Interior Design Tips to Remember When Developing Your Dream Home | DEHLCON

When building a house, most people focus on structure, layout, and materials — but often forget that interior design begins long before finishing. A well-planned interior doesn’t just make your home look beautiful — it defines comfort, functionality, and long-term satisfaction.

At DEHLCON, we believe that great design starts with great planning. Whether you’re developing a 5 Marla, 10 Marla, or 1 Kanal home, here are the key things to remember when planning your interior design.

🔹 1. Plan Interiors Alongside Architectural Design

Interior design isn’t something you do after grey structure — it starts with the very first drawing.
Your architectural layout should support your lifestyle: room placement, sunlight direction, furniture space, and ventilation.

When DEHLCON designs architectural maps, we ensure:

  • Logical room flow and movement paths

  • Natural light and air circulation

  • Proper wall spacing for wardrobes, TV units, and décor

  • Electrical and plumbing points planned with interior usage in mind

This coordination between architecture and interior design saves time, cost, and major rework later.

🔹 2. Define Your Style Early

Before construction begins, decide what style represents your personality:

  • Modern Minimalist (clean lines, bright tones, open layout)

  • Contemporary Luxury (rich textures, statement lighting, high-end finishes)

  • Classic Traditional (wood details, arches, warm lighting)

DEHLCON helps clients visualize their dream interiors through 3D renderings and virtual walkthroughs, ensuring every choice — from tiles to ceiling design — reflects your preferred aesthetic.

🔹 3. Focus on Lighting Design

Lighting transforms space.
Natural light makes rooms feel fresh, while layered artificial lighting adds depth.

Our designers plan lighting zones that balance functionality and ambience:

  • Warm lights in bedrooms

  • Bright task lighting in kitchens

  • Accent lighting for walls, ceilings, and décor

Remember: bad lighting can ruin even the most beautiful furniture — so never leave it as an afterthought.

🔹 4. Choose Materials Wisely

Your choice of materials impacts both look and durability.
In Lahore’s climate — hot summers and dusty environments — DEHLCON recommends:

  • Matte wall paints for easy cleaning

  • Non-slip tiles for bathrooms and kitchens

  • Moisture-resistant woods for wardrobes and doors

  • Double-glazed windows for temperature and sound control

We blend beauty with practicality, ensuring your interior not only looks stunning but performs efficiently for years.

🔹 5. Space Planning & Furniture Layout

Avoid clutter.
Even a large house can feel small if furniture isn’t planned properly. During design, DEHLCON maps furniture placement before wall construction — so every bed, sofa, and table fits perfectly.

Our experts ensure:

  • Clear walking paths

  • Balanced proportions between furniture and room size

  • Storage designed smartly inside walls or ceilings

Good space planning makes interiors breathable, comfortable, and visually calm.

🔹 6. Focus on Kitchen & Bathroom Interiors

Kitchens and bathrooms are the heart of a functional home.
Plan them with precision — not just for beauty but also for efficiency.

Kitchen tips:

  • Keep stove, sink, and fridge in a triangle layout

  • Use durable quartz or granite countertops

  • Add proper lighting above work areas

Bathroom tips:

  • Install concealed pipes for a sleek look

  • Choose anti-slip floor tiles

  • Ensure proper ventilation and natural light

At DEHLCON, we design kitchens and bathrooms that combine style with smart functionality.

🔹 7. Invest in Quality Over Quantity

Trendy doesn’t always mean timeless.
Spend more on high-quality materials that last — like strong cabinetry, imported fittings, and reliable finishes.

Our motto: “Build once, build right.”
It’s better to choose fewer premium materials than many cheap ones that fade quickly.

🔹 8. Maintain Color Harmony

Colors affect mood and space perception.
Light colors make rooms look spacious, while dark tones add richness.

DEHLCON’s interior experts use color psychology to match shades with room purpose — calm tones for bedrooms, vibrant accents for living areas, and neutral palettes for balance.

🔹 9. Technology & Smart Living

Modern homes in Lahore are adopting smart lighting, AC, and security systems.
Integrate these systems during the construction phase — not after finishing.
We help clients plan smart home wiring from the start for effortless upgrades later.

🔹 10. The DEHLCON Approach — From Vision to Reality

Interior design is not just decoration — it’s the soul of your home.
Our design philosophy blends architecture, aesthetics, and comfort into one cohesive vision.

From initial sketches to material selection and execution, DEHLCON’s interior team ensures your space reflects your lifestyle, taste, and identity — while staying practical and budget-friendly.

Building a house is one of life’s biggest investments. Don’t treat interior design as an afterthought — it’s what turns your structure into a home.
