Founder/ Principal Designer
ABOUT
“Utpura” is the Tamil word for Interiors. For the love of the language and for the simplicity yet uniqueness the word holds, Nivedithaa chose Utpura as her firm’s name.
Founder and principal designer Nivedithaa Ramaswami is an avid traveller and an excited AirBnb stay-surfer (yes, it’s real!) , based in Coimbatore. Having graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, her career path changed and Utpura was born in late 2017.
Jute and brass planters, vintage artifacts, rhapis palms, earthy tone curtains – these are Utpura’s signature design elements. We strongly believe in incorporating the works of local artisans to bring a personal touch to our projects.
Over the span, Utpura has covered interior design and allied projects spanning from studios and offices to restaurants and residences. We aim to make the space feel as warm and cozy as possible and also keeping in mind the responsibility we have towards the safety of the environment.
Our Coimbatore-based firm is now providing online design consultation (e-design) services across the globe which helps the clients with designing or revamping their rooms from the comforts of their home, without the physical presence of an interior designer.
When choosing the right pendant or chandelier to hang above a dining table, aim for a fitting that is between half and two-thirds of the width of the table. This will ensure everything is in proportion.
Certain colours are said to impact productivity and it is said that blue tops the list. It can contribute to the feeling of confidence in individuals. Green and yellow are also said to promote productivity in organisations.
Incorporating natural elements like indoor plants , large windows and natural light in an office’s design improves work productivity by 15%.
To create an illusion of more space, paint the walls, skirting boards and ceiling in the same colour. This will blur the lines of where the walls end and the ceiling begins.
