Modular vs. Custom Interiors: Which Is Right for Your Home?
Designing your dream home is all about making the right choices—from layouts and colours to materials and finishes. But one of the most important decisions you’ll make early on is:
Should you go with modular interiors or custom-made solutions?
At Saloni Narayankar Interiors, we often blend both depending on the space, budget, and lifestyle of the homeowner. In this blog, we’ll break down the key differences and help you decide what’s right for your home.
What Are Modular Interiors?
Modular interiors are pre-designed components manufactured in factories and assembled on-site. These include modular kitchens, wardrobes, TV units, and storage solutions available in standard sizes and finishes.
Advantages of Modular Interiors:
Faster installation (as quick as 3–4 weeks)
Factory-finished quality and precision
Easy to dismantle and shift (great for rentals)
Budget-friendly for compact homes and mid-range projects
Best For:
Apartments in Hyderabad, especially 2BHK/3BHKs
Projects with tight timelines
Homeowners looking for efficiency and standardization
What Are Custom Interiors?
Custom interiors are fully tailor-made to suit the client’s space, taste, and requirements. They’re crafted on-site or partially off-site and allow for complete design flexibility.
Advantages of Custom Interiors:
Fully personalized design and sizing
More finish, detail, and material options
Ideal for vastu-based layouts or non-standard spaces
Perfect for statement pieces like pooja units, TV walls, or decorative panels
Best For:
Luxury or long-term homes
Villas and larger flats with unique layouts
Clients with very specific aesthetic or functional needs
What We Recommend
We believe the smartest homes are a mix of both.
Here’s how we typically guide clients:
Use modular for kitchens, wardrobes, and standard storage
Go custom for pooja units, wall paneling, TV units, study nooks, or uniquely shaped rooms
Combine smartly to manage both timeline and budget, without compromising on design
Our process always starts with your lifestyle and layout. Once we understand your priorities, we’ll design a solution that works beautifully—not just in photos, but in real life too.
