📖 This is the Story of Swati...
Swati — a houswife from Kolkata — went to buy her first flat, and the builder showed her a shiny 2BHK. Swati thought: "Brilliant! It's so big! Now I'm going to give my home those Architectural Digest vibes!" 🎉
3 months, 4 lakh rupees, and 200 YouTube videos later — the house looked something like this: A 7-foot sofa in the living room (in front of an 8-foot wall), a corner table in the bedroom that she banged her knee against every morning, and in the kitchen — well, let's not even talk about the kitchen, there was only room for a person to walk sideways. 😂
Moral of the story: Big house ≠ Good interior. Interior Design is a skill, not luck!

What is Interior Design? (Honestly)
Interior Design is an art and science where we make any space functional, safe, and beautiful. It's not just "buying pretty things" — it is a complete process involving space planning, psychology, materials, lighting, colors, and budget.
💡 Super Simple Definition:
Interior Design = Organizing a space in such a way that it looks beautiful, is easy to live in, and feels peaceful — all within your budget! 😄

Interior Design vs Interior Decoration — Brothers, but Different!
| Interior Design | Interior Decoration |
|---|---|
| Starts with space planning | Comes in after the space is ready |
| Can involve breaking/building walls | Only surface-level changes |
| Plans electrical and plumbing | Curtains, cushions, artwork |
| Requires a professional degree (for pros) | Anyone can do it with knowledge |
| Process: Concept → Blueprint → Execution | Process: Buy → Place → Done |
