Bungalow interior design – Where there is space there are immense possibilities.
Space reiterates the need for working more, doing more, exploring and experimenting.
It is these possibilities that make such spaces exciting. bungalow interior design are homes, usually single-storey dwellings that feature balconies and verandahs, lofts and staircases.
The design possibilities in them are immense, their canvas large and unfettered.
Large Furnitures That Multitask
Because of their lack of many floor levels, bbungalow interior design can seem smaller and enclosed.
Although they don’t suffer from a lack of height, what they offer might seem restrictive in terms of possibilities.
The use of furniture in such spaces must be a cleverly thought out exercise.
bungalow interior design do well with furniture that is wider, can seat or carry more and are limited to a few thoughtful pieces.
Sofas that hold twice as many people, large tables that function across tasks and longer horizontal furniture makes spaces appear larger and rooms bigger.

Open Spaces With Plenty Greenery
As spacious as bungalow interior design seem to be, what adds to their design are open spaces.
Unlike apartments that make do with whatever space is available, bungalow interior design are built around plenty of open space in and around, courtyards, balconies and terraces.
This affords a versatile canvas to design around, with greenery, water bodies and seating.
Greenery breaks any restrictions of such buildings and makes movement cohesive and continuous.

Kitchens With Character
In most bungalow interior design, kitchens are the soul of the home. The house layouts and designs have traditionally been built around large families gathering in a kitchen.
Continuing with the same thought, modern bungalow interior design need kitchens with strong character.
Exposed brick walls and chalkboard cupboards, separate spaces for baking and cooking, makeshift breakfast tables
and multi-functional kitchen cabinets all centred around the cooking area draw the family together.
Eclectic Dining Spaces
The aesthetics that dining rooms lend to bungalow interior design can never be ignored.
Elaborate dining areas with large tables and chairs in heavy wood, subtle lighting and clever seating are great for such spaces given that conversations revolve around dining areas.
Unlike apartments that do well with lean furniture, elaborately designed furniture in such homes add character and beauty.

Vibrant Furnishing And Accessories
bungalow interior design thrive on vibrancy.
The juxtaposition of a period look and heavy furniture with bright upholstery and furnishings is interesting.
Bright pillows and rugs, textured carpets and unusual accessories in clay,
glass and wood or flea market finds when layered in specific spaces around the home make it warm and welcoming.

Crafting Lounging Spaces
With single cohesive spaces in bungalows, it is natural for the urge to move around because of the horizontal design.
This also makes it necessary to find spaces to sit around and dream, write or work beyond traditional working spaces.
A daybed or diwan in the guest room, furnished loveseats under windows, sofas and more afford plenty of lounging spaces around a home.

Lighting Matters
Lighting has always had such a profound effect on homes, particularly spaces like apartments.
This same can be applied to bungalow interior design, where different moods can be created for different rooms.
From a dark and quiet mood for home theatre rooms, to subtle lighting around hallways,
from bright incandescent light in the living room to calming chandeliers and floor lamps in bedrooms, lighting can transform bungalows and their interiors.

Period Upholstery And Furniture
Period furniture is often acquired from family or personally owned, but buying them will embellish your bungalow to reflect old world charm.
Large wooden beds with bedposts, wooden almirahs and storage boxes, ornate corner tables and seating lend a look to the home that is both familiar as well as classic that anyone can relate to.

Global Design Influences
bungalow interior design can showcase various kinds of influences.
These might be art forms, places, ideas and people.
Because they offer a horizontal canvas, these influences don’t clash but are spread around, adding nuance and stories, color and character throughout the home.
A touch of Moroccan wallpaper in the living room, some Arab-inspired lamps, wall hangings of Warli and walnut dressing tables from Italy come together beautifully in bungalows.
Clever influences can transform the look of the home.

Stylies With Stunning Corridors
Corridors or connecting spaces are the least utilised and don’t offer much to explore, but in bungalows are ripe for imagination.
From console tables to chandeliers, elaborate floral arrangements to eclectic wall niches, there’s so much to explore and work around.
Corridors can be rife with life instead of becoming boring connected spaces.

Rustic Influences
Unlike apartments that offer less scope for design, a bungalow’s very architecture makes it easy to move between design influences.
Rustic organic designs in seating and furniture can be easily done in bungalows with bamboo, wood, grass and handwoven wicker materials.
This when merged with modern aesthetics allows more scope to experiment.

Large Windows And Doors
Open airy spaces designed into bungalows keeps rooms free flowing, open and not heavy and foreboding. Bungalows with their horizontal flat design do have pockets of darkness.
To dispel this necessitates having large windows and doors spread everywhere to let natural light and breeze in and allow the flow of movement.
Bungalows were omnipresent in previous cityscapes and have become rare with the construction of small homes and apartments.
Nevertheless they have a charm of their own. Adding contemporary touches lends them interest without taking away their inherent soul.

Does Symmetrical Balance In Interior Design Add Any Value? Let’s Figure Out
A guide to create the symmetrical balance in your home’s interior design.
“The desire for symmetry, the balance, the rhythm, in form as well as in sound is one of the most inveterate of human instincts.”
-Edith Wharton
Your home’s interiors need to be visually appealing and striking.
That’s probably the first thing you think about when you’re getting started with a home interior design project.
And as a result you may end up buying a lot of furniture and decor elements under social media influence to make your home’s interiors more ‘Instagrammable’. Only to find that what you get is a lot different from what you visualised.
To get the perfect interior design scheme for your home, you need to understand the concept of symmetry.
Creating a symmetrical balance in the interior design of your home is the key to a perfectly designed home.
Such a home is not only pleasant to the eyes but becomes a positive space to live and work in.
So before we get into the details of symmetrical balance in interior design, let’s understand symmetry in the real sense of the term.
Symmetry is all about creating a visual balance and a rhythm within the present layout of your space to bring continuity without making the space look monotonous or boring.
You can bring symmetry to your home by creating a mirror image between the two halves of your room, creating separate spaces within one living area, or tactfully arranging your furniture and art pieces to balance the space.
But to create that balance without losing the functionality of your home’s interior design can be a challenge.
In this blog here we have listed valuable tips and design ideas to help you create striking interiors infused with symmetrical balance in every part of your home.

