Uday,

Good one, I really liked your point about saving up the cost on interiors and use it for the loan repayment instead, actually makes so much sense… especially when the loan amounts are huge.When we talk about 1 lakh or so, it really doesnt strike us how much of a difference this amount makes in the total amount we would be paying for the loan repayment

It is true that though it is a bit of hard work,it makes so much more sense not to outsource the work entirely to interior designers when we can save but putting in that extra effort.

I agree with you Uday, the only trouble in hiring a carpenter yourself & getting things done is when you find the end product not good :-

Thanks for this informative article. I recently bought a 3BRM apt in Vadapalani that will be completed in March 2008. I am interested in the contact information of the contractor you mentioned. Let me know.

Nice one again Uday. I do agree that if we spend some time for research and planning, we could do a pretty good job with the interiors we well. This is how I’d do

1) Plan on the theme of the home (or theme of each room) based on your liking. As Uday pointed out, magazines, internet and observation can be very useful to get a good idea of how you’d like it to be. Try to make drawings if possible.
2) Research on the costs and the ease of availability of furniture and other decor accessories for the planned theme.
3) Re-adjust your theme based on 2.
4) Buy on-the-market stuff that has a great finish already and is also reasonably priced.
5) Others, try to do it yourself in the form of home-project.
6) For the rest, hire a professional for just implementing ideas which you’ve already put on the drawing board.

All this takes patience but at the end, its a cheaper and a fulfulling alternative.
