was a time when they said all paths lead to Rome.

It is a mark of a great city that it attracts the very bests from far and wide, and in time, in its own alchemy, evokes unity out of diversity. It has been the dream of every civilization to build such great cities that would stand proud and glorified as eras wash past. 

On the eve of World Cities Day 2015, the UN brings to us this message: Better City, better life; designed to live together. The crux of the message is clear: while planned cities hold the key to the future that the world aspires to claim for itself, rapid and mindless urbanization will not serve us well. 

This is why, all over the world, the demand for futuristic and environmentally sensitive urbanization is increasing. 

In India, too, the impetus is now on the development of futuristic habitats where nature can thrive in unison with urban construction. We must not let the City destroy nature, for nature protects us. 

We know we must put the era of the concrete jungle behind us and move towards a future of greener, cleaner and healthier urban living. 

This World Cities Day, we wish such a future for Pune.
