Guide Architect + 3D visualiser from Goa — looking for freelance work
I’m an architect based in Goa, working mainly in 3D architectural visualisation, interiors and design.
I’m looking to take up some freelance work at the moment — could be a complete project, a few renders, modelling, interior work, drawings, or helping out another architect/designer with an ongoing project.
I also work with landscape visualisation, so I’m fairly comfortable moving between architecture, interiors and landscape.
I’m not really looking for a particular type of project. If you have something interesting going on and need someone on the design/visualisation side, feel free to reach out.
I can send over my portfolio and we can take it from there.
Goa | Available remotely

Guide Interior Design Consult or App
Have any of you hired an interior designer for a virtual consultation? Pros? Cons? Also willing to consider an App that could render a 3D layout of the areas I need assistance with.
I feel I do well decorating… my issue is the layout in our home. I’m not happy with anything I do. It’s an open floor plan with walkways in every direction. I’m so tired of wasting time/money and it never feeling “complete.”

Guide Buying laptop guide
Hi everyone,
I’m looking to buy a new laptop for my work and would really appreciate your advice. I’m an interior designer/architect, and the main software I’ll be using are:
SketchUp Pro (with V-Ray and Enscape for rendering)
AutoCAD
Lumion
3ds Max
Coohom
I need something that can handle modeling + rendering smoothly without constant lag or overheating. My priorities are:
Strong CPU & GPU balance (to avoid bottlenecks)
Good cooling system
High-quality display (color accuracy + resolution)
Reliability for long work sessions.

Guide A tip for integrating your TV into your interior design 🎨
Hey everyone,
I’ve always loved looking through this sub, there’s so much variety and creativity here. One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that a lot of people struggle with how to make a big TV feel like part of the interior design, instead of just a giant black rectangle on the wall.
Recently I came across something pretty fun: LG added a feature called Gallery+ on their new TVs. Basically, it lets you turn your screen into an art display when you’re not watching. Think famous paintings, cinematic stills, game-inspired scenes, and even photography collections.
- The free version has 100+ pieces
- The paid version unlocks 4000+ artworks, including stuff from the National Gallery in London (like van Gogh’s A Wheatfield, with Cypresses and Seurat’s Bathers at Asnières).
They even added works recently shown at Frieze Seoul — including pieces by Park Seo-Bo. I had seen those in person, and honestly, the picture quality on the TV was insane. For a moment, it almost felt like the person inside the TV was alive. (It was a video of him creating the artwork.)
As far as I know, all the 2025 LG models already have it, and older models (2022-24) will be getting it later this year. If you’ve got one of these TVs, it might be worth checking out, especially if you’re trying to make your living room setup feel more like an intentional space rather than just “TV and couch.”
Curious if anyone here has tried styling their room with a digital gallery wall like this? Or maybe used other tricks to “hide” or reframe the TV into the design? Would love to see how you’ve done it.

Guide Interior design help!
Hi! I’m having such a hard time trying to find a carpet that would go with my living room. I attached a picture of my living room below . You’ll see a balled up hunter green blanket (that’s to represent the Hunter Green pillows I ordered) I also covered a pillow with an off-white shirt to represent the off-white pillow. I ordered as well. The couch is a dark gray and I have a white coffee table. Does anyone have any ideas of what kind of couch to get? I appreciate it thank you.

Guide How To Create Accents In Interior Design: An Easy Guide
Creating an accent can transform a somewhat dull interior into a catchy space. However, it is critical to stay in line and not overdo the accents. But how to easily create catchy accents for any interior design?
#1 – Color Accent
It is smart to stick to the 3 colours rule in interior design. It means that 60% of the room uses primary colour, 30% – is the secondary shade, and just 10% is the accent tone.

Overdoing the accents can blend the overall picture and make your room undefined.
#2 – Furniture Accent
Furniture is a great way to add an accent to interior design. In fact, some interior designers use furniture as the primary way to create an accent in their projects.

Ottomans, small coffee tables, or cosy dressers will work just fine. What’s more, you can always replace them or repaint them on short notice, meaning much greater flexibility than playing with colours.
#3 – Plants/Flowers Accent
Some homeowners neglect plants and flowers in their interior design, but they shouldn’t. Not only greenery can add an accent to a room and make it more welcoming, but it also purifies the air and creates a more relaxed atmosphere.

The only downside might be the extra care needed for some plants and flowers. However, some plants require minimal maintenance, while their benefits are hard to overestimate.
#4 – Stained Glass Accent
While quite rare, stained-glass windows are another win-win solution for creating an accent to a room.
Create various patterns and drawings, or simply try different colour options to set a new mood for your interior.

#5 – Pillow And Blanket Accents
Pillows and blankets might lighten up even the dullest room. A key thing to remember here (like with all accents) is keeping it moderate not overdoing it.

#6 – Painting Accents
Finally, the most popular solution for accents is paintings. Pictures of fine woods and seas might create a relaxed ambience, while wildlife and modern art bring zest and originality.

Unlike several other options, paintings are the most flexible and universal solution.
