Start with the kitchen
2 optionsSet the cooking layout, appliance positions, storage and finishes first, while deciding whether we also need broader coordination across the home.
We're planning the interiors before moving into our new Ahmedabad home. We want to settle the fitted work first, then lighting, window treatments and finishing touches, so the rooms work together without trying to decide everything at once.
The brief
We're planning the interiors before moving into our new Ahmedabad home. We want to settle the fitted work first, then lighting, window treatments and finishing touches, so the rooms work together without trying to decide everything at once.
The journey
Set the cooking layout, appliance positions, storage and finishes first, while deciding whether we also need broader coordination across the home.
Resolve the storage that depends on room dimensions before final finishes, including bedroom wardrobes and practical bathroom storage.
Decide whether the main wall should prioritize TV storage and cable management or remain primarily decorative.
Make the rooms comfortable during the day and evening by coordinating useful lighting with privacy, daylight and bedroom blackout needs.
Make the living room feel settled after the main interior work without immediately committing to more permanent decoration.
The outcome
Custom Wardrobe & Storage, Bathroom Vanity & Mirror Setup
Designer Lighting Selection, Curtains, Blinds & Window Styling
The reasoning
The kitchen is our first major commitment, so we want to start with a measured modular-kitchen proposal. We'll keep full-home coordination in consideration once we understand how much help we need across the other rooms.
Both need to be planned around the actual rooms. The wardrobe should suit what we own and leave enough clearance around the bed, while the bathroom vanity needs useful storage without making the space feel tighter.
Closed storage and cable management matter more to us than making the wall purely decorative. We'll keep the surrounding finish simple and revisit wallpaper only after the main unit is planned.
We want useful task lighting where we need it and softer evening light in the living room. For the windows, shared spaces should keep good daylight while the bedrooms need better privacy and darkness.
A simple indoor plant would give the room some life without adding another permanent design decision. Candles and fresh flowers are nice alternatives, but we'd rather start with something that can stay in the room.
