now that i am kind of waist deep, if not neck deep into the interior decoration project, automatically a few posts shall get filled in this section.
after speaking to a few designers to do up our home, we selected one. the main criteria here was, he was open to our ideas as well! a couple of well deserved posts will follow with some other outrageous experiences we have had.
kitchen getting a priority over other places in the house was a no brainer.
well, so have pretty much chewed our brains over designs, appliances accomodated, facilities and ease of use and most importantly the budget!
the plan has kicked off and material etc is set to arrive. now i need to be sure about the colour scheme which shall play an important part. i went to the internet for some ideas but all i got was ikea kind of images which were nowhere close to an indian kitchens. some pics like these :
then to get some real ideas, i went to the home pages of brands like godrej, nuplus etc. which provide modular kitchen services here. and i got these pics :
our designer guy has suggested using dark brown, pale cream and silver colours.
something isn’t just quite striking me right now. still thinking……………
Oh, I am officially jealous now! I have been itching to do something like this but there’s no scope for that in our nomadic lifestyle and rental homes.

Stainless steel appliances are all the rage these days as you would probably know, so that takes care of the silver part? I personally prefer lighter and brighter colors – whites, yellows, peach or pale greens etc. for the kitchen but they are the toughest to maintain.
Your color scheme sounds good too. Please post pics of the designs when you can! And good luck!
