“It’s not how big the house is, it’s how happy the house is.” -unknown.
Let’s take a trip down our memory lane. Those big houses, a huge veranda in the centre with rooms all around it; that banyan tree in the backyard, with a swing and chirping of the birds; makes one a little nostalgic, doesn’t it? How one wishes to go back in time and relive those moments again. Especially when we look around and see ourselves in an over-crowded 2-3bhk flat in a high-rise building at the heart of a metropolitan city, with practically no space to move around.
The fact of the matter is, we can’t change the situation. One has to move to the big cities. May it be for education or jobs. But we can make the best use of the space in our hands. This is where the concept of ‘Functional Homes’ comes in. Functional Homes have gained massive popularity over the past year. The reason is, online schools and work-from-home culture took over the world and people realized they needed more space. Now, it is not always feasible to increase the space or shift to a new house or change the layout. But what we can do is, use the space effectively and judicially and convert our home into a Functional Home.
What is a Functional Home?
Let us first understand the concept of Functional Homes. These are innovative and modern homes that are so designed to have the maximum utilization of space along with meeting the day-to-day needs of the resident. The interiors of these homes are made on the principle of minimalization. The aim here is to provide all the basic necessities, storage and comfort. When it comes to Functional Homes, simplicity is the key.
How to create Functional Homes?
1. Declutter: First and foremost, declutter. Remove all unnecessary objects, furniture, etc. from your home. Remove or repair all the non-working gadgets. Over-crowded rooms don’t give out positive vibes. This will create more space to move along and also affect your lifestyle.
2. Storage and furniture: Invest in trendy, space-saving and modern storage and furniture. The big bulky furniture and cupboards are out of fashion. People are leaning more towards multi-utility furnishing. These can be anything from modular cupboards, kitchen cabinets, shoe racks to folding furniture. Our professionally qualified team member at Elevation Interior, Thane is very well versed in designing the apt functional home as per your requirement.

3. Lighting: Proper lighting holds the utmost importance when it comes to the interiors of any house. What kind of lighting is required, how much lighting is required and where it is required. All these play an important role in creating a lively environment in your home. For this, we do recommend that you contact specially qualified interior designers and take their help, as they have a better understanding of what goes well with a specific area or layout. We at Elevation Interior, Thane have some of the best interior designers on our team. To know more visit our website www.elevationinterior.com or call us at 9892343410.
4. Multiuse Spaces: Quite frankly, the space is limited and the requirement is more. In this era of unpredictability, it only makes sense to multi-use spaces. There are specially designed furniture items such as tables that can turn into a ‘Work Station’, ‘Centre Table’ or ‘Dining Table’, all in one. Similarly, Sofa-cum-beds or Diwan-cum-beds with storage are not only an intelligent choice but also trendy.
5. Sliding Doors/Windows: Sliding doors and windows have replaced the old bulky wooden doors and windows. They are more sleek, fashionable, sturdy, and cost-effective. Another added advantage is metal doors are not affected by termites which makes them more durable as compared to wooden doors. Also, they take up less space leaving more space for usage and paired with the right curtains they increase the aesthetics of the room.
