Mixing Home and Hospitality – Higher rental income from Value Added Services

Service apartments have become an alternative stay option, especially for business travellers. The global developments in business had contributed to the upsurge of business travel. Business people in India travel frequently to other business hubs and spend some time there. Such long periods stay at hotels can be expensive and this paved way for the new idea of serviced apartments.

Serviced apartments give furnished accommodation with a kitchen and rooms. Unlike hotel rooms, they are more spacious and convenient. Corporate sector opt for serviced apartments than any. Apart from mainstream builders, small-to-mid size builders also see serviced apartments as an investment opportunity, expecting a return within the range of 9-14% per annum. As per present trends, investment in residential opportunity promises more capital value than rental income. Annual yield via rental income from a residential property is generally 3-4% a year while capital appreciation is 10-15%.

The sector of serviced apartments will gain more value-added services when the professional property management start offering services. It is expected that the demand for serviced apartments will increase with the development of Indian economy. When the demand rise, more developers in India will start offering serviced apartments either directly or in collaboration with hospitality firms. If you are a businessman and planning to invest in real estate, it would be good to diversify your area of business into services apartments. Serviced apartment offers higher annuity income than residential apartments.

Our existence gravitates around our relationships and our unique qualities, perspective, interpretation and dreams! All these are influenced by several thousands of parameters which are subdued to our personality that inner factor.

Our personality defines us and we involuntarily shape our life around it, submissive to it, it`s the mysterious force that attracts people or repels them. The personality commands everything indirectly, the pattern we will choose, the color we will prefer in different unknown situations, the texture that we consider fit, proper, and comfortable. We know what feels right & what fits us!

A quality interior design fits the owner’s needs & can be felt properly by the owner and attributed to him. It talks about the owner & makes a style statement for the owners.

The question is how can design translate a person’s personality and mode of life?

Let’s check out the different styles of Interior design

Minimalist Style

He is restrained to aesthetic values and this dominates the decision making, followed by material quality along with texture and efficiency. In effect we can describe the personality inhabiting the minimalist interior design would be perfectionist, methodical, efficient, determined and introverted.

Shabby Chic Interior Design

This type of interior design is defined by elegance more than anything at first glance. The inhabitant of such a space is definitely a happy, positive, friendly and social person.

The classic interior design defines an inhabitant who respects timeless beauty. He is an elegant person interested in culture, politics and history & values comfort in limits of aesthetic values. He ensures anything that joins his scene must be as noble and elegant as him. The classic style describes a rather rigid & a highly complex personality who is noble, charming and ageless in style.

Pop Art Interior Design

Pop art is definitely cool & the interiors are highly stylish, elegant and really bold. The usage of bold colours and unconventional pieces of art is almost mandatory. The design line may define an individual with high interest in art, history and different unusual colours; he has a complex personality defined by his own perspective upon the world. An individual inhabiting such a design is complex, mysterious, different, elegant and fresh.

Our personality is shaped through time and it can greatly evolve but it never changes completely. And we can say the Interior design translates a person’s personality and mode of life. Definitely Personality & Interior design are interrelated!

Welcoming landscape offering areas of retreat, relaxation and congregation

It is human nature to desire a place to retreat, somewhere we can rest, unplug, and be at peace… a place of privacy and quiet so we can refuel and collect our thoughts or even luxuriate in keeping your mind blank!  As it happens the importance of relaxation in our increasingly challenging high-stress world cannot be overstated.  Many illnesses in fact can be linked back to stress & if we wait for our vacations to come around we could end up too stressed out to enjoy our daily lives! This is where the importance of a multi-purpose and welcoming landscape offering areas of retreat, relaxation and congregation becomes crucial.

Most of us can’t afford the time or expense to travel and stay at a luxury hotel more often. What if we can use open spaces & create a relaxing retreat out of it? With the right kind of designs, you can even transform your backyard into a private retreat. After a long day cooped up in the busy office it can be your private haven to unwind peacefully in the fresh air!

Or maybe you can go on vacation in your own backyard by creating a complete outdoor living oasis with everything you would need for hours of outdoor activity. You can start by taking into account the needs and desires of your family to determine the right design approach for your personal retreat. If children are involved then consider their friends as well as an entertaining space for the adults. Once the scale and scope of the project are determined, let’s consider the elements that will have to be included.

Earth

Define your theme or concept, and then pick your organic and inorganic earth elements to successfully achieve your goals. Your backyard retreat need not be restricted by the style of your homes architecture or the neighborhood. If you want a tropical or Mediterranean feel in your landscape, use your ‘Earth’ element choices to achieve your goals. For example, choose plants with large, loose, colorful and informal foliage & unique paving stones to complete the style. Large pots and urns filled with exotic oversized annuals can be used throughout.

Fire

An outdoor fireplace will create a gathering location and define a significant architectural element in your retreat. Be it for the warmth on a chilly evening, a meal on the grill, or the visual attraction of flames and glowing coals, a fire is bound to enrich your space. Designs & products have vastly expanded the opportunities and characteristic of fire elements in the landscape.  Creative stand alone fire pits and unique gas flame features have become the recent trends. A built in fireplace or a portable fire pit – the choices are extensive!

Water

Water has many possibilities in design. A bubbling fountain, a naturalistic pond or a swimming pool can add to the charm of your space. If it is a stand-alone fountain you prefer there are innumerable possibilities -From old world European to modern contemporary style, they can become a sculptural accent in any open space! A naturalistic pond with waterfalls reminiscent of a country creek with fish and water plantings of all sorts is also an option to make your retreat more beautiful. As for a swimming pool, it can provide an attractive and active central water feature to build your entire backyard retreat around. Design your pool to accommodate both your practical uses and style preferences. A pool can also serve as a place for your family & friends togather.

