“Going ahead, interiors will become simpler and more efficient. Ready-to-install and modular surface solutions will continue to grow, thereby offering a wide range of options that make it easier to achieve a clean and modern look. In many ways, it’s about working smarter and using the right materials in the right way, so that even small changes can make a home feel complete,” Pratik told HT Lifestyle.
1. Use consistent surfaces across walls and furniture for a cohesive look
Making a house feel like a home today isn’t about adding more decor but about getting the surface right. According to Pratik, the best way to do that is by bringing consistency across walls, furniture, and key elements by using ready-to-install panels, louvers, laminates, and interior films. A similar design language across the house makes the space feel more organised and cohesive.
2. Choose ready-to-install panels to reduce installation hassle
And, unlike the olden days, now it’s much easier to implement such design changes. “Pre-finished, factory-made panels cut down installation time, reduce on-site hassle, and give a more consistent finish,” said Pratik. For most urban homes, where time, budgets, and space are tight, this makes a big difference.
3. Use fluted/louvred panels for depth and texture
Pratik advises using elements like fluted or louvred panels to add structure and depth, without making the space feel heavy.
4. Prefer durable and easy-to-maintain materials
Modern-day homeowners are way more practical about their homes. They seek durable surfaces that are easy to maintain and are capable of handling everyday use. When laminates, films, and adhesives work together as a complete solution, it ensures the space looks good and functions well over time.
5. Opt for eco-friendly and modular solutions
There’s also a noticeable shift towards making more responsible choices. Homeowners are opting for eco-friendly materials that are cost-effective and reduce waste, without compromising quality or finish.
