Modular kitchen design tips for beginners


1. Identify the work triangle of your kitchen

For the uninitiated, a kitchen work triangle forms your refrigerator, sink, and counter.

2. Ideal worktop height

The standard counter height for a kitchen is generally decided by the average height of people in a country. In India, the height of the counter usually ranges from 820mm to 860mm. It is comfortable for most people to work. Make sure the space between the kitchen cabinets and the counter is not too much. If it is too high, it can be difficult for shorter people to reach the upper shelves.

3. Choose kitchen colors wisely

Remember to keep the kitchen long-term. It might be best to avoid an all-white kitchen simply because Indian cuisine tends to cause a lot of tough stains. All-white kitchens require constant cleaning and a lot of maintenance. But that doesn't mean you blindly go for bright shades. After all, darker shades attract more heat, especially in summers. You can always choose a combination of the two to maintain overall harmony.

Pro Tip: Make sure your kitchen color matches well with your overall home décor.

4. Ventilation is key

Cooking is an activity that generates a lot of heat. Make sure your kitchen has enough ventilation. Most kitchens have a fireplace or exhaust fan (or both) to vent fumes from frying. Ideally, there should be a door in the kitchen that opens onto a balcony or laundry area. This would allow fresh air in and ensure that kitchen smoke does not collect inside your home.

5. Kitchen lighting

Nothing can beat the natural light coming through the window to illuminate your kitchen. However, in natural light, make sure there is good lighting in the kitchen in the evenings and evenings. Ceiling lighting will illuminate the countertop where most of the action happens. Under cabinet lights are becoming popular as they provide direct light onto the countertop.
