Comfort is king

Pillows and soft cushions in varying sizes liberally scattered all over your space invite you to grab one and relax. Give free reign to your creative side and play with fabric, colours and textures. From tie-dyes to embroidery in pinks and gold, create a theme of your choice. Another aspect of your home that calls for you to unwind is your seating arrangement. Suede sofas or casual leather beanbags can be included to create defined areas for conversation and socialising.

Get floored

If your home decorating budget can't accommodate a change in flooring tiles, rugs and carpets may help. Carpets in rich, vibrant hues and Persian-inspired designs are very popular. You can also opt for more economical rugs with contemporary motif designs, available in wool and cotton.

Bonus tip: You can also infuse some style by installing a new wash basin like the one in the picture. This one costs approximately Rs 2,000.

While there may be budget and space constraints, these personal touches will help you maximise your resources. More importantly, they will alter your perception of your abode, changing it from a rented apartment to a home.
