Interior designing the world of imagination
Remember the old saying- ‘First impression is the last impression’ that is almost true when you enter into someone’s house for the first time. The interior decoration of a particular house either makes you impressed or not so impressed or makes you feel bad. The same is true about designing of various other places like hotels, airports, malls, theaters, conference halls and work places where thousands of people enter every day. An Interior decorator sets your house or workplace according to your budget tastefully and with proper planning utilizing the available space most suitably.

Most interior designers emphasize and keep entrance on their priority list while planning at construction stage although they cannot do much at later stage apart from making changes in outer walls, paints, lighting arrangements and flowerpots. Designers also give proper importance to walls around entrance with lighter shades of paints, attractive imported wallpapers, tiles, colored glass panels for walls, and ceramic tiles. Dark shades are not used for ceiling of the entrance also but designers prescribe ceramic or stone tiles for artistic look and durability.
