There are times when I wonder how we have managed to circumvent the creation of an Indian equivalent of ‘Cheers’ after two centuries of being ruled by the Brits. I am often asked how we say ‘Salut’ in ANY Indian language, and I have to give a totally concocted explanation of alcohol being a social taboo in India-- until very recently (in the absence on any research material on the subject!!!).

Great Interior Design Lighting is the next key element. If you can afford concealed lighting, nothing like it. If not, get some simple straight-line lamps, with adjustable light settings, to create the perfect ambience to complement a mood.

via Room Envy Colour is something that can change the décor of a room substantially. Elegant black with white and beige offset with a daring shot of flaming orange somewhere is for those want the ultra modern look. If you are inclined to something subtler, go in for taupe and teals with soft accents. A striped paint finish on one of the walls will create some element of drama too. via Windlost

via La Vie est Belle I love lattice work---in every form :) So, this post is dedicated to the Latticework Latticework is a framework consisting of a criss-crossed pattern of strips of building material, typically wood or metal. The design is created by crossing the strips to form a network. [1] Latticework can be purely ornamental, or can be used to support a structure such as a lattice girder

Serge de Troyer via Luxist Whether you drink or not, a bachelor den needs a good mini-bar. A man should know his martini from his melon juice, regardless of which one he prefers !! Leather makes a huge statement. If you can afford it use it on furniture or accessories..but use it somewhere. Preferably not on the couch unless you have a large enough space and can also get a proper

2010-11-12T17:10:00.000+05:30

I absolutely love folding screens. Originally used as a partition or a room divider, I find that its value in interior design is often underestimated. Regardless of the kind of screen you want to use----Shoji, Carved wood, Louvered, Leather, Glass or Fabric--there is no doubt---it will transform a space dramatically via Decorpad Screens someone make a room more cozy--by bringing four walls

via Best House DesignIf the couch makes a statement of how comfort conscious you are, the coffee table in front of it, reveals how trendy you are. While working on polish/paint finish for furniture and woodwork, try and keep the same tone throughout the house. Use paint to accent that tone on the walls. If you are using subtle tones on walls and woodwork, get some bright accents; but if you are

via DocoLoco Unless you have inherited a place, most bachelor homes, are small and compact. The first step is the open plan house. The lesser the walls, the better. For privacy, screens or glass sliding doors are a much better option. The open plan makes a place look much bigger, brings in more light AND gives a very contemporary feel. via Trendir Guess what the center of gravity of a

Regardless of how much time you spend in your kitchen, you would probably agree that while the decor of a kitchen has no bearing on the kind of food that comes out of there; you would like it to look good. You consider it to be as much a part of the home, in terms of its requirement for basic visual appeal, as a bathroom or a study. If you were the one cooking, it would be even more wonderful to
