1.1 Background and Necessity for the Website

As modern home interiors have become increasingly popular, individuals often find
themselves overwhelmed with various design options, furniture choices, and decor elements.
This is where a dedicated home interior Website can provide significant value and convenience
to users. Some reasons how such a Website can be useful are as follows:

 Centralized Platform:

A home interior design management Website acts as a centralized platform where users can
view various interior designs, accessories, and products that can enhance their homes. They
can also view information about different professional interior designers and their rates, work
experience, and more on a single platform instead of multiple Websites.

 Project Costs Display:

With the ever-increasing number of design options available, it is easy to lose track of
projects and their associated costs. A home interior Website enables users to estimate costs
by viewing cost of different designs, accessories, and products. By having a clear overview of
items that their projects may require, users can make decisions as per their budgets more
effectively.

 Convenience and Time Savings:

Home interior design Website revolutionizes the way people approach home decor by
offering a digital hub for inspiration and planning. This online platform brings together diverse
design elements, from furniture to color schemes, in one easily accessible space. Users can
explore curated collections, trending styles, and innovative ideas from designers worldwide,
all from the comfort of their own homes. The Website allows individuals to draw inspiration
from real-world examples.

1.2 Proposed Solution

The proposed solution is to create a Website called 'HomeStyler' that allows users to view
home interior design elements and inspirations on one centralized platform.
The Website should provide features such as displaying design images, accessories, and
products to improve home interiors.
It should also display prices of different designs and accessories and provide searching,
sorting, and filtering functionalities. The site can display details of professional interior
designers along with their profiles and rates.

Website, what the Website will do, and the constraints under which it must operate. This
document is intended for both stakeholders and developers of the Website.

1.4 Scope of Project

HomeStyler will be a responsive and visually appealing Website to be used by individuals

interested in home interior design.

design products and ideas. It will provide a wide range of products and sample room designs
to cater to various user preferences and requirements. Profiles of professional interior

2. Viewing Design Styles:
- Users should be able to view design styles by selecting categories from a predefined list.
Categories can include Living room, Kitchen, Bedroom, and so on. The site can also
feature different types of trends such as Contemporary styles, Elegant look, and so on.

- Each design page will include images, descriptions, and list of products used in the design.

- Users should be able to view the cost of each design.
