For quite a long time, top kitchen designs were restricted to the homes of rich families in India. Kitchen designs evolved over the past few centuries in Western Europe and North America, so modern ideas like modular kitchens were made available to the middle-class decades ago. But the internet era has seen the quick spread of innovative ideas in kitchen design with the click of a button. Also, rising disposable incomes, innovative technology, use of sustainable elements, etc., make it possible to custom-design your kitchen as per the space available.

Modular is the new evolution in kitchen design and technology that helps you customise your culinary space as per your wish. Be it functionality or aesthetics, modular kitchens are the new trend. 

Top kitchen design ideas 

Whether you’re building a new kitchen from scratch or renovating your existing one, these ideas will help you.

1. Open shelving: If you intend to save some cash or make your kitchen appear larger, open shelving helps. It’s also a departure from the traditional upper cabinets. Apart from creating an airy and spacious feel, it allows you to showcase your favourite dishes, cookbooks and decorative items. 
2. Prioritise functionality: Demarcate clear areas for each task, such as cooking, cleaning and others for a clutter-free kitchen. Also, for a seamless workflow, ensure that the cooktop, sink and refrigerator are in proximity to each other. This will enhance kitchen efficiency and productivity.
3. Use natural elements: You can add indoor plants, wood accents and stone countertops to bring nature into your kitchen. It gives your kitchen a welcoming atmosphere. 
4. Mix & Match: You may mix wood, metal, glass and stone to enhance the kitchen appeal with a dynamic and eclectic look.
5. Personalise: You can always add your family photos, favourite paintings or other items to get that truly special look. 
6. Backsplash: You can enhance the aesthetics of your kitchen walls while protecting them. So, use tiles from a combination of unique materials, textures, colours and patterns to achieve this. The material chosen should be easily cleanable so as to maintain aesthetics and cleanliness. 
7. Integrate appliances: This helps with a seamless workflow in your kitchen. It also blends with the kitchen design and adds to the aesthetics. Love a polished look?
