Gone are the days when kitchens were just spaces where meals are cooked and dishes are washed. These days, Indian households have promoted the status of kitchens, in that, they consider the kitchen to be as important space as the rest of the rooms in the house. As people turn to better lifestyles, kitchens have now become a sacred space where meals are enthusiastically planned, cooked, and eaten.
As this trait becomes more and more popular, people have started to devote time, effort, and money to designing their kitchen spaces in customised and modern themes backed by ease and convenience of function.
If you too are riding this wave and looking to revamp your kitchen, here are 5 trends that have taken over in the kitchen world.
Hidden Appliances
One of the most sought-after and significant trends is that of hidden kitchen appliances where provisions are made to hide the kitchen appliances in cabinets. This helps to create the illusion of more space as things tend to look less cluttered and more spacious.
Island Table
This global trend has now entered India. Whether L-shaped islands or U-shaped, this trend is not just fashionable but also convenient for families who like to sit around and spend time together or just catch up with the events of the day.
Nature-friendly
Nothing can be trendier than sustainability. And the same can reflect in your kitchen design choices. Using environment-friendly material over harmful ones can set the tone for the rest of the house. An addition of aesthetic house plants will only add to the organic tone. Some even choose to grow their own herbs like rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, and mint in little kitchen pots.
Modern Colors
While white is no doubt a classic, in 2021, kitchens stand for brightness and energy. All kinds of greens like pistachio, dull green, and pastel greens are in. Even deep blue colors like teal will add personality to your kitchen and make it pop.
Introduce Art
Nowhere does it say that art need only be confined to the living room and bedrooms. Hanging beautiful art pieces in the form of paintings and antiques are bound to enhance your kitchen design and give it character. Wallpapers too are in – especially the ones with floral or more natural themes.
