When it comes to dressing up the windows, curtains and blinds are two popular options that homeowners can choose from. Both have their own set of advantages and disadvantages, and it's important to consider these features before making a decision. Here's a detailed comparison between curtains and blinds to help you make an informed choice. Space-saving and dimensional requirements Blinds are an ideal space saver for small homes as they can be fitted into the dimensions of the window. On the other hand, curtains are free-flowing and take up more space than blinds as they protrude beyond the window. So, if you have limited space, blinds could be a better option for you. Picture by Jon Tyson Control options and maintenance Blinds can be controlled manually with a cord or string, or they could be automatic, being controlled with a remote control. However, they need to be handled carefully so that the string doesn't break while opening or closing. Curtains, on the other hand, ar...

It is believed that by adhering to Vastu principles, one can create a harmonious living space that promotes health, wealth, and happiness. The importance of Vastu in interior design lies in its ability to create a balance between the natural elements and the built environment.

Vastu seeks to align the design of a space with these goals, ensuring that the space promotes the well-being of its inhabitants....

Bombay Club is located close to the Colocal Café at the Dhan Mill Compound, Chattarpur. Its ambience is soothing with lots of white. The skylights and the use of mirrors gives the place an expansive, spacious vibe. The cane furniture is right at home, and you can get seating near a power plug. Just in case you need to work with a laptop or on the phone and need the charging point. The service is full marks at Bombay Club. Aakash, who served us, pampered us well, with each request followed. He also helped with the right recommendations and was extremely patient while we decided which food to order. The variety is wide. The management has curated the best and most famous foods from across Mumbai. Somewhat reminded me of Bombay Sandwich Company, another Mumbai food-centric eatery at Cross Point Mall, Gurgaon, which I think has shuttered down, unfortunately. Personally, I don't like the QR code menus in vogue today, so I liked it how they had put up a blackboard with the sp...

OMO at Galleria Market in Gurgaon  with an earthy and minimalist décor serves some unique vegetarian fare with interesting ingredients sourced from various parts of India. Would definitely recommend the coffee ☕ here beans for which have been sourced from Nagaland. The service is quite good with the staff patiently explaining to you the food and its ingredients in case like me, you do not get an idea about what to order. Minimalist interiors with wooden ceilings at Omo Galleria Bright Hospitality, founded by Rajan Sethi is famous for its non vegetarian fare. Across their brands, from the now closed California Boulevard, AM PM Cafe and Bar, Ikk Punjab and GT Road they have served great meat dishes (the veg is good at their outlets but meats are legendary). I was therefore surprised to hear that Rajan and his wife Deepika had now worked up a new eatery dedicated to quality vegetarian food.
