In this blog, I’ll be talking about design trends. Let me take this opportunity to share with you all the themes of World Interiors Day 2018. The WID theme for this year is “Design Without Borders”. In my opinion, borders and boundaries are double-edged swords. On one hand, borders are important and good because they provide and define a structure and also because we get along well when there are borders between us. As the old saying goes, “Good fences make good neighbors”. On the other hand, borders can’t define us. Whether physical or symbolic, borders restrict and guide our creative thoughts and design choices. Think about “Design without borders”, and what comes first in mind is a well-designed space that reflects the world around your home. I am a firm believer of the Sanskrit phrase “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, which means the whole world is one family. The concept of design without borders brings talents and inspirations from around the world together.

Now, let’s talk about the design trends that will rule 2018

Being a design and decor enthusiast, I always keep an eye out for the latest design trends. This year, we’ll get to see fantastic design trends to be incorporated into our homes to freshen up our interiors. So, what can we expect in 2018 in terms of design? Well, patterns will rule the design world this year. Be it timeless floral patterns or contemporary geometric patterns, we can see them in exaggerated proportion and eye-catching high contrasting colours. Neutral hues will no longer be the trend this year, though you can use them in furnishings. Be prepared to embrace rich hues that are moody yet soothing for both walls and furniture. Replace the whites and stainless steel with natural elements like brass, copper, stone, concrete and granite. Plants can never go out of trend, so add as much green as you can and use fancy, decorative and colourful planters for your plants. Artisans will get the due attention this year. Lighting fixtures created by artisans or small businesses will make their way into our homes in 2018. Ceilings will get the attention, too. Innovative designs in false ceilings and dry walls are here to stay and enhance the beauty of space.

When talking about false ceilings and dry walls, I have to mention Gyproc. Saint-Gobain’s Gyproc is a world-leading manufacturer and supplier of gypsum-based plasterboard. It offers high-quality solutions for false ceilings, dry walls and gypsum plastering for a variety of spaces like homes, offices, hotels, hospitals and other such structures. Not to mention, Gyproc Indian takes care of the environmental impact of each product they manufacture right at the initial stage. Gypsum false ceilings and dry walls by Gyproc are eco-friendly, energy efficient and heat resistant. Are you still thinking what else these two elements can offer in terms of design? Let me share a few more details here…

While designing our homes and office spaces, all the attention is given to the four walls only and the ceiling remains neglected. While decorating your space, you can take advantage of the fact that the ceiling is an uninterrupted space spread across the room and can perk up your space easily. False ceilings can beautify your space and add to the elegance. Whereas dry walls offer you the opportunity to create partitions inside your space in an elegant way. Drywall is lightweight, easy to install, fire retardant, offers sound insulation and enhances the beauty of any space. They are making their way into the design world at a fast pace. Since both false ceilings and drywall are made of gypsum, they offer several benefits. Dry walls are especially convenient in spaces of business and recreation such as office spaces, hospitals and hotels. Building from this trend in commercial spaces, architects and interior designers are now exploring its inclusion in future Indian homes.

The heat-insulating property of gypsum keeps your home cool, which results in energy savings and a lower electricity bill. False ceilings and dry walls are the answer to all your lighting worries. With proper planning, you can get the elegant and better-lit space of your dreams. Since all the electrical wires are concealed, there will be no more ugly sight of wires hanging here and there that make your space look cluttered.

Why restrict your imagination when you can do so much with the ceiling? Walls in neutral shades in a big room with a plain ceiling can make it appear dull. Turn it into a cheerful space by making your ceiling an ‘accent wall’. With a false ceiling, you can not only add curves but also coloured lights to the ceiling. This simple trick can transform the look and feel of your space. For example, adding a cheerful burst of warm white light on the ceiling can make a room look bright and warm, whereas blue light looks cool and has a calming effect. There are so many false ceiling designs you can choose for different rooms and areas of your home.

Dry walls, on the other hand, provide privacy and separation. These walls are gaining popularity because they are readily available and speed up the construction process as they are easy and fast to install. Since dry walls are versatile interior walls, they are replacing conventional concrete walls in homes, offices and high-rise towers. There are different types of drywall, and depending on the requirement, they can be installed in different areas like rooms, shafts, bathrooms, etc. If you compare it with wooden and concrete wall partition, then drywall wins because it is cost-effective and durable. And that’s not all… it saves time and is faster to install when you compare it to the traditional format of brick partitions. In a world where we need to be more conscientious about the scarcity of natural resources such as sand mining and water, this gypsum-based drywall solution is a great replacement for traditional materials that typically need sand as well as water.
Because of faster and easier installation, it reduces the overall installation cost.

You can carve out space within space as per your requirement using drywall. For example, if you don’t love an open kitchen or want to separate living and dining, or if there is a need to create a kids’ room, then you can create an elegant partition with drywall and decorate it to suit your taste. Similarly, a foyer, walk-in closet, shelving and niches can be created using drywall.

False ceilings and dry walls are the design elements top interior designers swear by these days. These elements can be incorporated into a variety of spaces like residential, industrial, hospitality and many more.
