5 tips to keep in mind when designing your kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of the house. It is the first place you enter and probably the last place you visit before bed. Be it for water or food a kitchen is for all moods. Due to this, it must be both functional and aesthetic. Whether you're cooking, cleaning, eating, or entertaining, the kitchen should be a space you enjoy being in, and thoughtful kitchen design can help make that happen. Your kitchen experience is dramatically affected by how easily you can move around the space when cooking or cleaning. A professionally designed kitchen maximizes movement, minimizes the need to stoop and reach, and improves your ability to use the kitchen as a multifunctional space. So often it’s the most obvious things that we simply forget when thinking about designing or reconfiguring kitchen layouts – such as where the bins go or how accessible the fridge is when you’re cooking. Here are 5 tips to keep in mind to have the best modular kitchen in Chhattisgarh:

1. Floor Plan

When designing a kitchen, the best way to start is with a kitchen floor plan. That way you can plan your kitchen design to make sure you have the best modular kitchen in Raipur. Ensure your kitchen floor plan includes enough room between cabinets and the island to easily move through the space. As a general rule, paths throughout a kitchen should be at least 36 inches wide. Aisles within the cooking zone should be 42 inches wide for a one-cook kitchen and 48 inches wide for a two-cook configuration. When planning, adjust kitchen islands and peninsulas accordingly.

2. Kitchen Layout

The three most important elements of your kitchen, the stove, the refrigerator, and the sink, form the kitchen triangle. Cooking and cleaning can become a long and difficult journey if the kitchen triangle has obstructions. The best modular kitchens in Chattisgarh and the world over follow a layout that will allow you to move seamlessly between the three and maintain flow in your work. A good kitchen workflow is essential and aesthetics for the kitchen should be designed keeping the workflow and kitchen triangle in mind. Your kitchen can have more than one work triangle but it is essential to keep movement between them free and open.

3. Ventilation and Lighting

Good ventilation is key for any kitchen, especially in one where you’re cooking up delicious dishes day in and day out. Cooking can leave lingering smells that if not ventilated can drift throughout the home. While the smell of home-cooked food is delicious at the moment, you don’t want the rest of the house to smell and ruin the atmosphere. Investing in a proper ventilation system can help deal with these issues. Furthermore, the kitchen is one room where you can’t afford to have poor lighting. It’s not just a matter of good design and atmosphere. Proper kitchen task lighting is important for safety when it comes to handling sharp knives and other kitchen tools.

4. Efficient storage

Even the corners can be utilized with something like a space-saving corner unit from Skyler in order to maximize storage potential.

5. Always have a backsplash

A common and easy kitchen design mistake to make is to leave walls unprotected. Kitchen walls need all the help they can get to protect against everyday life. Areas behind the cooker and sink especially need a layer of protection to ensure watermarks and spills don’t ruin the paintwork. When budgeting or designing a new kitchen or remodel, the backsplash sometimes slips to the end of the list. Or worse, it’s left out of the plan altogether. This may save you money in the short term, but in the long run, it will cost you a lot of time and effort.
