Glittery Golds, indigo blues, ice-cream pastels, glittery golds and super vibrant color pops are trends for this spring season. In this article, you can read about how to put them together in your abode.

Embellishments: Tassels, feather, fringing, tufting are all in trends this season and you will see it on wall hangings, rugs, throw pillows and accessories. This trend will balance a wonderful handmade touch to each room, beautiful tactile cushions on the sofa and a lavish throw pillow with tassels on the bed, and wall-hangings on plain walls to add interest.

Indigo Blues: Inky blues is the color that is trendy this season. If painting the complete room in one of these shades seems overpowering then simply decorate instead with vases and flowers. Pick different heights and shapes of vases to create an interesting display. You can go for colored glass or embossed stoneware.

Pastel colors: Gelato colors are going to be a huge trend this spring for interiors. You can even mix up paint colors to suit your tastes and matching accessories such as pastel-hued vases, dining chairs, and tableware. Pastel colors are advisable for those who have small apartments as it opens up space.

Ombre: This Spring we are going to see ombre in a lot many different ways, from cushions, rugs, fabrics to bedding, and in an aesthetical watercolor style on artwork, lampshades, and furniture. Once you have chosen your color scheme, coordinate your decorations to balance the wall colors using a mix of plains and prints.

Geometrics: Last year we saw a lot of geometrics on cushions and rugs. This year it is all about wall art, tiles, and wallpaper.

Color Pops: Bold color pops is one of the strongest trends this season. It is all about mixing and matching bright colors together. Vibrant colors can easily be manageable if you have one or two main colors to start with.

For instance, you can go for blue bedding with neutral walls. The curtains, cushions, and rug bring an energetic element to the scheme as well as the yellow light and the orange panel. Use textures to layer the look and don’t forget to use patterns and stripes together.

NRIs reshaping the Indian Luxury Real Estate Market

Apr 10,2018 / By Priyanka / No Comment

There is an interesting trend that has been noticed in Indian real estate market. In a market riddled by lack of demand from buyers, developers are seen launching luxury residential projects.

Resultantly, there has been an unexpected emergence of interest in the luxury residential segment which has come from non-resident Indian clienteles and buyers with deep pockets.

A lot of Realtors have joined the trend in Pune and Mumbai as well. Following the implementation of the real estate Act, the market in all parts of the country was stirred up for better or for worse.

While the transparency and authenticity in real estate investments became apparent, the risk of seeing the project ever reach completion with respect to compliance has a lot of residential home investors backing out. To make-up for the miserable loss, developers are looking to make the most of this micro-market.

The demographic for luxury projects is limited. However, this is the segment that has kept non-corporate realtors out of the red in recent times. A remarkable fact about the NRI customer base is that even a risk-prone project does not disappoint them. As long as a luxury project is made debt-free, NRIs do not hesitate from paying extra to purchase the same.

Most of these luxury houses have a specific net worth that runs into hundreds of crores because each home comes with a price-tag of Rs 6-8 crore. In spite of the dearth, real estate big shot have done a booming business in Mumbai and Gurgaon.

This shows that in spite of the storms that were thrown its way, real estate industry is capable of sustaining through micro-marketing. The niche of investors may be thin, but it is not absent. According to real estate analytics, a list of real-estate developers have managed to snag end-user consumers enthusiastic about luxury housing projects.

Mumbai saw Lodha Group and Radius Developers making a profitable business. The Lodha Groups have launched about four new luxurious, high-end projects at Walkeshwar, Lower Parel, and are now concentrating on Pune. Radius Developers has two upcoming projects where each luxury home may get them approximately Rs 13 crore.

Even though the Real Estate Regulation Act is now in force, property buyers, mainly in Noida, are failing to see much relief as it stands today.

When home buyers are faced with an insolvency proceeding, here’s what you can do to make sure that your rights are protected when the builder fails to complete the project

What is insolvency?
Insolvency is the state of being incapable to pay the money owed, by a person or company, on time; those in a state of insolvency are said to be insolvent.

In case of insolvency:
Insolvency proceedings should confirm that homebuyers get their respective properties and the flow of money remains non-disruptive by bringing in a government agency or co-developer to finish the project when a builder fails to do so.

What is the change?
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016, and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Fast Track Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2017, provide forms for submission of claims by operational creditors, including financial creditors, workmen, and employees.

Earlier, there was no provision for individuals to claim under the insolvency law. That hole has recently been plugged by a government notification.

How to make your claim?
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India notification says that a person claiming to be a creditor should “submit proof of its claim to the interim resolution professional or resolution professional in person, by post or by electronic means in Form F of the Schedule.”

The existence of the claim of the creditor may be proved on the basis of the records available in an information utility, if any, or other related documents adequate to establish the claim, comprising any or all of the following:
1. Bank statements of the customer showing non-satisfaction of claim
2. Documentary evidence demanding satisfaction of the claim
3. An order of court or tribunal that has arbitrated upon non-satisfaction of claim

How can it be resolved?
The best way to resolution could be the completion of the project through a change of developer (if the existing developer is insolvent) so that homebuyers get the unit which was promised to them.

White home decor ideas for a classy look

Mar 27,2018 / By Priyanka / No Comment

White is the color of pureness, harmony, cleanliness, religiousness, and safety. The use of white color in a room can completely transform the look of your interiors and give them a superb sophisticated and classy look.

Interesting accents should be added to the décor, to improve the appeal of white and its supremacy. Cushions of vibrant colors, indoor plants, paintings, and curtains, are some of the options through which you can bring in contrast and highlight whites. For example, gold, turquoise, etc., can be used as highlight colors in a white décor. One has to be very careful, not to overdo by using too much white, as it could get too melancholy and boring.

How to safeguard that white remains white
You should choose the right things to make sure that the white décor remains white. For instance, pick G4 Stone, which is a composite glass and is a more long-lasting alternative to use. White reflects light. So, it adds to the vividness of the space and makes space appear bigger.

You can go for a classy gold-colored false ceiling with a white trim and white walls. White walls are an ideal background for art lovers to set off their masterworks.

Folks who have a preference for vivid furniture, or large prints in the upholstery, can also use a lot of white in their home décor.

People who have children, pets or a non-centralized air-conditioning system in their apartments, should be cautious with the amount of white that they use in the décor. Dust and dirt can convert the white to a dirty off-white. So, if you wish to add white to your home decor, you must also ensure that you can maintain it.

Tips for using white color in home décor

You can use white color for your walls, to give a spacious look to your room. When complementing your white walls, keep the accent color subtle and do not overdo it.
Do not keep white surfaces plain. Instead, add dimension using textures to create different surfaces.
White spaces need to be combined carefully with colored furniture, linen, and items. To create a soothing space in an all-white room, add classic purple, citrus green, and turquoise
If you have kids at home, choose from washable fabrics for slipcovers of white sofas, chairs, and comforters.
