Interior Design
Kitchens, living spaces, storage and finishes carried through as one connected home rather than a series of separate decisions.
What this covers
Kitchens, living spaces, storage and finishes carried through as one connected home rather than a series of separate decisions.
Where a house becomes somewhere to live
Interior design is the point at which room sizes turn into daily life. Where the sofa faces. Whether two people can pass in the kitchen. Whether there is somewhere sensible to keep what a family actually owns.
Structa treats it as a continuation of the architecture rather than a separate exercise, because the two constantly affect each other — a kitchen layout changes where sockets go, and a built-in wardrobe changes where a window can sit.
Designing interiors for this climate
Sri Lankan humidity is unkind to the wrong materials. Interiors here need finishes that tolerate moisture, surfaces that stay comfortable in heat, and ventilation paths that are not blocked by the furniture layout.
It also rewards designs that blur inside and outside — a living space that opens onto a shaded verandah or courtyard gains far more usable room than its floor area suggests.
What you receive
- Interior space planning with furniture layouts for principal rooms
- Kitchen design — worktop layout, storage, appliance and service positions
- Built-in storage and wardrobe design
- Material, finish and colour direction across the house
- Lighting approach, coordinated with the electrical drawings
- 3D interior views of key rooms
Why this stage changes the electrical drawing
Seeing where a television, dining table or bed will genuinely sit is what tells you where sockets and light points are needed — rather than where they are habitually placed. Deciding interiors before the electrical layout is finalised is the difference between a house that works and one that needs extension cords in every room.

Common questions
Interior Design FAQs
What information is needed to begin interior design?
Start with the land location, available survey information, the spaces or outcomes you need and any drawings already prepared. Structa will confirm the remaining inputs before work begins.
Can Structa provide this service outside Colombo?
Yes. Structa is based in Colombo and works with homeowners across Sri Lanka. Site access and the information required for the appointment are confirmed during the initial discussion.
How is this coordinated with the other house drawings?
The service is developed from the same project information used by the architectural, structural, interior and building-services disciplines, reducing conflicts between separate drawing sets.
