Making a house a home is about infusing yourself into every corner and making it your own,\u201d she adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When designing and decorating for clients, Rittika believes that a good plan is the most important thing to begin with. You need to get the layout and functionality of the space right. The rest of it is all the dressing up of the bride. The next thing that she pays attention to its practicality in terms of materials. To illustrate her point, Rittika tells us that she has used laminate all over her house instead of vener because her dog loves to scratch furniture. Finally come the style and d\u00e9cor, which must be something the clients relate to, Rittika notes. \u201cAfter all, it\u2019s their home I\u2019m designing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h4><strong>Rittika\u2019s dos and don\u2019ts of decorating a living room include:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Dos:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do make sure your layout is first practical, and then beautiful.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do go with pieces you truly love.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do use furniture that is proportionate in size to space.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do accessorise with artwork, d\u00e9cor, and plants to make the space warm, inviting\u2026 and your own.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Don\u2019ts:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t use too much or too little furniture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t blindly follow trends.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t match everything, whether furniture pieces or furnishings.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nAll of us want our homes to stand out, we want the decor and the styling to speak for who we are and reflect our likes and dislikes. But is it possible to do all of this without going broke? Rittika believes you can. She shares that one can often find unique and reasonably priced pieces at second-hand furniture dealers, local craft shops, and thrift stores. Furthermore, you can upcycle your bedroom decor, like framing an old saree \u2018pallu\u2019 to make a stunning wall frame, using leftover embroidered fabric to make an unusual lampshade. Don\u2019t try to do it all at one go, Rittika suggests. Prioritise your requirements and get to them one at a time. She recommends using plants in the bedroom to make your space come alive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wakefit has recently launched its line of ergonomic furniture, such as wall shelves, bookshelves, sofas, study tables, and more, and we couldn&#8217;t help but ask Rittika about how significant ergonomics is when designing a space. According to her, you cannot make a practical layout or design without keeping basic measurements and sizes for furniture pieces and spaces in between in mind. \u201cHaving said that\u201d, she adds, \u201cthere are instances when you sometimes break the rules. Sometimes it\u2019s because of lack of space in a small apartment, sometimes because you let aesthetics take precedence over function in a decorative space.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If someone saw a wall shelf and knew instantly that it was decorated by Rittika, she says that an eclectic mix of decoratives in no single style and plants would give her away. We also asked her if a bookshelf is a good idea in the bedroom, to which she shared with us that her bed is one of her favorite places to read. To make your bookshelves stand out, Rittika recommends decorating with personal memorabilia, such as photographs of family and friends, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mementos picked up during vacations and DIY decor that you might have made yourself. Rittika\u2019s ideal bedroom would be a magical space, she says. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any other space, soft colours can have a calming effect while bright colours are invigorating. A mix of soft colours, bright patterns, pretty lights, comfort and wonder,\u201d she shares with Wakefit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Quick-fire questions with Rittika:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Describe your perfect home in five words. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warm, cozy, beautiful, inviting, organized.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the three things that one would find on your bedside table?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phone, book, water.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you do to unwind? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read, watch Netflix, catch up with friends.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A designer whose work is currently inspiring you. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emily Henderson.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To follow Rittika\u2019 work on Instagram, <\/span><b>find her here: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rittika_ariyonainterior\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>rittika_ariyonainterior<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more articles on home furnishing, bedroom decor and DIY decor, stay glued to this space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>You can buy the mattress here:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wakefit.co\/\">https:\/\/www.wakefit.co\/<\/a><br \/>\nContact Us @\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/+91%209883333123\/\" target=\"_blank\">+91 9883333123<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMaking a house a home is about infusing yourself into every corner and making it your own.\u201d\u00a0 This month on Good Living with Wakefit, we chat with Rittika of Ariyona Interior, a boutique interior design firm that is dedicated to making personalized dream homes for their clients.\u00a0 Rittika does not believe in following trends.
