Design for functionality
Whether you wish to renovate your existing kitchen or build a new one along with the home you are building, the best choice for an easy-to-maintain modular kitchen is, of course, Sleek. Their kitchens are designed to withstand the daily grind while maintaining their beauty and clean, stylish looks for years to come. It is always important to design your kitchen to be functional and low maintenance because you are busy people and do not have the time or patience to spend on cleaning and repairing.
There are many ways to make the kitchen look fabulous while making it virtually maintenance-free and easy to clean.
The Flooring
Let’s start from the ground up. The floor bears the major brunt of all the action in the kitchen. People come and go, stand around and work for long hours in the kitchen. The floors have to be hardy, easy to clean, and dust. There will be a lot of spilling happening. It could be curries that can stain easily, especially with the amount of turmeric we use in our cooking. Then there can be spillage of cooking oil. All these must be easily cleaned off so that no stain is left. Flooring without grout lines is best. There are materials like linoleum, sheet vinyl, and others that can be considered. Wooden flooring is not recommended because it could stain the curries unless wiped off immediately. The best choice is large-format glazed tiles which can be easily wiped clean. Gout can be epoxy because it too helps in keeping the kitchen clean.
Best Countertops
Today you have a lot of choices than the usual tiles for countertops. You can choose snazzy materials like coated laminates, stainless steel for the ultra-futuristic look, quartz which gives a rich feel, and Corian for the choice of colors and textures. Traditionally granite is preferred for countertops because you can get large sizes that nearly completely fit your kitchen and hence there are almost no grout lines. Here again, epoxy grout is a great choice. Quartz comes in a range of colors – reds, blues, and black and black with sparkles. Being very hard and resistant to staining, granite is easy to clean, looks good and is virtually maintenance-free, and lasts a lifetime.
Cabinets for Appliances
Today’s kitchens have to make space and plan for all the gadgets that will be used within the kitchen. It is not enough to have space for a refrigerator, microwave, cooktops, mixers-grinder – there is an ever-increasing range of appliances like Hoods, Dishwashers, Hobs, Ovens, Coffee machines, Air Frier… and more which have to be provisioned for. All the appliances need to have a space where they can be neatly tucked into and retrieved easily for use. They need easy access to power and their cords need to be tucked away too. The appliances too can cause their own spillages which need quick cleaning. Luckily with Sleek Modular Kitchens – from Asian Paints, you can plan for all that. There are lots of innovative ways to store the appliances with easily sliding cabinets, cabinet spaces, and more.
Sinks, under-sink, drainboard, and trash
The best kitchen designs enable the countertop mess to be easily cleaned and wiped off straight to the sink. The sinks are strategically placed within reach of the area where all the action takes place. All the washing of vegetables and minor vessels can happen quickly and easily. The countertop can remain wiped sparkling clean. Proper garbage disposal and a counter for cleaning products are all tucked in – so that nothing yucky is exposed. The nooks are easy to reach and clean and do not provide space for insects to hide. Drainboard too can be designed to direct water from washed utensils and plates directly into the sink, keeping the kitchen dry at all times.
