Stainless Steel Kitchen or a Regular Modular Kitchen in Wood? Which Should YOU Choose for Your New Home

Stainless steel kitchens are gaining popularity in Indian homes, known for their durability, hygiene, and modern aesthetic. While traditionally seen in commercial settings, stainless steel is making its way into residential spaces, offering a robust, easy-to-clean option perfect for the demands of Indian cooking. However, it’s not without its drawbacks—higher costs, susceptibility to scratches, and a colder appearance may be factors to consider. For those seeking long-lasting, low-maintenance solutions, stainless steel is a great fit, especially in humid areas, though balancing it with other materials could provide a warmer, homier feel.

Shutter Finishes and Types: Shaker Panel, Raised Panel, Slab, Membrane, Duco, PU, Laminate, Acrylic, MDF, HDHMR or Glass – Which one is right for you?

What most customers do not know is that the type of shutter and the finish you can have on it are related, the finish in turn determines the ruggedness of the shutter and hence its appropriateness for specific spaces for the home. So, while it is great to want to have a certain shutter style in one’s home it is important to understand whether the style can be matched with the finish and the type of use of the shutter & your own lifestyle.

Lighting Design for Homes – Interior Design Done Right

Lighting Design fundamentally determines the personality of the space and how people perceive it, feel in it and how they ultimately behave in it.

Lighting for Ambience is really the art of managing the Darkness.

Interior Design & The Culture of Space

Each space, the way it is designed, built, maintained, kept dirty or kept clean exudes a certain culture, that culture drives the behavior and life of the people occupying the space – be it a family, office staff, visitors or shoppers. This is perhaps the same reason why pan gets spit in spitted corners and not in clean corners and why garbage is dumped on un-maintained land just because the land is anyhow unclean and a bit more garbage will not change its nature.

Let’s take this a step further – if the manner in which a space is built and maintained can determine the way people behave in it then can we not consciously Design spaces to cultivate a certain culture and behavior? The answer to that is an absolute YES

I AM

The idea for this post came when, during a design discussion, the lady of the house said “I AM a Home Baker”, so I asked her to send me pictures of her present Kitchen just to get some pointers on how the new kitchen should be. To my surprise I saw very little baking equipment in there.
