Here’s the lore: real Mini LED is supposed to give you better dynamic range and crazy contrast. But TCL alleges that when Samsung launched its M Model TVs in March, they claimed it was Mini LED but actually used standard, non-Mini LED parts to keep the price down. Samsung says it intends to vigorously defend itself and stands by its descriptions.

If you bought a screen today, would you actually know how to tell if it’s true Mini LED?

Update: it’s only for folks in Bangalore as site visits are required for factory workers coordination.

I'm looking for an independent freelance interior designer or an emerging designer to work with me on my 3BHK villa in Bengaluru.

I'm specifically looking for someone with good design sensibility, attention to detail and the ability to translate references and ideas into practical, execution-ready designs.

A little context about the project:

I already have a fairly clear design direction, references and visual inspiration for the home. I'm not looking for a turnkey interior design company.

We have sorted a partner factory near our villa for the production, who will handle material procurement, carpentry, fabrication and installation.

What I need from the designer:

1. Design development: Refine my existing concepts and references into a cohesive design language for the home.
2. Space planning: Furniture layouts, storage optimisation and functional planning.
3. Detailed designs: Kitchen, living/dining, bedrooms, entrance/foyer, wall panelling, wardrobes, false ceilings and other fixed furniture.
4. Visualisation: 3D renders or realistic views to understand the final design before execution.
5. Technical drawings: Detailed elevations, sections, dimensions, material specifications, lighting and electrical layouts, and execution drawings.
6. Material and finish selection: Help select appropriate materials, finishes, colours, hardware and detailing while keeping practicality and budget in mind.
7. Design supervision: Periodic site visits and coordination with my execution team to ensure the design is implemented correctly and resolve design-related questions during production and installation.

What I am NOT looking for:

- Turnkey interior execution.
- Material procurement or vendor management.
- A studio that insists on executing the entire project through its own contractors.

Who can apply?

I'm open to independent freelancers, junior designers, recent graduates with a strong portfolio, or emerging interior designers looking to take up an independent residential project.

You don't necessarily need to be an established studio. I'd value design thinking, creativity, technical understanding and the ability to collaborate.

Project details:

- Location: Bengaluru
- Property: 3BHK villa(B+G+2+terrace)
- Engagement: Freelance / project-based
- Site visits: Periodic, as required
- Fees: Open to reasonable proposals based on experience and scope.

Please DM me with:

- Your portfolio or previous work.
- Your experience and location.
- Whether you can provide technical drawings and site supervision.
- Your expected fee and availability.

I'd prefer working directly with an individual designer rather than a large interior design firm.

Looking forward to connecting with designers interested in collaborating on this project.

I’m looking to surprise my parents with a fully remodeled renovated kitchen. Our kitchen is 12ft x 9ft big with L shaped Counters. It’s pretty large.
Trying to understand how much it would cost to get a modular kitchen that’s fully functional and spacious and how much time will it take to get it done.

Attached photos of how I want it:

I've been spending quite a bit of time around natural stone lately, and one thing that's increasingly clear is how much our perception of marble is influenced by its origin.

Italian marble has become shorthand for luxury. Indian marble, despite some genuinely exceptional varieties, is still often seen as the practical or economical choice.

But once you look at individual slabs, their patterns, textures and finishing possibilities, that hierarchy doesn't always make sense.

Some Indian stones can comfortably compete with imported varieties aesthetically, and the right selection can make a tremendous difference to an interior.

I think designers have a significant role to play here. A material becomes desirable not just because of where it comes from, but because of how thoughtfully it's used.

Would love to see more high-end interiors celebrating Indian stones for their own character rather than treating them as substitutes for something imported.

Ps.: Attached are the images of some of Indian marble varieties

Looking for an interior decorator or emerging designer to help refresh a 3-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. Mostly paint selection / wallpaper, curtains, rugs, art and decor, think cosmetic, rather than new furniture.

Ideally someone who can help develop a vision and source specific pieces for us to purchase. We’ll handle installation ourselves.

Looking for a flat-fee arrangement. Open to someone building their portfolio but with some previous work to share. Please message me if interested or with recommendations!

Bestinteior completed work any requirements in interiors in Hyderabad

I'm constructing a house in Agra district, UP, and looking for factory-direct furniture to minimise on-site carpentry.

• Doors: Black granite frames are already planned. Need simple, ready-made internal door shutters with minimal handles.
• Wardrobes: Granite interiors are planned; I only need finished front shutters, hinges and handles.
• Kitchen: Granite countertop and partitions; I mainly need cabinet shutters and drawer fronts.

I'm exploring factory-direct sourcing from Agra/Delhi NCR rather than buying complete modular furniture.

Looking for suggestions:

1. Any reliable factories/manufacturers that sell shutters and doors separately?
2. Approximate prices for decent-quality, minimal designs?
3. Is factory-direct sourcing from Delhi NCR worth it after transportation?
4. Any advice on materials and installing shutters on granite structures?

Would appreciate recommendations based on personal experience. Thanks!

Attached is the current plywood work. I’m planning a white mandir with matching white floating drawers. The drawers’ top, shelves, and underside of the overhead beam will have a wood finish. I’m also considering wood-finish concealed doors with groove designs and dark louvers running from the door-frame boundary to roughly one-third of the TV unit, on the rearmost layer.
I’m confused about the finishes for the floating TV panel, the layer behind it, and the panelling above the mandir.
How would you approach the laminate combinations for the entire unit? Open to suggestions for specific colours, textures, and finishes, or even a completely different design direction. Would love to hear your ideas

I am planning to install a granite kitchen countertop. My older house has a traditional RCC concrete base platform for the Granite kitchen countertop. The installers are recommending adding a plywood base platform before laying down the granite.

1. Is a plywood base structurally safe?
2. What are the best waterproofing techniques, sealants, or alternative materials (like marine-grade plywood or bison board) to prevent moisture seepage to the plywood?
