We are giving customized wall paper, wooden flooring, wall tiles, furniture, visual merchandising products like lamps etc. which can be of any size with any sort of image or theme as per the needs of our customers. The objective with our interior solutions is to give the customers a look & feel know-how and they themselves can pick and choose and sort of Do-it-Yourself for their homes or showrooms or offices.”