How To Bring Symmetry To Your Living Room’s Interior Design
Creating symmetry in the living room can be done by placing a statement decor piece like a mirror, wall art, or frame right in the centre.
This divides the room into two mirror images. However, this is possible only in a large living room.
For small living rooms, you can bring symmetry to the interiors with wall panelling, artefacts and a slight change in placement of furniture.
Here are a few tips and tricks to ace the symmetrical balance in your modern living room.
Symmetrical Furniture Placement
If you have a large space, and an eye on symmetrical aesthetics, opt for identical furniture and furnishings.
Identical daybeds on opposite sides and a decorous mirror between two wall paintings lend a luxurious touch to the design and decor.
You can add two side tables with lamps on top to take your symmetrical interior game a notch higher.

A Cosy Conversational Area
Create a cosy and symmetric conversational area with two identical chairs or couches facing each other.
You can add a contrasting sofa in the middle to break the monotony.
Place a side cabinet for extra storage but balance it out with potted plants on the other side.

Symmetrical Wall Panelling
Wallpanelling adds definition to your home’s interior design scheme and accentuates the aesthetics.
A similar wall panelling for the entire dining and living area helps maintain harmony and symmetric balance in your space.
Add to this a low-lying cabinet with handle-less shutters and wall-mounted TV unit to improve the functionality of the space.
It will also create good symmetrical balance and blend in with the design elements of the space.

Mirrors Can Lend Symmetry Even In Small Rooms
Mirrors not just add to the symmetry of spaces but make it look bigger as well.
Three same sized mirrors on the wall plats at an equal distance from each other is all you need to bring harmony even in a small asymmetrical living room.
If you have a door on one side of your living room, like the one in this image here,
a book cabinet with concealed storage is perfect to utilise the dead corner on the other side while balancing the interiors.

A Perfectly Symmetrical Gallery Wall
You can bring symmetry to your living room with art too! Place two identical sized frames and opt for brick cladding on the accent wall to make your accent wall bring attention to the artefacts and the vibrant sofa set.

A Wall For Study And Play Time

Colours And Theme Play A Vital Role In Creating Symmetry
As already mentioned, symmetry in home interiors is all about maintaining the rhythm and creating a balance. Thematic interiors are a great way of bringing symmetrical balance in interiors.
To justify the jungle theme we have used forest green colour for half of the wall but have balanced it out with white. Both these colours create a striking contrast and complement each other well.
You can use a diagonal paint design to take your symmetrical interior concept a notch higher.
The wooden laminated headboard and study cabinet complement the jungle theme beautifully, while the floating shelves and bed with storage add functionality to the space.

Wall Panelling And Choice of Furniture

Modern Storage Units For A Clutter-free Look
A cluttered kitchen is the last thing you want in your home. It not just hinders your work but makes your kitchen look messy and unwelcoming.
Modular kitchen storage units like tall units, pull-out pantry, oil pull-out, overhead cabinets with lift-up shutters, and magic corners provide ample storage space to house your crockery, supplies, jars, and bottles.
This helps keep your workstation free and helps bring in symmetrical balance in your kitchen too.

Harmony In Finishes To Maintain Continuity
Symmetry in the kitchen can also be infused through continuity. This kitchen is designed with wood finish laminates throughout the overhead and base kitchen units to maintain continuity and aesthetic balance.
You can make the island counter the focal point of your kitchen’s interior design.
Place two to three chairs on either side to add to the symmetry of the kitchen and turn it into a cosy dining cum cooking area as well.

Here are a few easy tips that you can incorporate the next time you plan a bathroom makeover.
Dual Vanity Unit
To bring in symmetrical balance in the interior design of your bathroom, opt for a dual vanity unit. Identical mirrors will make your bathroom look bigger and brighter,
while dual cabinets not just add harmony to your space but double up your storage area too. You can also choose hexagonal slate tiles for the walls to infuse geometric patterns in your bathroom.
This bathroom design is not just symmetrical but houses your laundry unit and bathtub seamlessly without appearing bulky.

Mirror With Flanking Sconces
Flanking sconces are another easy trick for a symmetrical balance in your bathroom’s interiors.
These decorous wall sconces highlight the vanity unit and makes it the focal point of your bathroom.
We have opted for brass lamp holders to match the entire bathroom fittings. This bathroom is a perfect example of a minimalistic design with a touch of luxury.

Similar Colour And Patterns
Other than dual vanity and harmonious light settings, we have used similar colours and patterns in this bathroom to ace the symmetrical balance in design.
The beige colour on the walls and the floor lends a tranquil vibe, while the white laminates on the vanity unit match the sinks, bathtub, and pot, maintaining continuity across the space.
You can also add two floating shelves on either side of the vanity unit to complete the symmetrical look while increasing the display space for your toiletries.
Things To Avoid While Designing Your Symmetrical Home Interiors
- Don’t go overboard with symmetry in interiors as it will destroy the cosy quotient of your home interiors.
