12 Square Interiors: Reimagining Interior Design With Vision & Technology

According to a report published by the IMARC Group, the India interior design market size is expected to reach $51.4 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3 percent during 2023-2028. A number of factors are contributing to the growth of this industry in the country. Rapid urbanization across the country and technology innovations have given this industry a different point of view and brought about diversity in projects executed. 3D modelling has played a significant role in interior design over the last decade. Consumers have the freedom of choosing the right design from a set of designs customized to their requirements. However, finding the right service provider becomes a little problematic at times for the consumer. The primary reason for this is the unorganized state of this sector in the country. The interior design sector faces operational challenges like miscommunication, unsatisfactory outcome and lack of clarity in consumer understanding. Bangalore based 12 Square Interiors founded by Sumit Chandak, observed these challenges in the market and started off with an organized process management for interior design projects.

The company specializes in residential and commercial interior designing projects and are executed through sheer excellence by a team of experts. “While I was building my home in Bangalore back in 2013, I faced a lot of obstacles in interior design. There was a lot of miscommunication and the outcome was nothing like we had expected. That is when I felt

that customer understanding of a project must be given first priority which is exactly what my company does for all the customers”, states Sumit Chandak, Founder, 12 Square Interiors.

Standing Apart
The company understands the monetary burden that comes along with the making of a Dream Home. Hence, it asks only for a nominal token payment of 5-10 percent of the project value, at the time of entering into the contract, to start the designing process. The remaining balance is to be paid depending on the progress milestones of the work reached at the site. 12 Square Interiors is a client focussed and extremely flexible company in terms of interior designs. “Our designs do not come as fixed boxes. Instead they can be customized as per one’s needs to bring out the best in your dream home. The designing team and the execution team works in tandem so that false commitments aren’t made to the clients while design phase in in progress, any increase in costs than the budget given, due to a change in design, is communicated in the designing phase itself, so that the client can take immediate and informed decision whether to go ahead with a particular design or not”, mentions the Founder.

It focuses on only 5-6 projects monthly so that it can give personal attention to the minute details and as a result, achieve greater customer satisfaction and positive client feedback. 12 Square Interiors understands that after sales service is a big problem in the industry and hence, it doesn’t compromise on material quality and uses only the best that is available in the market.
