Evolution of Interior Design and Hardware Industry – Arup Roy

The evolution of interior design and hardware industry has been phenomenal in the last decade or so. New technologies, emerging design trends, and changing customer preferences have influenced the way we approach creating hardware solutions for interior spaces. Being a part of Hettich India, a leading manufacturer of innovative hardware solutions, I have been fortunate to have witnessed firsthand the evolution of interior design and the advancements in hardware that have accompanied them.

Integration of Technology

One of the most substantial shifts in the past decade has been the integration of technology into interior spaces. Smart homes and connected devices have become increasingly popular, influencing both the aesthetics and functionality of our living spaces. Homeowners now demand seamless integration of technology in their furniture and cabinetry, necessitating the development of innovative hardware solutions to accommodate these requirements.

Rise of Minimalistic Designs

With the advent of technology, there has been a rise in the popularity of minimalistic and modular designs in interior spaces. Homeowners now prefer clean lines, sleek finish and clutter-free environments. This shift has had a direct impact on the hardware industry, with a surge in demand for concealed hinges, space-saving drawer systems, and handle-less solutions. This has compelled companies to revamp theirs product offerings, accordingly.

Customization and Personalization

In the last decade, the demand for customized and personalized solutions has increased significantly. Homeowners desire unique designs that reflect their individual style and preferences. From handles to drawer inserts and lighting fixtures, customization has become a key aspect of the hardware industry.

To conclude, I would say interior design and hardware industry has experienced a significant change over the past decade and as we move forward, it is exciting to witness the ongoing evolution of interior design and hardware, driven by the changing needs and aspirations of homeowners.
