Must-Know Modular Kitchen Designs & Accessories to Keep Your Kitchen Organised
Core Features: What makes it an invisible modular kitchen design
1. Camouflaged appliances to hide the clutter behind and create a smooth look
The first aspect of the invisible kitchen is camouflage, which allows you to “make your appliances disappear.” In this technique, appliances are concealed behind seamless storage areas, or the appliances themselves come panel-ready to blend with the kitchen’s colors and ambience.
2. Hands-free cabinets to clear unwanted vision blockage
The only visible thing in the kitchen must be the surfaces! No handles, no bars! Thus, the push-to-open technique is used to avoid the ‘hindered view’ of the handles in the kitchen. The handleless cabinets create a much smoother look to make a perfectly invisible modular kitchen design. Yess! That’s called detailing.
3. Retractable/Sliding elements to hide what can’t be blended naturally
Remember what your mother used to say—“Keep it covered when not in use”! Probably (I am guessing only), the design ideas come from the same concept. Use of retractables and sliding elements such as countertops, sinks, pantry units and even complete kitchens.
4. Multifunctional surfaces in modular kitchen design hide the spaces when not in use
Instead of making the surfaces fixed, make them multifunctional and convertible. These surfaces must speak of their functionality. For example, the extended peninsula in the kitchen must be convertible as a table or push to open panels that can organize your pantry and also upscale you with an invisible kitchen interior design.
5. Neutral color palette is one of the most common features for modular kitchens
It is a psychologically proven fact that colors do impact our psychology. Soft colors make our eyes wide and hence give an illusion of a bigger space, while on the other hand, bold color use causes eye contraction, creating an illusion of small spaces. So always choose soft, plush colors to make an eye-soothing effect on the kitchen interior design.
6. Flush-mounted cooktops & sinks for an unclutter modular kitchen design
They are the most common element of any modular kitchen design where undersink areas are converted into a built-in waste recycle unit. This is one of the most successful things to keep your kitchen clean, uncluttered and hygienic.
7. Built-in waste & recycling under kitchen sink design
Remember what your mother used to say—“Keep it covered when not in use”! Probably (I am guessing only), the design ideas come from the same concept. Use of retractables and sliding elements such as countertops, sinks, pantry units and even complete kitchens.
8. Pocket doors & sliding panels that can hide all your modular kitchen inside
What if we could hide the doors and sliders too? Yes, this is possible too. By making pocket doors, the cabinets or the entire kitchen units can be kept hidden behind a full-height pocket door or sliding door that is kept closed as a cabin to give a seamless look when not in use.
Popular finishes for invisible kitchen interior design
Countertops – if not making a convertible countertop, use clever porcelain technology to infuse cooking hobs inside the countertop. Used widely in homes in the US and the UK, this material is safe, hygienic, and sturdy enough that it doesn’t heat too much, causing any hazard.
Cabinets & Display Units – For an invisible modular kitchen design, use elements that can easily blend with the surroundings. High-quality MDF, plywood, laminates and toughened back-painted glass in neutral colors create a soft look for the eyes.
Back Splashes – Backsplashes must be of nude colors; choose tiles, 3D heat-resistant wall papers, or marble for creating a clean and neat look in your interiors.
The Last Say
Innovations, like invisible kitchen interior design, bring the art of making smooth and seamless transitions in the home, making the home visually bigger than usual. Looking at the needs of upcoming modern houses in the urban areas, they effortlessly blend each section into one big unit. In the modern definition of interior designing, luxury lies inside the quality of the interiors rather than stuffing of homes with lots of vintage and fancy stuff. Your house can be minimal and luxurious too, because you choose quality!
