The most intriguing challenge that haunts an interior designer while setting up the design of a modern kitchen is space management. Unlike the yester years, not many of the modern families stay in bungalows or family mansions which have all the space in the world to utilize. Majority of the modern apartments, especially in urban Indian cities are pigeon’s holes and space management is the key to fine living. You will find a lot of space-saving furniture which are especially deigned keeping in mind these modern apartments and in kitchens too, things are no different. The interior design ideas for modern kitchen are based on this concept and the designers are coming up with innovative ideas that not only saves space but enable you to fit in as many items in as minimal space as possible.
Apart from this, another factor that you may come across while browsing the best interior design websites, is a clever use of color for kitchens. Though in the western society there is a propensity of using white as a standard color for the kitchen cabinets, keeping in mind the Indian way of preparing food and all the spices and oil we use while cooking that may not be the best idea. Using a darkish color, preferably the wood colored cabinets is a better idea in the Indian context.
In case you are lured to use a more dramatic color to keep away the boredom of everyday stuffs like cooking and arranging meals, I would advise to choose colors very cleverly and make sure that the color of the cabinet actually ‘goes’ with the rest of the kitchen. Be innovative in implementing your interior design ideas. You should choose the color and style of the cabinet so that they are fit with the get up of a modern & contemporary kitchen. One way of doing this is by painting the walls with a contrast color so that the color of the cabinet strikes you.
A safe way of choosing colors for kitchen interior design ideas is to go for a palette of neutral colors. This will really help you to blend the color of the cabinet with the rest of the fittings in your kitchen. You can also refer to the colors of the stones on the floor or the wall tiles to design the cabinet and other furniture (if any) in your kitchen.
If you see that the look you are trying to give to your kitchen asks for installation of some additional tumbled marble or ceramic backsplash, you may opt for that. This will surely give your kitchen the much needed cohesion so that cabinets won’t stand out as the “odd ones” any longer. For that, you can take the help of the house interior design pictures that you will find online.
Now, let us turn our attention to your kitchen doors. Generally, people look for plain doors, especially for kitchens which are small. However, you can make a difference again by being innovative in your interior design ideas. Add a little bit of carving & molding. That will add something ‘extra’ to the door thereby uplifting the overall look of your kitchen. And of course the handle knob – this needs to be modern and contemporary that will be apt with your kitchen. Opt for a handle that runs all along the length of the door and provides an awe-inspiring sparkle that will be very much in line with the rest of your kitchen.
