Designing an Aesthetic kitchen

Posted  by Kanika • 4 MinuteRead

Our maximum time is spent in our Kitchen, so it must be designed in such a way which not only look aesthetically 
good but also accomplishes all the necessary requirements. For preparing delicious food we need an 
environment which keeps us happy and joyful. This requires completely furnished and fully equipped kitchen.             

In my today's blog, I will try to share my views regarding  furnishing of complete and full-fledged kitchen. Firstly, while designing a kitchen as we know that it's a wet area so tiles should be installed at all the walls of kitchen upto the height of 7 feet. Behind the carcass, that is between the ground level and upto the height of3 feet, and between 5 feet and 7 feet, there is a use of commercial tiles as these tiles are not visible and are used at the back of carcass ( wooden box ) to avoid the dampness and termite issues. Before installing the tiles, plumbing and electrical work should be done. 

Now, after placing the tiles our next job is wooden work. This involves making of carcass and shutters. The material which we can use for making the carcass can be HDHMR Board or moisture proof ply board. Both are durable and moisture proof products. The material which we can use for making the shutters can be either MDF or plyboard depending upon the upper finish to be used. There are many options for the upper finish like PU Polish, louvers, laminate, acrylic, lacquered glass, glass etc. Fluted glass or black or plane glass shutters can also be used. In case of PU polish, solid wood or MDF board are used. In case of Glass shutters, wooden frames or aluminium profile are used. If we want a luxury kitchen then glass shutters with aluminium profile gives a very sleek and clean look. 

Lighting also play a very important role while designing a luxurious kitchen. When we design Glass shutters, then led strip lights should be used behind the glass slabs inside the wooden box. If we want glass look kitchen then the electrical points should be given accordingly in advance for the led light arrangements. LED Lights inside an aluminium profile case are also used below the upper cabinet area and below the counter top.   This will give a very aesthetic look to your kitchen.

Now the most important part of the kitchen is Hardware. It is very necessary to use superior and high quality hardwares in kitchen. Hafele and hettich hardwares are of ethical standards so it can be used. Innotech drawers are good options for cutlery and pot n pan drawers. There should be proper use and utilisation of corners. There are many options in hardwares for using the corner like Magic corner, carousel, Universal corner, S- corner etc. Anyone can be used depending upon the corner space. The other hardwares used in the kitchen are Tall units (pantry), Bottle pullout, Grain trolley, Autolid bin, Wicker baskets, Hinges, handles, aluminium profiles, Dishrack , Rolling shutters, etc. 

There are certain things which are very necessary while installing a kitchen i.e. HDHMR board finished with aluminium sheet should be used near the sink area. Another important thing is while pasting a laminate, Fevicol SH should be used. For countertop and dado area the same material should be used. It will give a very elegant and stunning look to your kitchen. The material for the countertop should be either light or dark coloured quartz or dark coloured granite.

For luxurious kitchen, we can give cabinets for microwave and OTG , Open cabinets with concealed lights. This will enhance your kitchen look and make it more appealing and useful. 

At last, a space can be designed in many ways but the way we design should accomplish all the purpose of its usage.
