HomeDiaries: Bring Your Unique Design Aesthetic To Life With A Little Help From Amar Colony Carpenters

I've always loved rattan and have been wanting a rattan shoe shelf that's both functional and beautiful to look at, for a long time. The right carpenter from Amar Colony helped me bring the desired design {pictured} to life. The sofa set {pictured} is another buy from Amar Colony, which was readymade but I made it my own with upholstering in gorgeous fabric.

While Amar Colony is a great place to pick up ready-made beautiful furniture at affordable prices, most carpenters do an excellent job of customising and are always up to date with latest trends. For custom jobs, I've tried Saini Furnitures and the results were amazing. Also, bargaining here is always a good idea.

A great way to set apart seemingly mundane pieces of furniture is to upholster it in a distinctive fabric. In my living room, almost all fabric from the yellow curtains to the sofa upholstery has been sourced from the fabric wonderland that is H.P. Singh in Nehru Place.
