Pune is a city that seamlessly blends tradition and modernity. Today, there is a dynamic shift in home decor trends in the city; from aesthetics inspired by nature to futuristic design, homeowners are embracing styles that combine style and functionality.
Smart homes, increased use of sustainable materials, and earthy colour palettes, are shaping decor trends. If you’re looking to revamp your home interior design, or staying on top of trending designs, we have some elegant and practical decor ideas for you.
Of course, Interior design is not merely about blindly accepting trends, but selecting those design elements that align with your preferences and showcase your personality. After all, intricately designed houses are not monotonous living spaces — they are beautiful homes.
Warm, inviting, and cosy, bay windows are making a comeback
Creating cosy corners in your home is not difficult and you can easily do this by installing a bay window. A bay window protrudes outwards and increases the indoor space; this can be used to place a bench with a mattress or a sofa, with layers of throw pillows.
The large windows allow natural air and light to enter the room, promoting wellness. By installing solar control glass, you can reduce the heat coming in; and if you want to create a low-light vibe, tinted glass is the way to go.
SGG Sun Ban can block up to 70% of the sun’s heat; tinted glass can reduce the light as well, along with harmful UV rays. This is great for your interiors, as it not only creates a cool vibe, but also protects your furnishing, paints, and decor from sun damage.
A couple of wall sconces or warm lights will complete the cosy and inviting appeal of the area. It’s a great space to settle down with a book or your favourite music.
Curved shapes create a soft flow and break the monotony of lines
The more layers, the better! Create textures on the wall with paint, and hang designer mirrors on the accent wall. Glass panels on the walls are a great alternative to conventional wall art.
Patterned upholstery for furniture is also trending, and it complements the walls beautifully. Layer throw rugs on sofas for a consistent yet distinct room design.
Clean, minimalist lines for an uncluttered and sophisticated look
Your living space must be spacious and functional; redesigning your layout can create the feel of a brand-new home. Rearranging the furniture is one way to do it but glass partitions are even better. You can create multifunctional spaces in living rooms and bedrooms.
Toughened glass is durable, stylish, and creates a seamless flow, but if you want to create a private area, coloured toughened glass is the ideal option. SGG Colormaxx Dura is available in 216 RAL shades, so you can get the perfect colour for your decor.
Multipurpose furniture and clutter-free, neat spaces with modern accents are perfect for the compact homes of Pune.
Glass partitions offer space separation, transparency, and seamless flow
Returning to one’s roots and heritage is here with a bang. Think of a wall adorned with rich tapestries of ‘khun’, ‘ilkal’, vintage Paithani, and Himroo woven fabrics, and clear, high-definition mirrors on the opposite wall.
This is one of the most creative interior decorating ideas for the living room that architects and designers have come up with. This design trend also creates infinite layers, and adds to the depth and vibrancy of a room. Saint-Gobain has an exceptional range of mirrors to choose from, like SGG Diamant Mirrors and SGG Miralite.
Architects are always on the lookout for smart technology that can be further integrated into daily life. Reinforced, toughened or laminated glass, combined with smart locks and sensors can boost security by detecting break-ins and auto-locking doors and windows.
Who doesn’t enjoy lower electricity bills? That’s what you will get when you have smart windows with electrochromic or thermochromic glass. The tint levels are automatically adjusted, depending on the sunlight, reducing the need for air conditioners.
This year, people wish to be closer to nature. There is an increased use of natural materials like jute, banboo, stone, and rattan. Windows are becoming larger, and skylights are back in the game. It’s all about enhancing natural light.
Regardless of the window design, using a thermal control glass makes sense; you get the light without the heat. Architects recommend SGG Infinity for the best results. Place a few indoor plants and a small fountain to bring in the outdoors and create a soothing space.
These warm, inviting colours are in keeping with the desire to be closer to nature — ochre, taupes, olive green, and terracotta for that serene aura and a timeless appeal that soothes the senses.
Tinted mirrors, glass wall panels, toughened glass for shelves, lacquered glass for the kitchen in shades of brown, rust, and green, are just what you need to create this cosy aura. Saint-Gobain’s SGG Colormaxx Glint has that royal hue to bring interiors to life.
Organic shapes and curved lines are in high demand, with curved sofas, oval or round coffee tables and curvy mirrors. Whether in the bathroom or living room, oval, round, or abstract curves are in, where mirrors are concerned.
These interior design tips for the living room will help you create a seamlessness, a sense of flow and harmony that makes the home more welcoming and not formidable.
With people becoming more wellness conscious by the day, we are sure to see home interior ideas focusing on this aspect. Air purifying plants, ergonomic furniture, dedicated spaces for working out and meditating, and reducing noise coming indoors are key features.
Green-tinted glass, low-E glass, or solar control glass to reduce heat, UV rays, and glare, promotes well-being of the residents. Glass partitions with toughened glass can be used to create a meditation or exercise space.
Pairing laminated glass with blackout drapes and using acoustic panels or glass wall panels helps lower noise levels inside your home.
What types of glass are best for home decor in Pune?
Pune summers can get unbearably hot; for regulating the indoor temperature, it is imperative to install thermal control or solar control glass like SGG Infinity or SGG Sun Ban. By blocking heat, glare, and UV rays, high-performance glass can have a positive impact on your health while delivering elegance and style to your interiors.
What are the benefits of using acid-etched or opaque glass for interior spaces?
Acid-etched or opaque glass is ideal to use wherever you want more privacy like windows in your bathroom and bedroom, shower cubicles, or to create a meditation space with a glass partition.
How can glass partitions be used to create an open yet private layout?
Sliding glass partitions can not only be used to separate living and dining areas, but also create an open flow. Acid-etched, opaque, or coloured toughened glass can be used to ensure greater privacy. Textured glass adds elegance and style while subtly dividing spaces.
How do I blend traditional Maharashtrian decor with modern interiors?
Hang Warli paintings, Peshwa murals, framed rich Paithani woven silk fabric on walls; place teakwood furniture with traditional brass lamps, vessels and puja thalis. Combine these with textured glass and acid-etched glass featuring traditional motifs, and glass cabinets for a breezy, modern aesthetic.
How can I use lighting to enhance my home’s ambiance?
The type of lighting you use can define the ambience of your home; soft, warm lights create a cosy and relaxing ambience, while bright lights, chandeliers, and pendants create vibrancy and liveliness. By placing mirrors strategically, you can ensure that light is reflected to make a room appear brighter and more festive.
