Editor’s Note

As unbelievable as it may sound but the first evidence of interior design was found in prehistoric human dwellings. During the Stone Age i.e. 6000 – 2000BC, tribes used to make their huts from mud, animal skins & sticks and decorate their dwellings with drawings, usually of animals, plants, or humans. What began as the art of decorating spaces in the ancient world has today evolved into an industry that requires abundance of experience.

This is the 21st Century; interior designers of today are familiarizing themselves with monochrome themes, industrial-styled furnishings, dark hues and soft textures. The contemporary interior design industry is welcoming impressive renditions and interpretations. Over the years, due to the widespread growth of services, interior designing has become a necessity which once used to be a luxury. Therefore, bringing in quite a few challenges for the interior designers of today.

The Global Hues, via its edition on The Interior Design Industry, celebrates and promotes the efforts of some of the top Interior Designers in India, with a motive to uncover their talent in the architectural and interior design fields.

Hope you enjoy reading the insights of the Design World!

Payal Kapoor

A Creative Genius With Unmatched Artistic Magnificence

Interior designing is not just about decorating the home in a modern way, it is about creating innovative, inspiring and elegant designs that give the place a unique twist that is a powerful expression of the client’s personality. Payal Kapoor is one such name in the interior designing industry, who is known for her artistic excellence in the architecture and interior designing sphere.

Entering the male-dominated industry without any godfather and godmother, Payal has come a long way. Keeping her head high, holding on to self-respect and being focused, Payal earned her name and respect in the industry.

Instead of getting discouraged from bad experiences, Payal masters the art of finding motivation in them. As Payal puts it, “Learning lessons from every bad experience meant that I educated myself to gauge the human mindset and reactions, learning to understand various personalities in my line of work,” says Payal.

Best Interior Designers in India

truly inspirational for every aspiring interior designer. At VISIONS, Payal works with a team of talented and skilful designers, whom she guides from time to time and brings them one step closer to perfection.

The firm offers a diverse range of interior designing services from making panel doors to quality furniture and many other turnkey projects. Some of the most famous projects whose interiors are designed by Payal Kapoor are:

The Imperial Hotel, New Delhi

The GD Goenka School, Vasant Kunj

USI building for the President of India

The Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur

The Palace On Wheels

PVR Mega Mall, Gurugram

ENTERING THE INTERIOR DESIGNING WORLD

Growing up in the National Capital, Payal studied interior design after her higher education. To shape her dreams into reality she took up a course in hospitality, hotel and commercial design. Her prolific journey in the interior designing world began by working with one of the leading design firms in Delhi, where Payal gained valuable experience and various nuances of designs. After this, she joined another firm where she gained experience in site-civil interiors and furniture making.

After gaining exuberant experience from working with these leading firms, Payal decided to lay the foundation of her own interior design firm, VISIONS in 1990.

The beginning was a little hard-hitting for Payal, as she did not have any industry connections. Payal recalls her initial days and says, “I admit, it was quite challenging in the beginning since I neither had connections, nor ideas on how to acquire projects as I did not have a background in business.”

Payal took up any small assignments and completed them with utmost dedication and hard work to meet the client's expectations. And here she is, standing tall with her interior designing empire.

VISIONS BY PAYALKAPOOR

VISIONS, a brand that Payal built on her own that focuses on designing a space with a unique mixture of modernism and

traditional flavour, cannot go unnoticed. Payal began the process of institutionalisation of her Design Genius through VISIONS.

With her hard work and true passion for design, Payal set her foot strongly in the Interior design world. Her interior design firm VISIONS is renowned for delivering turnkey projects in a fast-paced environment. Payal’s sterling design portfolio includes luxury hotels, palaces, Chairman offices, trains, aircraft simulators and ships. Not just in India, Payal Kapoor has also worked on different projects in the USA and Europe. With more than 30 years of experience in the interior design industry, Payal Kapoor is an exceptional interior designer. Her creativity, innovation and imagination and the way she portrays her thoughts in her every design are

Payal Kapoor did not want to limit herself to similar types of projects. She likes to challenge herself with more different and unique projects.

“I always wanted to experiment and take up challenging projects and after successfully conquering all hurdles, those were ‘aha!’ moments for me, as I also got much-deserved recognition,” affirms Payal proudly.

THE HIGHLIGHT OFTHE GLORIOUS CAREER

Payal completed many significant and renowned projects in the journey of her design career, but Palace on Wheels was a momentous accomplishment for her. Payal iterates with pride, “Without a doubt, the Palace on Wheels luxury train project, converting it from a meter gauge to a broad gauge, was a significant turning point for me, despite being associated with

Across the country, Payal was selected to complete the interior work of the Palace on Wheels. That’s how the great and genius artist, Payal Kapoor is! Payal not only just finishes the project successfully but her design and imaginative brilliance puts India in a neck-to-neck position with The Royal Scotsman train and brings it from number 10 to the number 1 ranking.

