[QUOTE="Kneo, post: 806593, member: 4589"] My 2 cents. Ready-made furniture is costly and will never give you the quality and last as long as the custom built one. Stick to custom built one. The ready-made furniture shops focus more on designs and brand name. I've visited my share of shops for this - all ranges and at the end of the day, your local carpenter with the help of a good interior designer can make the same thing in lesser cost and having better quality. I saw a beautiful centre table in one of the extremely niche furniture shop in Lower Parel's Phoenix complex (it has a string of exclusive shops for interiors). It was around 1.2L !! We came home, my friend spent 3-4 hours on his AutoCAD software and he came up with a working specification of the exact same centre table. The execution cost came up to around 7-8K with labour charges. One of my very close friends is an interior designer and I was fortunate enough to roam around with him in shops (branded and obscure) in Mumbai and Surat for both my interior work and other projects. Read a few magazines like 'Better Interiors'. They also have a [URL="http://www.betterinteriors.in/"]site[/URL] having old articles and some snaps. There is one more mag whose name I do not remember but read both of them and you'd get some starting points. @thebanik - This is completely OT and take it just as an opinion and nothing else. If I were you, I'd still go ahead and invest that money in getting a new property. Investment v/s luxury is a no-brainer for me at least. But it may be different for you. @Techhunter - That pseudo-traditional look is out. Contemporary is in. If you want to go traditional, go completely traditional but then carrying off that traditional look is not easy for daily living. [/QUOTE]
