A good interior is a place which creates harmony and balance in oneself

Interior accessories play a vital role in bringing the entire space together and the right set of accessories turn the space into an exquisite experience says Manan Trivedi, Managing Director, Trivedi Group and Arnaya.

What is your idea of good interiors?
Spaces have energy and this is apparent with the distinct “vibe” one gets in different places. A good interior is a place which creates harmony and balance in oneself. It is a place where one can comfortably spend hours and everything in the space enhances an individual’s or group’s overall experience. It could be something as simple as reading a book in a living room or a business meeting in a conference room, the design contributes to that at a fundamental level.

At Arnaya, we work with designers of repute such as Gauri Khan and Nikita Mehta to create distinct collections, encompassing living, landscape, bath, surfaces, art and beyond. Arnaya’s creations are custom designed and can be purpose-built to align with the vision of our clients, offering a tailored experience.

What is the role of interior accessories in beautifying a space? What weaves together a great interior design? What makes a design come together as a final energy and space.
It is the accessories. Accessories complete the process, the vision and are the link between different parts of an interior space. Thus, interior accessories play a vital role in bringing the entire space together. The right set of accessories turn the space into an exquisite experience.

At Arnaya, our products are designed to complement each other so whatever combination you choose, they are all well planned and these intricately curated designs accentuate the ambience. Arnaya’s range of luxury lifestyle products include art, home furniture, sinks, bathtubs, accessories and finishes for walls and floors, all crafted from natural stone materials expertly curated from around the world.

When it comes to residential vs commercial interiors, how does the choice of interior accessories differ?
Residential accessories are usually aimed at making the space cosier and more liveable over a long period of time with a limited number of people. Whereas, commercial spaces are designed keeping in mind the utility and aura it wishes to project for all its office or store owners. Additionally, commercial spaces have fewer accessories to increase utility while residentials can flaunt a higher number of accessories.

We offer a variety of luxurious lifestyle designs that can be showcased at commercial spaces and residentials as well. Some of the creations in association with Gauri Khan and Nikita Mehta include vases, planters, bookends, wall scone, console table, mirrors and more, that add a little texture and a bit of personality, transforming the space without a lot of hassle.

Accessories can be branded and they can be customized, which ones according to you work well in the contemporary market?
Branded accessories usually set trends and create curiosity in the market, it helps customers to visualise more possibilities. Custom-designed accessories are fairly more expensive because they require fresh inputs from the designers which is not always viable for smaller purchases. However, there is equal demand for both. Accessories turn the space into a perfectly tailored place to one’s modern lifestyle.
