Tips to personalize your kitchen interior:
Here are the tips to personalize your kitchen interior.
Start with the color palette:
The colorscheme of the kitchen will set the tone of the kitchen, and therefore, you should select colors that you love. However, if your kitchen is a small modern kitchen, select lighter colors. You may want to create a monochromatic look or create contrast in your kitchen, conduct some research and explore modular kitchen models to learn which color scheme would work best.
You should also create contrast with materials, such as contrasting white marble with warm wood tones.

Plan practical storage:
Kitchen storage planning is a crucial aspect of kitchen design. By personalizing your kitchen storage planning, you will create functional storage that will help you keep your kitchen clutter-free.
Start by estimating your storage needs and plan storage modules accordingly. To keep things simple yet convenient, opt for sleek, handle-less storage modules like modern kitchen drawers.
Open shelves in unique designs can also be added. These shelves will enhance kitchen functionality, as you can put the items of daily usage on these shelves.
Furthermore, these floating shelves can be added anywhere in the kitchen, even in the wall corners.
Add an island or a breakfast bar:
You can further personalize your kitchen interior by adding an island or a breakfast bar as per your need. The breakfast bar can be a cozy serving station, where you can serve breakfast, snacks, etc.
However, an island could be a significant addition to your Indian kitchen interior, as it could serve multiple purposes. On one hand, it could transform into a functional workstation, where you can engage in meal preparation activities, or enjoy a cozy coffee session with friends. Determine its purpose, and select an island accordingly.
Assess your available space before adding any such element to your kitchen design. A breakfast bar, or a peninsula might be compact, and might not need a lot of space, but an island would take up a considerable amount of space in your modular kitchen interior.
Follow the work triangle rule:
While personalizing a modular kitchen interior design, you should think of convenience. Implementing the work triangle rule will help you create a personalized workspace that is convenient and easy to access. The refrigerator, the cooktop, and the kitchen sink should be placed next to each other so that you can access these zones without bumping into anything. The work triangle also minimizes steps, thereby allowing you to quickly accomplish tasks.
Add shelves for displaying collection:
If you want to display your personal possessions then you must add shelves in the kitchen. Figure out the right place where you want to display items like cookbooks, vintage crockery etc.
You may also opt for glass-front cabinets for this purpose. When you display such items, you end up adding depth and warmth to your kitchen interior.
When guests come into your kitchen, your display shelf will become a conversation starter.
Plan an appliance garage:
In your kitchen, you do use multiple small appliances on a daily basis. However, making room for them might become a problem and you might end up cluttering the countertop. Why don’t you plan an appliance garage where you can put all your small appliances such as mixers, toasters, even coffemakers in a customized appliance garage. It will help in streamlining kitchen storage, and will help you keep your kitchen free from visual clutter.
Conclusion:
These simple yet effective tips will help you personalize your kitchen interior. Follow the tips and personalize your kitchen interior beautifully. Do not follow any trend, but seek inspiration and tailor them according to your needs.
