How to Plan Interior Design for New Apartment Buildings in Pakistan

Expert Guide by ACCO Construction

🏢 Introduction: Why Interior Design Planning Matters in New Apartment Projects

The interior design of an apartment isn’t just about looks — it defines lifestyle, functionality, and long-term value. As Pakistan experiences a rise in urban housing demands, especially in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad, builders and buyers alike are focusing on aesthetic yet functional interiors.

A well-planned apartment interior:

Enhances resale value 🏷️
Optimizes space and natural light ☀️
Improves energy efficiency 💡
Supports a modern lifestyle 🛋️

Whether you’re a real estate developer or a new apartment owner, understanding how to plan the interior design is key to success.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide: How to Plan Interior Design for New Apartment Buildings

1️⃣ Define Your Interior Goals

Before designing, ask:

Is it a luxury apartment, a rental unit, or family home?
Are you targeting minimalist, traditional, or smart home style?
What is your budget per square foot?

2️⃣ Involve Experts Early

Include architects and interior designers during the initial layout phase, not after construction. This saves cost and allows:

Proper lighting layouts
Concealed ducting
Structural considerations for wardrobes, false ceilings, etc.

✅ ACCO Tip: Engage a turnkey interior execution team early.

3️⃣ Plan Key Design Zones

Break down the apartment into zones:

🛋️ Living Area Design

Feature walls, media walls
Open vs closed layout
Sofa orientation for natural light

🍽️ Kitchen Planning

L-shaped, U-shaped, or parallel kitchen
Use of smart storage, heat-resistant surfaces
Ventilation and appliance placement

🛏️ Bedroom Interiors

False ceiling with mood lighting
Built-in wardrobes or walk-in closets
Sound insulation if near main road

🚿 Bathrooms

Tiles with anti-slip coating
Smart storage under vanities
Rain showers or wall-mounted options

🎨 Color & Lighting Palette

Light neutrals for small spaces
Layered lighting (ambient, task, accent)
LED options for energy efficiency

4️⃣ Materials & Finishing Choices

Category	Best Option	Economical Alternative
Flooring	Wooden Laminate	Porcelain Tiles
Wall Finish	Decorative Wallpaper	Plastic Emulsion Paint
Kitchen Counter	Granite or Quartz	Tiled Countertops
Bathroom Fixtures	Grohe, Kohler	Sonex, Porta
