Biggest Interior Design Mistakes Homeowners Make | Budget & Material Truth

Welcome to Interior Monk — a podcast where interior design is explained in a clear, practical, and homeowner-friendly way.

In this episode, we uncover the biggest interior design mistakes homeowners make — especially when it comes to budget planning, material selection, finishes, and unrealistic expectations.

Host Vikram sits down with Prince Pathak, Co-Founder of Home Interiors & Casa Craft, to share real execution insights from years of working on residential interior projects across Delhi NCR.
