300 Modular Kitchen Design Ideas 2022 (Decor Puzzle)

Hello everyone and welcome to DecorPuzzle. Today we'll be telling you 8 modular kitchen design tips for first timers. Layouts, cabinets, pullouts, countertops. If this is the first time you're getting a modular kitchen design for your home, be ready to be bombarded with jargons that may go over your mind. Wondering what all pointers should be kept in mind when you meet an interior designer or venture out in the kitchen market? Here's a go-to rulebook for first timers on how to get started with your modular kitchen design and plan. Number 1 Identify your kitchen work triangle. For the uninitiated, a kitchen work triangle constitutes your refrigerator, sink, and hob. A large part of choosing a kitchen layout is deciding how these three essential items interact with each other, like the location of and the space between each. Draw up a rough sketch of your kitchen space before thinking of the layout. Number 2 Ideal countertop height. The standard counter height of a kitchen is usually decided by the average height of people in the country. In India, the counter height is generally between 820mm to 860mm. It's comfortable for most people to work at. Ensure that the space between your kitchen cabinets and the countertop is not too much. If it's too high, it may be difficult for shorter people to reach the upper shelves. Number 3 Choose colours wisely. Remember that you will need to maintain the kitchen in the longer run. It might be best to avoid an all-white kitchen, simply because cooking tends to result in a lot of stains. All-white kitchens demand consistent cleaning and are high on maintenance, but that doesn't mean you blindly opt for bright hues. After all, darker shades attract more heat, especially in summers. You can always choose a combination of the two to maintain the overall harmony. But a nice tip would be to make sure that your kitchen colour goes well with your overall home decor. Number 4 Ventilation is key. Cooking is one activity that generates a lot of heat. Make sure that your kitchen has sufficient ventilation. Most kitchens have a chimney, an exhaust fan, or both, to vent out the frying fumes. Ideally, there should be a window in the kitchen to let more air in, or a door that opens out to the balcony or the washing area. This would allow fresh air to come in and make sure that the smoke from the cooking doesn't collect inside your house. Number 5 Kitchen lighting. Nothing can beat natural light flooding in through the window to lighting up your kitchen. However, with natural light, ensure that there is great lighting in the kitchen for the evenings and nighttime. Overhead lighting will light up the countertop where most of the action happens. Under-cabinet lights are becoming popular as they provide direct light on the countertop. Number 6 Safety first. When it comes to the kitchen, one of the most important things to consider is safety. From safe gas piping to curved countertop's edges, you should think about all different ways to make your kitchen safe. Make sure that even the flooring you choose is slip-resistant. Your appliances should be close to the switchboard and there should be some space between the sink and the stove. Number 7 Don't ignore corner spaces. Often, while creating storage shelves and cabinets, we ignore the corners. However, nowadays there are plenty of options available to make the best use of corner spaces. Professionals can help you personalize your layout and get the most out of the space available. After all, there is no such thing as too much storage available in the kitchen. Number 8 Trash it right. Some people prefer to keep the trash can in plain view so that it's easily accessible. These are easy to clean as well. However, if the thought of seeing the garbage can in the open is not for you, you can get built-in bins. These are constructed behind the cabinet door, usually under the sink. But here's a tip. Don't forget to ask for separate ones for your dry and wet waste. We hope you got some ideas for your own kitchen. Don't forget, these are just the basics. You should put in a lot of thought and research while doing your kitchen interiors because it's an expensive investment. Your cooking space can always be customized, made eco-friendly and functional.

And let's get started. Today, we're gonna give you the best storage and design ideas for small kitchens. No one ever has enough kitchen storage or counter space. Literally no one. So, if your kitchen is relegated to, say, just a few cabinets in the corner of a room, you likely really feel the stress of figuring out how to make everything work. Luckily, this is something that we specialize in. So, we've rounded up the best ideas and tips of all time to help you make the most of space you do have. From unique cabinetry solutions to little tricks, these ideas just might help you feel like you've doubled your kitchen's square footage. The first tip is Hang a pegboard. Your walls can hold more than you think they can. Think pots, pans, and even canisters that can hold utensils. Instead of hanging a couple of more limiting shelves, try a pegboard, which adds very flexible storage space that can be adjusted over time as your needs change. Second, use the top of your cabinets. The tops of your cabinets offer prime real estate for storage. Way up there. You can stash special occasion serving platters and even extra pantry supplies that you don't need just yet. If you're worried about how it will all look, consider using some pretty baskets to hide your stash. Consider a fold-down table. Don't think you have room for a table? Think again. A fold-down table on a wall, in front of a window, or hanging off a bookshelf almost always works. This way, you can use it when you need and get it up and out of the way when you don't. Four is to get the cute folding chairs and hang them up. Whether you end up going with that fold-down table or not, you can free up some floor space by hanging your dining chairs when you're not using them. In case you haven't noticed yet, we're huge fans of hanging as much as possible. It really saves space. Five, turn