Isn’t the kitchen the heart of the home? That’s where the home-maker spends most of her time. The kitchen serves even as a meeting spot for the family. It brings all the members together for a tete a tete, or to discuss issues. We can even say it’s a second family room.
In one of Dsyncultr Review, the kitchen is referred to as the hardest working rooms in a home. They should know, they are one of the best home interior designers in Bangalore.
There are several simple ways to evolve a kitchen to become a focal point of the home. Where, apart from the time-honoured joy and art of cooking, several other pleasurable activities can be efficiently handled with ease. Of course, if you are fortunate to have a fairly large kitchen, the job is easier. Nevertheless, small can be stylish and smart too. Minor changes can make a small kitchen roomier and easier to work.
Little tips to make your kitchen functional, liveable and enjoyable:
- A small kitchen against a wall should have as much storage space as possible. Ceiling height cupboards store more.
- Have a smart chair-cum-ladder to reach the top shelves
- Ensure that every inch in a small kitchen should work for you. The trick is to avoid a cluttered look by judiciously using the space to the maximum.
- Pale colours for cupboard doors brighten up the kitchen while giving a roomier feel. A wide mix of colours to be avoided.
- Avoid heavy patterns for floor tiles and cupboard doors. Keep hues in the same family.
- Often-used items such as masala box, beverages, sugar, etc must be at arm’s reach.
- A jug of water close to the stove keeps you from running to the tap often.
- Larger kitchens can accommodate a special wall space for kids to draw or scribble. Easier for moms to keep a watch on the little ones and enjoy their prattle too.
- A small chair at the kitchen window will help you relax or read during that usual waiting time
in-between cooking. An attractive chair is more inviting and adds to the décor factor.
- Enhance the kitchen décor with a well-coordinated wall clock in an easy-to-see place. It is also vital for time-based cuisines.
- Open kitchens will allow friends to chat with you while you dish up your favourite recipe.
- Keep a section of the kitchen countertop free while entertaining, for guests to keep used glasses etc.
- Did you know a sight of a coffee mug stirs a cosy feeling? A visible display of beautiful coffee mugs on the wall adds to a very cheerful and welcoming ambience.
- Backsplashes should be medium dark in colour so that washing stains can be less visible. White should be totally avoided as dirt shows up vividly.
- A stainless-steel draining basket that fits on the sink neatly not only looks orderly but is also very functional when washing dishes.
- Don’t have an accident-prone kitchen. Avoid anything coming in the way of your foot when walking, like a jutting out cabinet, cupboard etc.
