Over the last 5 years, the designs used for kitchens have undergone a gradual change. This was especially the case during pandemic, when most of the people were huddled up in their homes due to lock down and spent a considerable amount of time in their kitchens. So what really goes into the making of modern kitchen designs, let’s analyze.
- Colors:- White is gradually falling out of favour. People want something more vibrant as a part of their kitchen designs and thus, colorful cabinets are gaining traction. Emerald greens, rich navy blues and Grey are some examples.

2. Accents and appliances:- The ultimate tip of adding sophistication to your kitchen is the use of black color in accents and appliances. Black cabinet handles, black window panes, black steel pan and such other hardware is the latest in-thing in kitchen interiors.
3. Use of marble:- Marble is elegant, sophisticated and has an unmatched charm to it. So it is a go-to material to design kitchens. They also have an added feature of being cool naturally, thus making it ideal for baking or other types of cooking.

4. Material planning:- Let’s face it, most of us today want to have a kitchen which appeals to our senses. As a result, we strongly suggest choosing organic or earthy tones to feel warm and positive. Nature inspired designs are also a good way to connect to your surroundings while working in the modern Kitchen Designs.
5. Using neutral palette:- If your kitchen size is rather small, its better to go for uniformity in pattern, so that the kitchen looks pleasing. Thus, designers tend to use neutral palette rather than a bouquet of several colors, so that the kitchen does not look garish or over-beautified.
6. Adequate counter tops:- If one looks at the Indian context especially, a lot of ingredients normally go into every cooking procedure. As a result, a good design trend is to have multiple counter tops so as to facilitate this need. These counter tops also come in handy for those living alone or working couples who prefer cooking and having their meals in the kitchen itself!
7. Focus on storage:- An ideal kitchen must make it convenient for its users to locate the needed ingredients, appliances or other components and thus, storage should be optimal and in the right areas. For example, the best place to have pull-out drawers is near the stove or gas region, so that one can easily access anything in the same vicinity.
8. Natural light:- An important factor to consider is the inflow of natural lights into your kitchen. It not just purifies the environment, but also allows natural wind to flow through. For example, going for a design where the kitchen opens up into a balcony. Imagine, natural light flowing into the kitchen while also enabling you to grow herbs and spices in your kitchen balcony. Blissful, isn’t it?
Check out how this kitchen just gets the whole vibe right merely through the use of natural light.
9. Functionality v/s appeal:- This is a choice one must make before designing or re-designing the kitchen. Do you want to focus on the ease of functionality, or the charm of a visually appealing kitchen? If the former is your thing, then U-shaped kitchens are ideal as they ensure you get a look for everything around you, while standing in the cooking area. On the other hand, a kitchen island can help you make the kitchen attractive, thus making the kitchen visually appealing. Thus, a modern kitchen designs is ultimately decided by this factor.