How to utilize the Space in our Dream Home?

As the saying goes there’s no place like home. It’s the place where your family spends time together & it’s your sanctuary from the rest of the world & where you feel most comfortable and relaxed. The question, How to utilize the Space in our Dream Home? taxes your brain more often – Just sit back & relax…

Here’s a rundown on how you jump start the process!

Clean out the clutter & look around your home. Check out your hobbies & see if you can manage spaces to accommodate them. If you do love to entertain, your home needs to have space for hosting and lots of space to sit down. Try going for an extendable table. If you are a family of readers, try to bring in a small library area and a reading corner where you can enjoy all our books.

For some families, a dedicated space the choices may be different! For a chef or an avid baker, a house with a well-stocked kitchen might be the thing. A space for sewing or crafting could be the need, or they might just want a nice place to relax and watch movies. Perhaps they need the space for inspiration to create art or music.

It’s the time to reflect on how you use your space now and what you really value about your home’s layout and arrangement & make changes accordingly. Try to make good use of spaces under the staircase or staircase landings. Build customized storage units to store your hobby knick knacks.

As you go about reorganizing and uncluttering your home, think about the purpose of each room, and the job of each and every item within each room. Just follow the rule, have nothing in your houses that you don’t know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

Generally speaking, while you may envision a grand layout for your home, with grand furniture and décor consider the needs of your children and pets & your busy schedule. Instead of a formal décor arranging rooms so they’re comfortable and functional is key to transforming your house into the best home possible for you and your family.

Wall decor ideas for your room

We have some interesting ideas that you could consider. These ideas are inexpensive to make and you can totally make them yourself, and what’s best is that they will look great on your walls.
Of course, you always have wallpapers to adorn your walls. You could choose a lovely pattered one which goes with the design of the house. This could be an expensive and a comparatively more inflexible option though.
Gather all the postcards you’ve received or collected during your travels and frame them together to create a lovely postcard wall decor.
Pick out your favourite photographs of sceneries and locations that you’ve been to and frame each of them and hang them at various heights and you have your own personal art gallery at home.
Paintings are photos are not the only things you can frame. Pull out those old silk scarves, frame them and hang them up to add a lovely pattern and texture to the room.
Adding one oversized painting or photograph to your room (bedroom, perhaps) gives it a dramatic effect and immediately creates interest.
Color block is so in these days and there are endless ways you can experiment with that. You could try whacky and unconventional ideas like 3D wall art.
A lovely bookshelf is an evergreen idea for your walls. If you have a huge blank wall, try putting in bookshelf there and fill it with books. It instantly adds class and an erudite feeling to your house.
Another creative way of decorating your wall is to use maps as wallpaper. You could also frame maps of different parts of the world separately. This is a great idea for the children’s room.
Mirror mirror on the wall can do wonders to the room. You could tweak it a little by placing several mirrors of different shapes and sizes and different frames. Mirrors make you room look bigger.
One can always do with some inspiration and motivation. So why not have your favorite inspirational quotes pinned up on your wall?
Choose the one that catches your fancy and have fun decorating your wall.

Ways to Keep Your Home Cool This Summer!!!..

cool

People are left with no option but to stay at home during summer. For how long can you stay in the sweltering outdoors? You can’t possibly make the sun go or use air conditioners all over the house 24/7 for that will cost a lot and is not an environment friendly option too. Here’s how to summer proof your home. Check out these cost effective ways to keep your home cool this summer.

1.Get aluminized blinds or insulated curtains

For your windows. Also go around the house and drape sheets all over the exterior. These makeshift exterior curtains will keep the sun’s heat away from your windows but the breeze will be blowing if you wish to keep the windows open.

2.Leave a few windows open after sunset

So that the cooler night air would be blowing throughout the evening. Also, leave all the internal doors open. You may also want to open the closets and the kitchen cabinets as well, as they store the daytime heat and your house won’t cool off as much at night. Be sure to close the windows and the blinds as soon as the sun hits your house.

3.Plants on windows

gard

While you are leaving windows open, also place some plants on the ledge. Easy to install and help humidify the dry air circulating inside.

4.Grow plants on the terrace

Cultivating plants on the terrace helps cool down a building naturally,The mud used to grow plants acts as an insulator, absorbing the direct heat from sun, thereby keeping the slab cool.Using plastic gardening sheets will also help in preventing any kind of water leakage.

 

 

5.Use smooth white linen to cover your beds and upholstery.

Use light-colored cotton bedspreads and throw white fabrics over your sofas during the day since the upholstery fabrics are thick and make you sweaty. Light-colored fabric will reflect the heat instead of absorbing it, and the smooth texture will give you an impression of coolness.

 

6. Cross-ventilate.

If it’s windy outside, you can create a breeze inside your home by strategically opening your windows. When the wind blows against a building, it creates a high-pressure area on the side where it hits and a low-pressure area on the opposite side. As the wind naturally moves from the high pressure area to the low pressure one, opening the windows on both sides of your home will allow the air to move through the house, creating a breeze.

7.Paint your roof white.

In much the same way the ice/snow reflects UV rays instead of absorbing the heat like the oceans do, cities are now giving white roofs a second look for cooling homes and fighting climate change. So paint your terrace and roof white to reflect heat.
