Kitchens are one of the most important places in your home. They are the areas where gastronomic revolutions take place. Choosing the right décor for your kitchen is very important. It is not just another complementary part of your home. In fact, it is the cooking room from where a lot of energy radiates to different spaces of the home. That is why you must be particular about selecting the design of your kitchen. There are a lot of designs that can be considered while furnishing the kitchen. While open style modular kitchen set up dominates most houses today, still there are people who like to keep it conventional. 

Kitchen Design

There are few factors that must be considered while selecting designs for the kitchens. Some of these points are as follows: 

• Oven- The positioning of the then oven is most important. It is the source of fire so safety measures are to be kept in mind. There are different styles of ovens available. There are a variety of ovens available including conventional wood fire ovens. You must select the oven that you like and find most functional one, which also suits the design of your kitchen. 

Kitchen Designs

• Kitchen wall- The wall of the kitchen should be functional without being boring. Normal paints get oily and soot-covered with time. So, preferred option these days are easy to wipe and clean tiles, wallpapers with patterns that bring colour and life to the cooking space. Themed wallpapers with fruits/ vegetables/ cooking vessels or even herbs & spices are some of the common ones to choose from. 

• Paint- The paint should be bright and vibrant. It should take the chef to a happy place, where the professional kitchen has pristine white walls. Splash of bright colours, contrasting walls and funky stencil touches can bring life to the kitchen walls. Oil-based paints or latex paints are best choices in this case as they are easily washable. 

• Kitchen cabinets- Cabinets are an inseparable part of the kitchen. It keeps the kitchens organised and sorted. While modular kitchen comes with built-in cabinets that hold pots and pans to spoons and plates and dish racks, it also has free storage space for grains and spices containers. In a more traditional cookhouse, however, one has to plan the cabinets according to multiple factors such as the layout of the kitchen, the height of the person using the kitchen, the height of the cooking surface, dimensions of the kitchen etc. The cabinet for sharp tools like knives, forks, peelers, graters should be located at such a height that it is convenient enough to access but at the same time safely out of reach from the kids. The cabinets better are covered with linoleum sheets or even ply, to make it easier to clean. 

Kitchen Designs

• Kitchen cooktops- Cooktops are equally important parts of kitchens. They come in a variety of finishes and designs. Granite and epoxy cooktops are most popular ones. You can adjust them according to your unique kitchen style. 

• Kitchen doors and windows- Kitchen doors and windows play the crucial role in air circulation and right control of the kitchen set up. Depending on these features, you should accommodate your entire kitchen design. You may choose a colour for your kitchen doors and windows that work with the walls or works in contrast. You can even control the light entry using curtains to create a more enchanting atmosphere in the kitchen.

 You may choose from a variety of layouts for kitchens including L shaped, U shaped, gallery style, open style etc. Whatever you may choose, add your personal style and touch to it to make it extra special.
