Innholdsfortegnelse for March 2020 i The Ideal Home and Garden

I’ve found it hard to write my editor’s note this month as I was in a dilemma about which stories to highlight this month. This month has been full of surprises and a host of events. I visited the world’s biggest decor fair Ambiente 2020 and that’s when I decided to change features and shoots, that will be a part of the March 2020 edition. Of course my team didn’t kill me, they were very supportive and excited about it. Reason: Colours are back! No, we are not talking about earthy and pastel tones, rather all the dark hues that you can think of! The fair was full of colours from tableware to wall art, planters to wall hangers and decor pieces. Our newly appointed Features Writer Arushi took the…

“Keep the tonality same and don’t add any other bold hue. Bold colours look best combined with all shades of grey and dusk. ” - Hardesh and Monica Chawla, Founder and Principal Designer, Essentia Environments “Whenever we are using deep and bold colours, creating harmony with the rest of the palette is an important aspect. They do not always match, but they need to belong together. If you want to keep up with trendy colours the best way to introduce them is in smaller doses in cushions or accessories.” - Sachin & Neha Gupta, Founder and Principal Designers, Beyond Designs “We encourage homeowners to create new colour stories by coordinating moody tones with statement colours such as magenta or red, complementing monochrome designs with pops of colour and contrasting muted…

Our daily workplaces have now evolved into environments where we spend more than 80 per cent of our active and creative hours. Thus it becomes essential for these environments to have a dynamic character that supports and fosters creative thought. To cultivate such an environment, offices need to evolve into more meaningful and beautiful spaces. A workplace not only creates elevating experiences, but also fosters warmth, energy, and a sense of belonging. Blurring the lines between hospitality and work environments, the space must encourage innovation, a flat hierarchy and a flexible set up for work. Building a space conducive to the needs of the owners, employees, and customers is no longer considered just a luxury, it has become a necessity. The interior design of any office space is an essential…

“Black is the new accent for interiors. Though technically, Black is not a colour as it has no chroma, yet black exudes power. It has the power to enhance other colours around it, be it fuschia, turquoise, yellows, purples or greens. When used in monochromes or mixed with neutrals like tan, grey and beige, it looks sophisticated and luxurious. Bring 'Black' into your interiors and make a visual, silent, luxurious and elite statement. Truly ' Black is beautiful',” Renu Mehra.…

“There is always a reason to LOOK UP! Just open the doors of your heart!”- Sandeep Khandelwal, Sthapatya Architects “To create a curated space with a feel with pieces that were collected over time, the walls are painted in crisp white to have the art speak and stand out.

Anshu and Nakul Sharda moved house from Punjab to Gurugram due to personal reasons. Having lived in a farmhouse throughout their life, they were a bit apprehensive to move into their current abode - a three bedroom apartment, which is substantially smaller in comparison to their farmhouse. Anshu says, “As we were used to staying in a bigger home, we were a bit reluctant intially to move into a smaller dwelling. However, I and my husband made it amply clear to the architect (Archana Van Gils) that there should be no compromise either on aesthetics nor on comfort level even though it’s a constrained space.” Although the space is limited in this small apartment, pragmatic designs were implemented by the architect to make it comfortable without compromising on aesthetics. The…
