A kitchen essentially has to be designed from the perspective of the person who will use it most – probably the housewife or the husband who is a great cook! Here functionality and ease of use as well as the space and design allow one to keep everything in its place within reach and with access being assigned according to the importance of the ingredient or the vessel that is most used.
Design and décor
It goes without saying that the kitchen has to look good and match the décor style of your home. While there are many modular kitchens in the Market, when you need a classy well-designed home kitchen, the best option is Evershine Agencies with Sleek Modular Kitchen in Cochin from Asian Paints along with their kitchen appliances and gadgets. Here are some insights if you are seeking a new Sleek Modular Kitchen for your home.
The layout is the most important
The kitchen is a space where a lot of work happens. There is a lot of movement within that space. It is a space that needs to be kept constantly and consistently spick and span. The design should allow maximum movement, fewer hindrances, all important items within easy reach, and safety at all times. The space should enable easy cleaning, no hidden corners where bits of food get lost and leaves no hiding spaces for insects and rodents.
Functionality speaks
The kitchen is a multi-functional space with a stove, refrigerator, microwave oven, dishwasher, grinders, and more. A poorly designed kitchen will have you running in knots from here to there to get things done. A good design makes everything work in symphony and harmony. It means you should consider the ‘work triangle’ or the area covered from the stove to the important devices and storage within the kitchen. This wide space allows more than one person to work together without banging into each other. The cooking is not interrupted and the serving of food also is done smoothly. This is the design challenge that the trained designers at Evershine Agencies handle almost daily for their prestigious clients.
Multi-tasking and multi-functional
The kitchen is a space where one is always multi-tasking inevitably. So the kitchen has to be multi-functional and versatile. While the housewife is cooking, she is also serving her kids who are getting ready for school. The husband too is helping, getting things ready for the lunch that they have to take with them to their workplaces and schools/colleges. An open and inviting design helps to serve and entertain guests even while the cooking is going on. Everyone is relaxed and there is a happy atmosphere facilitated by the beauty of the design, the choice of materials, and the sensational colors of the modular kitchen design.
Focal Point: The stove/hob and chimney/hood can be the focal point along with the sink. Build the kitchen around this. Large kitchens can have more than one focal point.
Lighting can be interesting: Dark Shades and Dark Quartz table/Countertops are preferred so that there is no staining visible. In such cases, interesting color lighting can make the kitchen look brighter, happier, and livelier.
Design for Clean Corners: Don’t neglect the corners because there is a tendency for dust and particles to accumulate there. Using the space intelligently will help in avoiding such issues.
Decide on the right height: Every person has a comfortable height till which one can stretch to reach for something. This element can be incorporated into the design. This can also determine the height of the cooktop/stove, sink, and microwave.
Cupboard design: The design has to be in accordance with the kind of utensils you wish to store and the grouping/bunching of it according to your preference. For example, you would wish to keep all the Kadai and Woks together and they could occupy significant space.
With a good floor plan and with specialized help from the modular kitchen designers in Cochin at Evershine Agencies, one can easily find all the right spaces for all elements – cabinets, sinks, stoves/Hob, gadgets, and equipment.