Palace on Wheels received a great deal of press coverage for its interior and the decor that depicts the rich and diverse cultural history of India. It was probably the most challenging project for any interior designer but Payal Kapoor surely pull it off with her artistic magnificence.

HURDLES IN THE WAY

While leading the path to success everyone has to go through many challenges and hurdles. But the taste of success is even more pleasant when one makes its way through them. Payal emerged as a star in the interior design industry by fighting all the challenges like a true warrior.

It was not easy for a woman to make her place in a male-dominated profession. Dealing with labour, travelling long distances for work and undergoing severe criticism was extremely disheartening for Payal. She was in her twenties when she was facing all these challenges.

“Sometimes, clients were extremely unprofessional and never made payments on time and some would get the work completed, but never paid, in spite of a formal contract,” says Payal recalling her struggling days.

Payal handled all these situations with a positive approach and learned to deal with various mindsets and personalities. Successfully conquering all the hurdles, Payal earned much-deserved recognition and appreciation for her genius work.

SOURCE OF INSPIRATION

Payal gets her motivation by working on various kind of turnkey projects that breaks the monotony and brings excitement. Payal is highly passionate about her work which gets clearly reflected in

In life, Payal admires those people who are humble, generous and down to earth. Learning many things while working at the Umaid Bhawan Palace, Payal highly regards Maharaja Gaj Singhji, Maharani Sahiba, Thakur Raju

Singhji and the entire Royal family of Jodhpur. Also, the way Mr Ratan Tata conducts himself is highly inspirational for Payal.

Payal says, “The people I admire the most are the ones who have the character of humility amidst the fame, money and luxuries as well as the people who give back to society and are willing to lend a helping hand to others.”

DEFINING SUCCESS

Success has no one particular definition. It is subjective and varies from person to person. For Payal, success means “Having a name, fame, recognition and added appreciation for the work done. To have made it in the industry without anyone to endorse me has been my mark of success.”

Payal has a firm belief in keep going no matter what. She thinks that a person has to keep going despite the hurdles in the way.

ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION PATTERN AROUND THE WORLD

LIQUOR BOOZING A

lcohol is considered a great escape from the exhaustion of daily life. Its consumption is the easiest way to get rid of stress and anxiety and despite its negative effects people love to consume liquor. Most countries restrict the consumption of alcohol with a minimum age, which means that a person below that particular age is not legally allowed to drink alcohol. This minimum age is generally between 18 to 21 and varies from country to country based on the consumption habits of its citizens.

The consumption rate of alcohol in every country is different. It also depends on the country’s cultural significance, legal restrictions and psychological conditions of the country. 2.8 million premature deaths worldwide are registered due to excess consumption of alcohol. Reportedly, out of total premature death due to alcohol, three quarters are younger than 70. And 28% of people are younger than 50.

These deaths are the consequences of heavy drinking or binge drinking. The parameters for heavy drinking are different for men and women. For women consumption of eight or more drinks per week is considered heavy drinking while for men, consuming more than 15 or more drinks per week comes under the category of binge drinking. In the US the average number of drinks consumed in a week is 3.6 drinks. This number varies in each country.

COUNTRIES WITH THE HIGHESTALCOHOL CONSUMPTION

According to a survey by the World Health Organization, the country with the highest alcohol consumption in the world is Czechia. In Czechia per capita, alcohol consumption per year is 14.3 litres. Czechia tops the list of countries with the highest alcohol consumption in the world followed by Latvia and Moldova with 13.2 and 12.9 per capita alcohol consumption respectively.

Europe emerged as a leader in terms of per capita highest consumption of alcohol. In the list of highest alcohol-consuming countries, 9 out of 10 countries are in Europe.

But, what looks good for the generation might not be so good for the economy. No, we are not making all this up on our own. Various countries experience a decline in their tax revenue because of the lower collection of revenue from alcohol. Let’s give you a real-life example of a country whose revenue gets a serious hit because of the less consumption of alcohol by its citizens.

willingly to prefer non-alcoholic drinks. 3 out of 10 people from the Millennials and Gen Zs generation are actively limiting their alcohol intake. According to the survey by Numerator, 90% of the Millennials are ready to spend on the purchase of alcohol. On the other hand, this number reduces to 84% in Gen Zs. This decline in number depicts that the younger generation is less willing to spend on alcoholic beverages in comparison to the older generation.

THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF CONSCIENTIOUS DRINKING

It is indeed a good thing that the younger generation is consuming less alcohol than before and promoting a healthy lifestyle. Most of the Millennials and Gen Zs prefer to spend their money on gym, food, and entertainment rather than spending it on alcohol.

total collection. However, this number declined in further years. In FY 2010 the tax collection from alcohol only accounted for 3.3% of overall revenue. And in FY 2020 it further reduced to 1.9% of the total collection.

