Moving up north to ‘Gurugram’? Here are five home decor ideas, tips, and hacks that should make your stay a tad more comfortable
A city characterised by rapid urbanisation, Gurgaon is a leading financial and industrial hub in India. Such has been its progress, in fact, that the city in Haryana has the third highest per capita income in the country today. While that is impressive, moving and adapting to the city, though, isn’t a cinch — especially if you’re going to be living from hand-to-mouth. Building a comfortable home on a budget might seem onerous, but if you have Rs. 5,000 to spare, this little guide should help you transform your apartment into a home.
Minimalism Does Wonders
The houses in Gurgaon aren’t exactly tiny, so filling up all that space might be a pain in your bottoms. However, following the minimalistic method of designing not only helps you make the most of the space, but will also prove to be light on the wallet. Less is more, after all!
Delhi Holds Answers
If you stay in Gurgaon, you’re bound to make frequent trips to the capital. Delhi, blessed with its multifarious reputable markets, has more than a few readymade options that should help deal with your decor woes. Chandni Chowk, Panchkuian Road, and MG Road all harbour some terrific thrift shops. Amar Colony has a fantastic range of furniture stores that will definitely surprise you with its options too.
Understand The Benefits Of Renting Furniture

If you move houses or worse, cities, taking all that clutter along with you with cost a ridiculous amount of money. Renting furniture from Rentomojo not only saves you that hassle, but also helps you set up your home the way you want to — all at a reasonable prices.
DIY!
With an abundance of labourers in the country, tasks like plumbing and carpentry are often considered menial and thus, paid for. However, DIY isn’t just a great way to build a new hobby and while away the free hours, but it also helps you to build and do up your own house, the way you want to, all on a budget.
Reuse, Recycle, and Repurpose
Just because something’s cheap, does not make it worthless. As mentioned before, DIY is a great way to recycle and reuse junk or cheap raw materials to create great decor. Another great idea is to get your hands on second hand furniture, which can be sold or discarded easily when you move again. And lastly, if you do move with your own furniture into your home, don’t buy new stuff, but instead, learn to repurpose it. If done correctly, a desk could easily double up as a dressing table, or a TV stand. All it’ll cost is a bit of your time, imagination, and creativity.
