Most people would agree that no room is complete without a little touch of one’s home decor skills. The good news is, there are plenty of furniture pieces that perfectly fit your taste. You will find them if you know where to look. One such dream like solutions happens to be Eskay, a firm that specializes in manufacturing home decor and arranging themed events.
Saimul Karim who is the mastermind behind the brand has a journey that despite being a complex one lead to where he wanted to be. From a very young age his knack for crafts and art was recognized by his parents who always prioritized his choice while shopping.
“My parents always looked to me to validate their fashion and art choices and I loved giving my opinion. I realized that choosing fabrics, home decor and even fashion pieces keeping colors, patterns, and textures in mind was indeed a fascinating task,” he said.
With a conservative family whose members mainly specialized in business subjects, Saimul faced a big challenge to even consider making a career out of his passion. But he kept on discussing his ideas with friends and family members and still found great happiness in taking creative decisions. After a major accident leading to a knee replacement surgery, he had to take a break from his studies for a while.
“That was my breaking point,” he explains. He worked with a few creative friends working in the fashion industry and volunteered to help them during this time. Soon he got an offer from a Café owner to put up a furniture showroom — he was asked to share the same space with them.

“As our customer base grew we took over the whole showroom but had to switch to our present location due to a few contractual problems. This current showroom has been designed with great care,” said Karim, and hastened to add, “It wasn’t done overnight. I gave careful attention to each detail and constantly added to it during our four years here.”
For the customers shopping for furniture he advises to give functionality a higher rank than the look of it.“You have to really consider the context of the space where you will keep the furniture piece in. Next you need to look into color and design — they have to complement your floor, wall and ceiling,” he continued.
In light of people looking for minimalist home decor, he recommends buying a basic piece at an affordable price and then customizes it. “Not only do you end up with a unique piece but you also get the job done at a very affordable price.”
Even though he cannot allocate enough time from his shop to customize furniture he still believes in sharing his ideas with customers and close ones. “Whenever customers come here to shop, I closely look at their choices and try to recommend them giving their choice a priority. Taste varies from person to person and I believe that giving them an inclusive frame of choices is what we cater to.”

When talking about the newlyweds he says that the three most important rooms to redecorate include the bedroom, living room and dining room.
“It doesn’t have to be expensive because there are a lot of options available these days. The bedroom, where you spend most of your time, must include pieces that give you a sense of positivity and relaxation- in better terms a setting that makes you feel at home,” he says, adding that putting up lots of mirrors is an interesting way to make yourself feel good and comfortable while at home.

Besides, Karim suggests switching things up every now and then before it gets boring.
His philosophy is straightforward: “Life is too short to stick to the same setting. Make small changes and have a little fun! Rather than throwing furniture away why not give them a new look by changing the upholstery.”