If we are talking in numbers, the total revenue from tax collection from liquor fell from 1,758,800 million Yen in 2000 to 1,068,100 million Yen in 2020. This is the reason why the Government of Japan is encouraging its youth to consume more alcohol to boost the economy.

The Japanese Government is inviting its youth to participate in the “Sake Viva” campaign to revitalise the drinking habits of young people. The country made an appeal to its citizens of age between 20 to 39 to submit different business plans, ideas or proposals to promote drinking habits.

However, this initiative received a lot of criticism also. The buzz around this initiative claims that this move by the Japanese government will result in unhealthy habits and raise many health concerns. The Government of Japan responds and clarifies that the sole purpose of this initiative is to boost the economic growth of the country and the government also urges people to drink responsibly.

Drinking alcohol is associated with many cultures. In some parts of the country, culture and alcohol go hand in hand. But to our surprise where on one hand excess drinking is considered harmful, its limited consumption is also becoming a problem for some countries. So it is now very important to strike a good balance between excess and restraints in drinking.

RISING INCOME

According to experts, income plays a very important role in the growth of any industry. And for the interior design industry, the case is no different. The rising income means that the purchasing power of the people is increased and they can buy more things.

An increase in income led to the demand for a higher standard of living with more comfort and facilities. With more income in hand, people can afford interior design services to improve their home spaces for more comfort and luxury.

INCREASING REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES

Rising income and an increase in real estate activities are interrelated. The rise in income leads to the search for more comfortable living which eventually results in people engaging more in real estate activities.

This means if people are buying more homes, they will want to change their

interiors and design to give the space a fresh look. And not just buyers, the ones who sell the house also often redesign their places so that it can look more attractive to the buyer and they can charge a handsome amount for it.

NEED FOR SMART HOME AND OFFICES

Be it any industry, the one thing that people demand in every industry is technology. Technology has taken over the world and made our lives easier than it was before. Leveraging technology, interior designers introduce various designs that are smart, technological and convenient making life easier.



SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE

the interior design industry. With instant access to design and the latest trends, social media serves as a platform that introduces various designs to people.

The latest global trend ushering in the design industry creates creative, trendy and innovative designs. Theme-based designs are the most popular trend in the interior design industry. Heavily influenced by social media, nowadays, people are opting for theme-based designs to decorate homes and offices.

INCREASING POPULATION

The rising population is one of the biggest reasons that drive the growth of the interior design industry. According to reports, the world population is increasing more rapidly than expected. It is expected that by 2050, the population of the world will reach around 9.8 billion.

And that is a huge number.

To accommodate such a large population, we need structured infrastructure and buildings. And to design and renovate the living and working space, the

need for interior designers increases. With the expectations of a rising population with such great numbers, it is not wrong to say that the interior design industry has a promising future ahead.

Stephen Gardiner says “Good buildings come from good people and all problems are solved by good design.”

The interior design industry deals with planning, designing and decorating the entire place and making it aesthetically pleasing and at the same time providing comfort and luxury.

TIPS FOR OFFICE INTERIOR DESIGN TO BOOST THE BUSINESS

People nowadays prefer to ensure that their offices adhere to Vastu Shashtra guidelines. But why though?

It’s because it is believed that designing an office as per Vastu brings fortune and financial prosperity at the workplace.

And for all those who love to surround themselves with positive energy and get away from the negative vibes, here is the list of easy-to-implement Vastu tips for office design to boost your business:

RECEPTION

Let’s start with the reception first. Reception is the first place your clients, employees, business partners, and visitors see and thus plays a crucial role in leaving a good impression. The ideal location for the reception is in the East or Northeast direction with your office name board in the South direction. You can also place the reception desk diagonal to the main entrance door. Consider placing a bunch of French lavender flowers or green jade flowers on the desk as it will surround the place with positivity.

If you love plants, consider snake plants, four-leaved clover plants, areca palms, and lucky bamboo.

ROOM POSITIONS

Founder/CEO’s Room: The Founder’s room should be placed in the SouthWest corner with them facing East or North. Vastu guidelines do not prefer frames, idols, glass, or wooden partitions behind the CEO’s desk. The table should be wooden instead of a glass one and the shape should be rectangular or square rather than elongated or curved.

Conference Room: This should be placed in the Northwest direction as helps in bringing good clients.

Temple Room: The best suitable direction for the Pooja room is the Northeast direction. But if that direction is not available, you can also prefer the East direction.

Storage Room: Employee lockers, storerooms, and other storage places can be in the Southwest or South direction.

WALLCOLOURS

Bright colours spread positivity and keep negative vibes away. Here is the colour

businesspeople on the sidewalls of the office.

Using paintings that resemble music can also be a great idea as musical notes rejuvenate strength and lay a crucial and positive impact on human emotions and feelings.

SITTING POSITIONS
