Our perspective on furniture designs has seen a significant transition ever since the idea of modular furniture, such as wardrobes and kitchens, entered Indian households. The idea of kitchen design doesn’t seem to be the same when it comes to modern homes. The traditional carpenter-made kitchen designs had a few flaws, which the contemporary sophisticated modular concept has been able to address with its effective fixes. Modular kitchens not only offer high functionality but also create convenient kitchen spaces having elegant designs.
The kitchen is a space that you use for the most part of the day and it is truly the heart of your home, so the layout of your home kitchen needs prior planning and consideration. It mayseem that the task of designing a modern modular kitchen interior is daunting, and you will definitely end up investing a lot of your time and energy into the whole project, but tackling one aspect at a time will help you come up with the best modular kitchen design for your home.
Withtheadvancement in technologyand the change in social dynamics, the face of modern European modular kitchen design trends hasundergone a huge shift in perspective. So, let’s look at the latest design trendsinthe modern modular kitchen industry:
- Include a kitchen pantry: A pantry for your customised modular kitchen can turn out to be a very useful and important part of your kitchen design. You cannot style a functional kitchen without reference to where the food will be stored.
Nowadays, European modular kitchen pantries provide a dynamic accommodative space, which can include everything from intricate dinner sets to fine glass jars meant for storing spices, lentils and others.
Rather than cramming everything into insufficient cabinet or drawer space, the kitchen pantry allows you to be better organised and provides you with much easier access to items that are used ona frequent basis.You can also stock up on large quantities of dry goods and non-perishable foods.This ultimately adds up to less clutter in the kitchen, and larger stocks of food for unforeseen future circumstances.
Also, pantries are the best place to store kitchen appliances that aren’t used on a daily basis but you still need access to. If your customised modular kitchen doesn’t have an adequate cupboard or cabinet space for such itemthen the kitchen pantry is often the best solution.
- Play around with the backsplash: Adding a quality backsplash to your European modular kitchen design will help make the space stay cleaner, look better and provide long-term protection. It is most commonly used in areas that are more susceptible to deterioration. In your kitchens, these areas would mainly be behind the stove or the main preparation counter.
Besides providing a great long-term solution for protection, backsplashes also offer you the opportunity to be creative with them.Based on the layout and the size of your kitchen, you can have the backsplash wrapped around the entire kitchen or place it in some select sections. Fromclassic marble to vibrant stone and bold laminate, there is a wide range of available materials, colours and patternsthat you can consider for your kitchen backsplash to help lift up the space.
- Dark is divine: Although white cabinets add a classic appeal to any kind of kitchen style, there is a gradual decline in their popularity. To move away from the all-white kitchen trend, people are now leaning towards the inclusion of dark colours in the kitchen through the countertop or the cabinetry.
Shades such asblue, green, black, navy, emerald green and even plumare making an entry in modern kitchen layouts. Moody colours for the kitchen give the room a sophisticated and edgy appeal. The dark kitchen cabinets trulyenhance the look of the modular kitchen space with its luxurious and dramatic feel.By including dark colours in your customised modular kitchen, you can highlight the space and make it a focal point in your home.However, you must ensure that the dark colourdoes not completely overpower the room, makingit feel perpetually dark.
Dark European modular kitchen cabinets help create anelegantand luxurious atmosphere that thelightershadescan’t. With darker colours,if you include items such as brass knobs, pendant lights or stainless steel décor, you can make all the difference and tiethekitchen look together.
- Kitchen islands are all the rage: The kitchen island hasnow transformed intothe hub of the kitchen layout. The kitchen island is meant to create an impact, and its unique designs are bound tomake a statement.
