Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Interior Design Trends In India: A Research Compilation" report to their offering.
Interior design in India has come a long way. It has gained autonomy from Architecture and is no longer reduced to just decoration and furnishings. It sees space as a living environment, and is a holistic resolution of the socio-cultural, emotional and resource conditions of the context it represents. In this report, the publisher has explored interior design trends in the context of modernization and Indian and global influences. Trends in India are many, given the diversity factor. Add to India's rich and varied cultural heritage, the new wave of progressive development in both urban and rural areas, and diversity only deepens. In the past, each region had its own distinct characteristic elements. Although even today, places have their own design language, the 'genius loci' or the spirit of the place has undergone minor to massive changes. While some old features continue to exist, some others have reinvented themselves, while still others have merged with influences from other quarters, with the world becoming a much smaller place. Developments in technology have accelerated the change and recession has seen the birth of new trends in certain sectors.
And in an era of green living, almost everything revolves around eco-friendliness. Given the current day scenario, it is indeed difficult to fit all the trends signifying India into a few pages. In realizing that, the publisher chose a path, where they scanned the most prominent trends in a few sectors namely, housing, retail, hospitality and corporate. These trends are more depictive of the Indian urban lifestyle, and of course, are not free from influences of rural elements. What the publisher has done in compiling these trends is to give a bird's eye view of interior design in the urban scenarios, some of which have a deep, yet new cultural significance and others that are highly relevant to fast-paced global India. This trend study looks at 12 interior design trends across 4 sectors, Residential, Retail, Hospitality and Corporate, depicts them through 18 examples, peeps into the future and offers directional pointers as well. Useful for designers, architects, developers, consultants, professionals in various sectors and ideators who are interested in this creative line of thinking.
