Interior Caring and Creativity

Ideas from Katherine Mondadori

A place to live in or one that provides shelter from the harsher forces of Nature is what we term as a house. The basic necessity would be that the house must be enclosed from all sides – meaning four walls and a roof, but not everyone looks at it that way. To some people, their house is just a place to recuperate from the busy and demanding schedule of their everyday routine. They keep the place clean for hygienic reasons and equip it with a bare minimum of necessary items. However, the vast majority of people treat their house like an extension of themselves and take a lot of effort to design and decorate it. They want their house to reflect their personality and look unique as well. It sounds very easy but like a lot of other things, sounds easier than it is. Housing space is at a premium these days and buyers have found new ways to use the space available in the most effective way possible rather than look for more space. A smart way to do that is to use furniture options that allow you to use a minimum amount of space for maximum storage and utility. For example: wardrobes, Pooja units, shoe racks, modular kitchen cabinets and the like. What these articles of furniture do is let you use the vertical space along the wall to the maximum extent in a way that would have been impossible to do without using a cabinet or cupboard. You can’t stack shoes one on top of another along the wall without any support. Today, you get wall shoe racks that can house up to 10 or 12 pairs of shoes, all within an area of maybe 2 by 6 inches.

Articles of furniture like this that help you optimize the available space in your house without making your house look like a furniture showroom are termed modular furniture. Because they are manufactured in modules that are designed according to the various areas of your house where you may need them. There are multiple modules available for every room in the house; the modular cabinets for the kitchen being very popular and fast becoming a standard part of every kitchen in newly constructed houses. Using modular furniture in the house is like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Depending upon the space available in each of the rooms of your house, you can choose from the available patterns of shelves and cabinets available to create the best solution that works for your needs.

Modular interiors not only include cabinets like crockery cabinets, shoe racks and modular kitchen cabinets, but also Pooja units and panelling for the walls. These serve to enhance the look of your house while saving you the expense of multiple items of furniture for the same purpose which will only take up space. These are available in single colour themes as well as designer options with co-ordinated motifs and colour themes to brighten up your rooms. So if simple and subtle is not your style, you can choose to decorate your home with designer furniture.
