I’m planning the interior design of my home in Pune and want to create a space that feels modern, comfortable and practical. I’m considering a modular kitchen, customised wardrobes, better storage, modern lighting and a simple living room design.

For homeowners who have recently completed their interiors, what features have been most useful in everyday life? I’d also appreciate suggestions on choosing materials, planning the budget and finding an interior designer who can balance style, quality and functionality.
