My Interior Design Blog on Times of India Online

Times of India Online will now be featuring my Interior Design Blog. I have named it “The Culture of Space” in line with the profound influence of design on the culture, behaviour and moods it curates. I had also written an article on it sometime back on this Blog.

We also published the first article on ToI today called Interior Design – The Sixth Element. The article deals with why design needs to be holistic and centered around the people and not just on the looks – a topic that I have been quite vociferous about in my writing and my work. Do read about it here – https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/the-culture-of-space/interior-design-the-sixth-element/

As always, do feel free to send in your comments & questions both here and on ToI

Cheers
