Interior design as we all know is a multi-faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment. These solutions are functional, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants and are aesthetically attractive as well as appealing.
These solutions can be based on the variety of concepts like different themes, color palettes, art moments or maybe just our heritage, but a new concept mushrooming from the hefty clouds of interior monotony is designing according to our zodiac signs.
A refreshing twist from all the dull and tedious approaches from the same interior designer you have been hiring to do your living room for years.
