3. What is interior design for an average
home in India? What is perceived notion
of high end interior design by an average
city dweller? Is it an extravagant
expression of “new rich” in town or an
effort of “not so rich class” to live classy
rich life?

4. Whatever it is they usually feel proud
showcasing their home interior and
décor, no matter whether they are rich
or not so rich, no matter whether it’s
extravagant or modest.

5. When it comes to average middle class home
interior you will find few similarities, an
overwhelmingly stuffed home, because they
need and inherit too many things to make their
life vibrant and cope with so many rituals, social
events, festivals, changing seasons etc.

6. They don’t generally discard old household items
in India since they have emotional value
attached to it like furniture inherited
from grandparents, no matter whether they
have already bought a pair of PVC chair and an
steel wardrobe last festive season on a mega
discount offer they will keep the old furniture
and items as well. Minimalistic interior is either
not their choice or maybe they can’t afford it.

7. You will find multipurpose household items,
like the steel or wooden trunk which is used to
store many non-seasonal household stuffs
along with hardly used inherited and memorial
items and which can also be used as TV
stand or temporary bed in case of long social
visits like couch surfing.

8. You will find same contemporary interior
lighting unit or decorative fixture in majority
of houses which they all buy from the same
neighborhood market. Almost similar finishes,
similar wall colors and textures, similar
window grill design, similar exposed interior
lighting, may be little different furnishing
based on little varied choices of occupant.

9. You will sense a fusion of different culture
with miniature painting of Rajasthan
hanging on the wall to Feng shui wind
chime hanging on door. But they seem
quite content in their home, that’s what
matters! No matter how limited is the
space inside home; they have huge space
in their heart to welcome you.
