In the Box

A box kitchen is another wonderful twist to the conventional kitchen. This layout is designed in such a way that it imparts an exclusive stance and opulent feel. The box kitchens are basically a part of the house, but segregated so smartly that they do not hinder other activities in the house. Usually a kitchen is designed either in the centre of the house or in-room with the living or dining area. This design makes use of coloured fragments that give a distinctive feel to the room along with making it bright and translucent. Appropriate storage space, accessible appliances and enough place for expansion makes it a hot favourite in our list.

Employ kitchen Islands

Kitchen islands are not new to this world. They are very much a part of the past that was highly popular in classic and colonial designs. The actual twist is rendered by the new and contemporary designs that have replaced the conventional patterns. The new designs do not only serve the island as a lonely kitchen structure but also lend them trendy and functional feel. Majorly designed out of stone, granite and wood, kitchen islands are either used as breakfast tables or for extra kitchen storage. They are also used as magazine holders or wine cellars. A kitchen island can further be embellished with classy spot light or LED lamps that focus on the island counters. For added effect you can even design a contrasting island counter. Flower vases, planters and glassware are the preferred island supporters.

Industrial style

Different people have different choices. While some prefer a proper and lavish displays of items, other treat kitchen just as a functional area or laboratory. This idea is perfectly depicted in an industrial style. Industrial style incorporates metallic structures similar to a workshop or warehouse. It also has lighting that focuses mainly on preparation and serving areas. Suspended spotlights and side lamps make the best counterpart of this design. Industrial style makes use of systematic and geometrical patterns that make a defined layout. It does not incorporate any bright or contrasting colours. Instead, is commonly found in neutral colours and simple designs. Alike a laboratory, this design keeps the utensils and kitchen tools exposed and at an arm’s distance. Nevertheless, the end product is as delicious and wholesome as in other designs.
