All About Those Floors!

Artistic creations don’t have to be confined to your walls. When it comes to your house, there are plenty of ways to infuse beauty and design. From the décor to the furniture, each piece of your overall vision can be accented with an artsy essence. There is, however, one important element that plays a crucial role in enhancing the aesthetics of your house! Wondering what that is? That’s right! It’s undoubtedly your flooring!! The floor design reflects the concept and quality of your life and is an extension of who you are. Adding interesting designs to your flooring not only breathes life into the space but also defines its energy. Selecting the correct design that blends in well with the interiors of your house is important to give a wholesome finish. Without the right flooring, your room can have design elements in all the right places and still not look right. The design idea for your floor must depend entirely upon your personal taste and also the room interiors.   

Reflecting Nature through Design

Nature! Where do we start with this perennial source of inspiration – be it artists, architects or designers, everyone has looked to nature for creative inspiration at some point or another. A close look at nature can unlock the imagination and inspire the deepest form of creativity! Nature paints the most beautiful pictures that can easily take your breath away. Wouldn’t you agree that nature’s wonderful creations deserve a collection of their own?! You bet they do!      That’s where Parallax Design Studio comes into the picture!

Pint-sized Goa is more than just beaches and trance parties. Goa's identity is defined by its beautiful natural environment together with the prevalent Indo-Portuguese and vernacular styles of architecture.

Becoming a part of history!

It was a moment of great pride for every Indian when Ahmedabad bagged the World Heritage City status from UNESCO. The 606-year-old walled city founded by emperor Ahmed Shah was declared India’s first World Heritage City on July 8, 2017. And, rightly so we say! The Indian independence movement developed its roots in this city, led by the  Father of our Nation – Mahatma Gandhi who was at the forefront of India’s non-violent freedom struggle. What additionally contributed to this rightly deserved title the city proudly holds today is the exemplary architecture of the intricately carved wooden Havelis dating back hundreds of years!!! Ahmedabad stands unique as a culmination of various architectural styles and a historical relevance that defines its outstanding universal value. The city of Ahmedabad is endowed with a rich architectural heritage that is vital to the local identity and continuity of the place.  BFT is proud to be associated with the city having helped in the r
