Gone are the days when our mothers used to slave away over a boiling pot in a small, dark and airless kitchen. Apartment living has brought many changes to the way our homes have been designed. These designs are intended to make our living spaces more comfortable and easier to live in. And kitchens have undergone a radical change. Even the smallest kitchen is designed to make the most of space intelligently. These kitchens are often called modular kitchens, as many of the kitchen accessories can be purchased as modules and assembled and fitted in the kitchen. Many builders today offer a modular kitchen as a standard inclusion in the apartment.
Modular kitchens are a godsend for the working mom, as well as a bachelor pad. They are useful for keeping things organized. Most electrical appliances, such as microwaves and ovens, are installed on the wall itself. The cooking area has built in burners and there is adequate space for blenders and mixers. The work area is close to the cooking area and the sink is well tucked away in a corner.
Distribution is the most important aspect when designing a kitchen. This will need to be decided based on the size and shape of the kitchen and the location of the water points and electrical outlets. Kitchen design determines how you cook, eat, and socialize in the kitchen. These kitchens can be single-walled kitchens, with cabinets attached to the wall at the top. The cooking and work area is at waist height and can have room for the stove, blenders and sink. The refrigerator will have to go the other way completely. Or kitchens can be L-shaped, varying the length of the arms of the L. It can also be U-shaped with curved or cornered edges.
Other types of kitchens are the galley kitchen and the G-shaped kitchen.
The one-wall kitchen is suitable for small houses. Keeps all appliances, cookware, and ingredients within easy reach. They can all be hidden behind pull-out cabinets and doors, giving the kitchen a clutter-free look. With the other designs, there will be space for much more things inside the kitchen. Complete modular kitchens can be purchased at the store and set up in one day. These kitchens can make cooking easy and fun.
