Kitchen Designs: Personalise your modular kitchen

The popularity of modular kitchens in Bangalore and other cities across India is rising because they are customisable according to design needs. However, there are still elements that can be added to your kitchen for that little personal touch or detailing that can never come as a package deal.

Just as a kitchen cooks up loving nutrition for your family and friends, the kitchen of life cooks up memories, artefacts and memorabilia that comes from a lifetime of cooking that cannot be marketed. Hence here are a few tips on how you can make your customised cooking space truly yours.

·         Mural Painting

The market for modular kitchens in Bangalore and other like places where apartments are becoming the norm is growing. This means that kitchens are usually in full view. Often a hallway that leads to the seating area is next to the kitchen. This could be a great space to bridge the two spaces with a mural painting that means something to and your family and friends and convert the entire space into one and potentially expand the space available for entertaining guests or activities with roommates or family.

·         Colourful Crockery

A collection of personalised or handmade crockery or cutlery is a real way to ensure that you kitchen is personalised and warm. Here we are not just taking about printing a photo on a mug. Ideas like hand making a mug or a pot with personalised quotes ofr artwork can be very endearing. The artwork need not be professional grade, just relevant. They make for not only useful equipment but double as excellent display pieces too. Not too bad considering the prevalence of open-floor designs and open kitchens.

·         Glass Covered Counter-Top

A simple idea like a glass cut out to the size of a side table or the small kitchen island can be great way to slip in family recipes, letters, and notes to your loved ones in the house. Remember any glass in the kitchen in the kitchen can be a hazard hence this has to a heavy sheet and cut to the right size to avoid slippage.

However, when done right it adds a nice warm touch to your kitchen, and the artwork will not be replicated or copied. It will be a unique display piece.

·         Pot of Flowers

This seems obvious, and it is. Small pots of flowers tend to add warmth to any space in the home. In the kitchen it can be personalised to include the flowers that you and your family members like. The fragrance can be your morning welcome, go well with your breakfast & coffee and get the day started on the right note.

Apart from this, if you are in the habit of garnishing or cooking with flowers then having fresh ingredients ready to go in your modular kitchen can be helpful.
