Simple Ideas To Enhance Your Indian-Style Kitchen

Indian Kitchen Design Ideas

These Indian kitchen designs look straight from interior design magazines:

Your kitchen aesthetics need to be a reflection of your taste and style                         

Add a Burst of Colours To Your Indian Style Kitchen

Have that empty wall that looks dull? Add a burst of colour and lots of Wood to the space. If done correctly, the colour will enhance the entire look of the kitchen. Add to the look further with a pendant lamp. If space permits, you can place a small rustic wooden chair to add to the vibe. Now, you also have a seating area to cut fruits or veggies or sort your pulses and rice.

Layout Over Everything Else in Your Kitchen

Where to place the sink? Where do the microwave, coffee maker, gas burner, or fridge go? Figure out these first. Don't ever give your kitchen layout the short end of the stick. Once you have allocated space for all the essentials, you will be in a better position to know how much space you're left with and where to place the remaining stuff.

Pick And Choose Individual Pieces To Enhance Your Indian Kitchen Design

 That way, you will have a much broader choice of material, colour, shape, and size of your furniture and surfaces. Spend a couple of days online or go through photos in old magazines, and you can come up with a common theme. You can also mix and match pieces.

Indian Kitchen Design - Keep It Open And Inviting

Do you seek a warehouse aesthetic for your kitchen? If yes, opt for a bare brick wall. Try to keep this wall empty so that the distressed look is on display. If you want, paint the bricks with a bright colour of your choice for a contemporary look, or just leave the classic red bricks as it is. If you cannot keep the wall empty, add just one or two shelves, and wooden floors as primary decoration.

Beautify Your Indian Kitchen Design With Dark Or Grey Walls

If you want to combine old-world charm with contemporary sensibility, opt for a dark or grey modular kitchen with lots of Wood and a neutral colour palette. If you think this would look dull, you're wrong. This kitchen will be all about understated luxury. Add an old, discoloured wooden chair somewhere in the kitchen to add to the vibe and position. It breaks the flow and adds to the grandeur. To enhance the look even more, add a few potted plants here and there.

Go For Farmhouse Chic Kitchen Design Style

If you love the American farmhouse kitchen style, go for it. But make sure the space is cosy, inviting, and functional. Opt for a brick look and a sink that stands out against the brick wall. Because such sinks are deep and wide, they're useful for just about anything, be it washing large pots to small pans. Choose a vintage crockery display unit and antique tile flooring. Add open shelves — an element that will add style and make your kitchen look spacious. They will also allow you to display your favourite pieces of kitchen collectables.

You Can't Go Wrong With Wood 

Do you want to throw a bit of nostalgia into your kitchen and create a vintage look? Go for old, weathered, reclaimed, or distressed wood elements. These will add a lot of rustic charm to your kitchen. Even tiny accessories, such as a wooden cutting board, can be used as kitchen decor. You can hand those cutting boards from a rolling pan rack. A wooden vent hood also adds to the vintage look.

Industrial Style Lighting For A Retro Kitchen Look

Bring in some industrial touch to your kitchen décor by hanging vintage pendant lights from the ceiling. Depending on space, you can hang one or two industrial-style pendants, either in the centre or on two sides of your kitchen. These lights are usually suspended from the ceiling on a fabric cord or caged. 

They often have wrought iron elements and are characterized by an oversized filament bulb. This type of lighting will add a slight roughness to the kitchen. To accentuate that vintage look, hang industrial-style pendant light above the kitchen sink.

Second-Hand Pieces To Ace The Look

Rustic wooden cupboards, a reclaimed worksurface, retro kitchen pantries — if you want to get creative with period pieces, then keep an eye on all the flea markets, second-hand furniture stores, antique shops, and most importantly, garage sales. However, you may have to indulge in a bit of brazen haggling; once you've found that perfect piece — items that match your aesthetic and measurements — you'd need a carpenter to hook it all up.

You Can't Go Wrong With That White Look

Do you dream of having an all-white kitchen? If yes, make it come alive with a little bit of creativity. Add eye-catching wall art. It works like magic to liven up a space. If you have enough space, create a small island in the centre, where you can place your dining table.

Stay Minimal in your Kitchen Design 

If you like a clutter-free kitchen yet functional, opt for a cosy, Scandinavian-style set-up. You can add wooden floor-to-ceiling wall cabinetry, along with in-built shelves. Go for lighter shades to lend the space a serene and relaxed aura. The colours of natural Wood always work well with white. Try this two-tone combination.

Rustic White and Brown Wooden Indian Style Kitchen

White and brown kitchens have been in trend for a long time. If you own a spacious open kitchen, play around with wood in different styles. Choose patterned brown wood for the countertops and flooring and white laminates for the cabinetry. Install appliances like a microwave, chimney and refrigerator in stainless steel to complement this contemporary, rustic theme. Add a glam twist to the setting by incorporating sleek hanging lights in black and small decorative elements over the island and countertop.