your backsplash into storage. Your backsplash can be more than just a pretty focal point. Hang a rail on it, a magnetic knife block, command hock, or even a narrow shelf. Six, turn cabinets and pantry shelves into drawers. We love a shelf when it's on the wall, but when it's in a cabinet or a pantry, it can be really hard to see what's buried deep in the back. That's why, especially in small kitchens, where there's not a lot of room to get in there, we prefer drawers. If you can't renovate, simply add baskets to these shelves so that you can pull them out to access what's in the back. And use little shelves where you can. Again, we're not anti-shelves. We just prefer narrow ones over deep ones so that nothing gets lost. How narrow? Really narrow, like just deep enough for one row of bottle or jars. Stick to narrow shelves, and you can also put them nearly anywhere. Use your windows as storage. You might not think of windows as a storage space, but small apartments may get you thinking differently. If you live in a small apartment, the bold decision to hang your collection of pots and pans in front of the kitchen window will need a uniform collection of handles, and it will end up turning into a fun focal point that is smart storage, too. 9. Put your dishes on display. If you lack enough cabinet space to store all your dishes, steal a page from this food-stylish ideas and put them on display somewhere else. Get a freestanding shelf or bookcase, ideally one that's tall so that you don't need to give up a lot of floor space for it, and load it up. No room in your kitchen area. Steal space from the living area instead. Steal space also from neighbor's room. Just kidding. Steal space from neighboring rooms. That brings us to our next point. So, your kitchen is only 5 square feet. Try stealing a few extra kitchens from another room. Turn the top of your fridge into a pantry. We've seen the top of the fridge used to store all sorts of stuff. Sadly, it often looks messy or wasteful, but a curated selection of your most used pantry ingredients will look nice and it'll make things easy to grab in a pinch. Hang a magnetic knife rack. When countertop space is at a premium, every square inch counts. Squeeze out a bit more room by taking your country to the wall with a magnetic knife strip. You can even use it to hang things that aren't nice. Use the sides of your cabinets. If you have cabinets that don't butt up against a wall, you've got a few square feet of bonus storage space. It's true you can hang a pot rail, add shelves and more. And the bottoms. Just when you think your cabinets are totally full and they can't possibly hold another thing, consider the underside of them. You can add hooks at the bottoms to hold mugs and small tools. Or use a magnetic strip to make a folding spice rack. And the inside of all your doors. Whether we're talking about your cabinet's door or your pantry door, there is space to be used on the side of them. Hang up measuring cups, make a bulletin board, add a shelf, etc. Add a mirror. Even a small one does a lot to make space feel bigger. Thanks to all reflected lights. Plus, you can check it out to see what sort of funny faces you make while you stir or chop. Add shelf risers wherever you can. Put shelf risers in your cabinets, hang shelves on any available wall space, and add little shelves to your counter to free up space. Put a small utility cart to work. It is actually perfect for instant pot storage. They have a small footprint but still have plenty of room for storage. And because these come on wheels, they can be pushed into a closet or the corner of a room and pulled out to meet you at your workspace when you need it. Turn your stove top into extra counter space. During dinner preparation, your stove top is just wasted space. That's why we love this idea to build burner's covers out of cutting boards and instant bonus counters. Or you can use the lead of your stove. Do it too for your sink. You can put a gorgeous cutting board over half of the sink to add more counter space. By only covering half, you can still access the sink if you need to rinse anything. So that's all for today. I hope you enjoy it. And if you do, please don't forget to give this video a thumbs up. And I will see you all next time. Thank you for watching. Hello everyone and welcome to DecorPuzzle. Today we'll be telling you about modern kitchens we can't stop swooning over. Whether you're partial to an all-white design or live for a pop of color, there's nothing like a sleek and modern kitchen. Take contemporary cues from nature or go for a total modern luxury. Keep your palette classically monochrome or opt for bold color throughout. No matter which path you choose, a modern design scheme will always reign supreme. A modern open-concept kitchen with blue cabinets, marble island countertops, contemporary dining stools and chairs, as well as striking ceiling lights that look like contemporary sculpture. Modern kitchen with hardwood floor. A modern kitchen featuring white accents and stainless steel appliances, bar stools adorn the breakfast board. Sleek white and metallic modern kitchen with quartzite island. In the expensive monochromatic chef's kitchen, stainless steel upper cabinets complement streamlined appliances. Smooth slabs of quartzite flank the stainless face that rises behind the range and creates a fantastically multifunctional waterfall edge island in the center of the room with a sink, a quartet of board drawers, nooks for cookbooks and a massive prep and serving surface. Bright eating kitchen with crisp white cabinetry. The kitchen accommodates seating for three at the island, as well as the small dining area for four. Crisp white cabinets paired with very dark flooring create a beautiful contrast in the space. Open modern kitchen with decorative island. This spacious kitchen features a large island with hidden bar space. A gorgeous wood finish adds an accent panel to the island, perfect for creating movement within the crisp, sharp lines of the design. Wood tuft bar stools face the built-in cabinets, including frosted glass cabinets framing the blue tile backsplash.
