Punjabi house design: Historical reference
Historically, Punjabi house design is influenced by the many periods that the state has seen – be it the Maurya rule, the Sikh rule or the British rule. Elements of these historical events have a place in the Punjabi house design.
The Punjabi house design is evident when you see the ‘Kothi’ which is unique and made of bricks and lime. While making a Kothi in the centre of the city is out of question, what you can do is design the exterior of your apartment to resemble that of Kothi. The entry foyer of your house can be embedded with red bricks and carved wooden doors like how the exterior of a haveli looks like.

While doing the house, remember that the backdrop of any Punjabi house design is earth and so, wooden furniture, use of bricks, etc., are very apparent. At the same time, Punjabi house design also sports bright colours which stand out beautifully with the earthy background.

Lattice work windows are predominantly a design that is seen in Punjabi house design.

Low-seating furniture for Punjabi house design
Another important aspect seen in Punjabi house design is the concept of low seating. You can design an area in the living room which sports wooden sofas with intricate royal designs that are low seating. Another top favourite is the charpoy or the wooden bed. While the charpoy usually is bare (without mattress), you can place a thin mattress and add throw cushions for comfort. Place it in one corner of your living room or maybe the terrace, with some phulkari throw cushions, giving the home an authentic Punjabi house design.
