An advocate artical about "Simple changes transform a Home"


Always classic elegance combined with comfort and originality, outlasts all other types of styles. Its style being easy, simple and uncomplicated, it attracts every one’s attention and admiration and it turns into a trend setter. Its nature gives it an enduring look. Furnishings like curtains, loose covers,upholstery, throws and assorted rugs when switched around, mixed and matched,produce a sense of variation and vibrant energy.
Judicious addition of colours transform the overall look. When dashes of bright coloured shades and monochromes are added, we get a colour extravaganza waiting to happen. Using throws and coloured cushions will add life to the room. Golden coloured washed walls  make for a sunny background and go well with a deep blue and sea green checked sofa.

Thelook of enchanting beauty or the dull monotony of the interiors of a houselargely depends upon the selection of furniture. The charm of colonial furniture is a sure-fire choice as it goes well with any kind of colour themes. Some people still prefer to opt for polyurethane-coated furniture, an amalgamation of Japanese, Italian and Shaharanpur styles, with floral carving mounted on curvy moulding.

Different techniques could be used in designing a room and there by giving it a particular look. For the living room, one can go back to looking at old design trends, when furniture had to belong to a ‘set’ and the sofa had to have ‘matching’ single seaters – more often than not in leather. Dense geometricshapes for wood work or diversely diametric heavily carved loveseats;over-ornate sofa chairs which look like the thrones that are placed for thebride and bridegroom to sit on at a wedding reception. All these are heavy and considered unnecessary.

The mental outlook of the way of looking as it needs to be changed. Theconventional outlook has been formed by having looked at it for so long andgetting accustomed to it. This has to be changed. In small apartments, a bedroom cannot be looked upon as a place to just sleep in at night, it also needs to act as a lounge, an area where one can relax and ged away from the anguish of big city life. There is a general tendency to ignore lofts, passages, comers, foyers and corridors. In fact, if enough attention is paid to these niche areas, they can enhance the appearance of the house.

Areas such as columns and brackets-nooks are also usually ignored. If they are treated with creativity they could get transformed into fanciful focal points that make a home good looking. They could be achieved by thoughtfully usingpendulum lamps, swathes of drapery and surrealistically exaggerated scenescomplementary fanciful artificial foliage and throw rugs.

Most of the people consider the bathroom to be unimportant and a place simply meant for the apparent purpose of cleansing, but it is more than that. In actual reality, it is telltale benchmark of the owner’s eye for detail. Well-placed mirrors, simple colour schemes, and see-through shower stalls make for an airy, spacious bathroom. Decorating the bathroom with a false ceiling is an outmoded practice. Nowadays it is not in vogue.

Kitchens had always been and continue to be an interesting arena of design – accommodating a fridge, a fold up dining table, a cooking range, an array of overhead cupboards for placing everything from crockery to salt and pepper shakers, a book shelf, a unique hand cut much rack and other bric-a-brac in a small area will be really challenging but is possible and quite easy if planned properly.The room one is using could be made to look more better with candles, muted lights, flowers in baby pink and passionate red. When these candles are lighted, the sheers spread out and along with special floral table linen more zest and vivacity fills in the ambience giving a whole new look to the room.


Recently a builder was ordered to pay almost eight times the original price of the flat for his inordinate and unjustified delay in delivering possession to a purchaser. The judgment of the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has been hailed by consumer activists as a much needed trend to bring much needed accountability in Realty Sector.

TheState Commission expressed its deep anguish over the exploitation of helplessconsumers by the builders and developers. It viewed the delay and usual practice of creating a third party interest with utmost seriousness and hence slapped eight times penalty. This case can certainly turn into a trend-setter and many such cases will now land up in Consumer Disputes-Redressal Commissions. In the instant case, Prashant Kulkarni had purchased a flat for Rs.6.5 lakh in Kothrud area ofPune. Here most of the flats are owned by people from Vidarbha. From Vijay Wagh of Mrunmayee Society in 2001. With possession promised the same year, consumer had cleared the initial payments, keeping merely Rs.70,000/- pending to be paid at the time of possession of the flat. Prashant Kulkarni, in his complaint has stated that possession was not delivered and the builder created third party interest. No notice of cancellation of alleged default was served to him.

Thebuilder claimed that since purchaser had not paid the amount, the agreement wascancelled due to default in payment. As usual the builder claimed that agreement was not registered and is under Maharashtra Ownership of Flat Act 1983 and hence not maintainable. However, the District Forum also rejected the claim and contention and directed the builder to hand over possession to the original purchaser. The State Commission pointed out that though the Forum below had ordered to handover the possession of flat to the consumer, he would not immediately get the possession as the builder has already created third party interest in the flat originally booked by him and parted with the possession in favour of third party.
