What kinds of 'unique interior' designing solutions or services are offered by your company at par with the current industry standards?
The KariGhars stands for innovation and opulent interiors that speak for themselves. We prefer to work on projects that are ready for immediate use. In addition to that, we customize wardrobes, entertainment units, modular kitchens & built-in furniture to fit the aesthetic of a project, to set it apart from the run-of-the-mill interiors. As we specialize in luxurious projects, we think it is crucial to dedicate extra time to curating the decor, conceptualizing the basic idea of the house, and create a cohesive look in order to deliver on our promise of bespoke homes for our clients. Indeed, it is true that “less is more,” - we follow the principles of minimalism while adding our unique touch to it. It is essential that the interiors of a house reflect the trends of the time too, so we try to incorporate popular materials in the construction and design. Personally, I love dedicating my time to creating and designing in the contemporary style. This style can fit into any aesthetic and is very fluid in nature, so it can easily be modified for any of our client's needs and demands. Our design philosophy is also reflective of the design values we hold close to us - it is easy to create a house, but it takes heart to convert it into a home. Lastly, homes also suit the personality of the client, and so, by combining our vision with that of our client's we deliver consistent and elegant homes that make living indoors a joy. T March 2021
