How to Personalize Your Apartment in Kochi for Maximum Comfort

Posted onJul 25, 2025

Kochi is the most cosmopolitan city in Kerala, with tremendous growth opportunities. The exceptional road and rail connectivity, naval base, seaport, and international airport, links the city not only to the rest of the country but the world. There is a powerful IT industry presence as well. No surprise then, that the real estate market trends in Kochi, are on a rising graph, with flats being the preferred residence type.

Apartments can seem impersonal and monotonous, seeing as they all (or most) have the same layout, dimensions, and external appearance. But there are many things you can do to personalize the space and make it warm, cosy, and inviting.  If you’re wondering how, you need not worry. We have some simple tips for you, and you can start building your dream apartment.

Let Your Apartment Reflect your Personality

Colours

You know yourself best. Are you someone who prefers quiet time with family and close friends and is not a party person? In that case, warm colours like yellows, rust, earthy browns and maroons will be good. 

If you’re a fun, vibrant person with many friends and like to entertain often, bright colours, like purple, royal blue, peacock green, orange and so on, will work best.

Furniture

Large overstuffed sofas and armchairs with throws and cushions encourage intimate conversations, and are the way to go, if you prefer a close, warm circle. 

Go for leaner furniture like armless chairs and sleek sofas so that you can seat more people if you love to entertain. A long table, a crockery unit with a built-in bar, and an open kitchen-dining room layout will work best

If you love reading, create a quiet reading nook in a corner of your bedroom or even the living room if you wish, or prop up a mini-sofa by the window so that you get natural light and air when you read. Display your books in an ornate wood carved bookshelf with glass shutters.

Decor

Showcase art that you like, and souvenirs collected from your travels. If you like tradition, display traditional crafts and artwork, like wood carvings, brass lamps, and handwoven tapestries.

If you prefer contemporary design, choose minimalist decor with clean lines and modern art pieces.

You can also experiment with your own art, if you or anyone at home have the ability. Let your imagination take wings on a piece of canvas, which you can then hang with or without a frame.

Lighting

Quirky LED lights and a few spotlights on the ceiling will go very well for a jazzy atmosphere, while soft lights, chandeliers with dimmers, etc. can help complete the look for a quiet, warm space.

Strings of fairy lights, and a good music system, are what you need if you love to entertain friends and family often.

Furnishing

The home linen you choose also says a lot about you. If you like nature and are conscious about sustainable decor,  use fabrics like cotton, linen, bamboo fibre, banana fibre etc; bamboo and recycled wood furniture are great choices.

To add pizzazz to your apartment, choose velvet, silk, and chenille fabrics, throws and rugs in vivid hues, and cushions with quirky covers.

Fragrance

Fill your home with fragrances you love; use flowers floating in water, scented candles, incense sticks, or fragrance pouches for this.

Fill it With Your Memories

Throughout your apartment, you can hang large framed photos of you, your family, friends, and pets. Nothing can be more personal than that! Fill your home with memorable moments spent with your loved ones, and those of special occasions and festivities.

You can also get coffee mugs digitally printed with photos of you and your family, and display them on floating shelves on the wall. You can have them in different sizes and arrange them in an abstract manner or even make a collage.

Display family heirlooms if you have obviously not ornaments, but perhaps some old implements, vessels, or curios handed down through the generations.
