Designing Your Dream Kitchen Interior Tips and Tricks

Who doesn't like a highly functional and incredible kitchen? The Kitchen is one of the most important places, often known as the heart of the home, where we gather and bond over food. Therefore, when getting your interiors done, you should pay utmost attention to your kitchen. 

There are a lot of options available today for designing your dream kitchen. You will find many professional interior designers in Bangalore who can design different types of modular kitchens such as L-shaped kitchens, U-shaped kitchens, Galley Kitchens, Island Kitchens, Peninsula Kitchens, etc. With the help of this blog, you will be able to unearth some tips and tricks that will help you design your dream kitchen interior as per your needs.

Tip 1: Planning and Design

The first step in designing your kitchen is to assess your requirements. For example, some people cook often, so they might need most things at arm's length, while others who spend less time in the kitchen might have different needs. Another important tip is to communicate with your interior designer regarding the distance you want between the refrigerator, stove, and sink. Next comes planning the layout of the kitchen, which can have a L-shaped, U-shaped, straight kitchen design, etc.

Tip 2: Storage

Once the layout is finalised, you will be able to determine the storage requirements. There are various kitchen storage cabinet ideas, such as the use of organisers and drawers, that help you keep the utensils perfectly arranged. Moreover, you can also think of something to utilise in the area under the sink, such as installing a pull-out dustbin. Additionally, the wall space can be used to install open shelves that are easy to access and display daily-use items. If you feel that the space in your kitchen storage cabinets is not enough, installing wall-mounted racks for pans, pots, and other utensils can be a good idea. In addition, it is important that you find out which type of kitchen– L-shaped, U-shaped, straight kitchen design suits your storage requirements. 

Tip 3: Materials

Selecting the correct type of materials is a crucial step. You would have to choose from different materials, like marble, granite, quartz, etc., while also analysing the cost, durability, and maintenance. For example, if you select quartz kitchen slab, it is a robust as well as low-maintenance option. 

While choosing cabinet materials, it is advisable to research the pros and cons of each material type – MDF, wood, plywood, etc. Next comes the kitchen flooring materials – generally vinyl, tile, laminate or hardwood are preferred. It is better to have some basic idea about the flooring materials before you discuss it with your home designer. 

Tip 4: Lighting and Fixtures

It is essential to have proper kitchen ceiling lights so that you can cook your food hassle-free with the correct ambience. There are some specific areas that also require task lighting, such as near the stove and under the cabinets. To complement your kitchen ceiling lights, you can also get pendant lights to style your kitchen. Moreover, using energy-efficient appliances in the kitchen creates a streamlined look.

Regarding fixtures, the different kinds of sinks – undermount, farmhouse, single bowl, double bowl, etc. can be compared and installed accordingly. Additionally, try to complement the faucet with the sink so that it serves both convenience and style, like a pull-down faucet.

Tip 5: Colour and Style

The selection of colour palettes can be according to your personality and the one that also serves the purpose. You can also get a harmonious kitchen colour combination with a blend of bold and neutral shades. Besides the kitchen colour, style is another factor that you need to pay attention to. You might like incorporating rustic, modern, transitional, or traditional design styles by installing a wooden beam or vintage hardware.

Tip 6: Personalised Touch

If you have an artistic side, you can personalise your kitchen by undertaking some DIY kitchen design projects. For instance, if you are a nature lover, you can add plants in the kitchen, or if you are an art enthusiast, you can display family pictures to give it a more personal touch. If you are creative enough to undertake DIY projects, you can create your own bamboo stands for spoons, knives or tissue that can be placed on your quartz kitchen slab. Another option for you is to design the used bottles and hang them in the kitchen to match the kitchen colour combination.
