First, I would ask the builder to give you the dimensions of the furniture used in the plan. Since they've already done the legwork-you will know which pieces will fit. Many times folks go the the furniture store and end up with a huge sectional and it over powers the room. Second, just get what you love! You have to live there. Start to create an idea book in Houzz. You'll start to see a pattern. Then just find a sofa like the one in your pic that is in your price range. Just keep repeating until you have all your pieces. Same thing with wall decor (which I would do last). Have fun!

Our India is a country rich with artisan culture and handmade goods. From wood sculptures to native stoneware... from handwoven tapestries to pottery... there are a number of local stores that sell ethnic decor pieces that speak of our talented localities. On the other hand, there are branded showrooms and interior galleries that stock a large variety of quality product that assure you with warranty and service. So... what would you go with? Would you like to come home to handicrafts and fabric made by local artisans or you prefer buying accessories and decorative merchandise from branded stores only? Or you are the mixed type who usually do not have a plan before buying decor products? Let us know by voting below! And elaborate your views in Comments. Thank you :)

Do you need expertise in building a home, farmhouse/villa or a commercial building? Have you come across anyone who is facing construction/renovation problems because of the pandemic? Is your friend/family member unable to deal with unprofessional contractors/ builders and workers?

Hi Rhea Let's first understand the process any Builder goes through while the construction of the new building. The builder submits a detailed design proposal to the local authorities like municipal authorities or building development authorities of the city, for the approval of the building design. The authorities diligently check the suitability of the design and construction proposal in terms of structural stability, fire safety, and occupant wellbeing. Your builder might have submitted a similar proposal to your city's authorities for approval. It is only after the approval and formal sign-off from these authorities that the construction of any project starts on the ground. Once the proposal is approved, it becomes legally binding for the builder to follow. Any further changes, whether major or minor, invite a repeat of the above process again. This becomes time-consuming for the builder who has already invested a lot of time and money in the project. Also, the building cannot be given an occupancy certificate while it is under scrutiny, which further delays the residents moving in. It becomes annoying for your neighbors in case of any post-occupancy rectification to the layout of your flat. Hence, in your case, both your builder and residents' association are not showing interest in your request. Ideally, any such requests like yours can be easily accommodated by the builder while in the planning stage of the project before the submission for building approvals. I recommend not changing anything at this stage as it might invite you to a penalty later. Hope this answers your query.
