7 Things to Consider for an Affordable Home | Builders in Cochin

Building an own house is one of the costly investment one make in their life. So many questions and doubts arises during this time. One among this is the budget, seek help of a professional builder. Being one of the leading Builders in Cochin, we Active Designs can give you a few ideas for an affordable home. Here are some:


1. Make it small, yet appealing: 


 Just think, how much space you really need? This is one of the common mistakes everyone does, building a too big home!!! Along with the cost of building, it also lacks supervision. Based on creative home construction ideas an increase in ceiling height is a good thought for small home, so that multiple windows can be incorporated which invites more light and air, also the room appears more spacious.

2. Avoid Complexity, make it simple: 


One most often seen feature is that incorporating too much of designs in one project. For example a roof top with more angular sections will definitely grab some attention from your neighbours, but rarely one can experience the attraction of the design from inside. Opting the box design for the home is a solution for this. Builders in Kochi using this design are common these days.

3. Minimize walls: 


Keep the house plan simple and open. This is one method to minimize cost, a fewer wall means less material, that is less costly. In addition, multiple areas can be visually connected and the room appears wider.

4. Simple detailing:


You can replace the wooden casting around windows by affordable metals. Use some bold colors that pop out, which give some highlight to that particular area.

5. Smart design & material choices:


On designing always consider, where it really matters. In the opinion of Smart home builders, public places like a living room, dining area, kitchen etc. can be provided with some extra detailing while the bedroom, bathroom etc. can be kept simple. For example: the wooden finishing in the staircase definitely grabs our attention even if there is a delicious meal on the dining table.
Speaking about the material choices, Be wise, You don’t need an expensive tile in your bathroom, ceramic tiles still remain as the best solution in the eyes of house designers in Kochi.

6. Find some design copy cats:


If you have the idea of what you want, just shop around you may find similar designs at a much lower price. There may be some secret markets for such purchases in every locality. An experienced house contractor can help you to find one. Online markets are another solution, so checkout some online stores..!

7. Ignore external pressure:


Your relatives friends and neighbours always expect you to purchase products from where they did. “We have done our kitchen fabrication by so and so, They are really amazing..you should try them”...Don’t fall for such statements, what if such design doesn’t fit your home theme? Ask your builder or architecture they can suggest a solution that match with your theme also with a guarantee assurance.

As a creatively oriented organisation, we often PLAY with every day utilitarian items, and reinterpret it in a different manner, to make it relevant for its  purpose, for the ambience and sometimes as a storyboard.
For most of us, who are parents, this past week mostly evolved around CHILDREN’s DAY celebrations. And this week, we pay a tribute to childhood…best encapsulated by TOYS. One can use this to design and decor their Kids room. Toys are reminiscent of a carefree, innocent time in our lives, mostly spend in a makebelieve world. Recapture a bit of that whimsical world in elegant interpretations as decor in your home or office table.
A few ideas that are inspired by toys and accessories...




The old truck as table decor or CD holder, the worn teddy as wall art, dinosaurs drilled to hold toothbrushes, test tubes from the science experiment as spice rack in a kitchen,  the zoo as canister tops, mirror framed with the hot wheels favorites, lego men in a the old gold fish bowl as a tea light holder, bath tub rubber duck from a time with mama…..Not all of it has been tried and tested by us, but here’s one that made a striking entry detail…

KEEP CHASING THOSE BUTTERFLIES…Celebrate childhood for life...!!
