## About Niche & Functional Space Design

### What I Do

I believe the corners and small rooms of a home deserve as much thought as the main living spaces. Those little spots – puja corners, senior bathrooms, tiny study nooks – can totally change how you feel at home. I focus on making these niche spaces not just pretty, but super practical and personal.

### Puja Rooms: Modern Meets Spiritual

Your puja room should feel sacred and stylish. I mix tradition with a modern twist, whether you want a golden Krishna vibe, a peaceful Buddha nook, or something for Ganesh Ji. Expect marble finishes, jaali panels, and warm backlighting. With soft ambient and accent lights, the idol truly becomes the heart of the space. (I use the same approach for any spiritual corner you need.)

### Senior-Friendly Bathrooms

For elders, safety and comfort matter more than fancy looks. I always add anti-skid flooring, solid grab bars, and bright, no-glare lights. No tubs or glass partitions – just open, easy layouts. Shower seats, comfy heights for toilets and sinks, and simple handles make daily routines safer and smoother. It’s practical without looking like a hospital.

### Making Small Rooms Feel Big

Chhota kamra? Badi possibilities! (Small room? Big possibilities!) I go for clever layouts and multi-functional furniture design – think sofa beds, storage tables. Hidden drawers, pull-out racks, and vertical storage keep things neat. Using layered lighting and smart colors, any compact room feels open, cozy, and clutter-free.
