Best Kitchen Design Ideas for Your Villa

The kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s not only where food is cooked or served, but also where the family gathers for meal preparations and shares stories about their day. In villas that come with open floor designs, the kitchen becomes an extension of the living area and could even be part of spaces used for entertaining friends.

For all these reasons and more, your kitchen needs to be well-designed, open and spacious. It should not only be practical, but attractive too. A well-designed kitchen should have the ideal work triangle – this includes the fridge, sink and cooking range. It should also be functional and provide attractive and easy-to-reach storage spaces along with a decent-sized work area for prepping meals. Here are some design ideas to make your kitchen a show-stopper:

Bring the outdoors into your kitchen

Plan your kitchen in such a way that it has easy connectivity to your patio, garden or outdoor dining area. The best way to heighten visual connectivity with the outdoors is with floor-to-ceiling doors and windows. This is mainly feasible in villas within gated communities where 24×7 security is a given. It also lets in more sunlight into your kitchen’s interiors.

Uncluttered spaces

Design your kitchen with ample storage spaces for all the appliances you use. You could even create an enclosed appliance garage on your countertop for the perfect uncluttered look. A visually-open space attracts positive vibes and appears more inviting to hang out in.

Ease of movement

A well-used kitchen should have enough elbow space for at least two people to work in comfortably. Design your kitchen with more than one work zone.

Greater visual transparency

Create an impression of greater space by opting for lighter colors, more lighting and doing away with upper cabinets that could make a small kitchen look even smaller! This increases sunlight penetration, making the kitchen appear airy.

Different levels of lighting

Kitchens should ideally come with multiple levels of lighting. There should be

• General lighting across the room
• Task lighting in specific areas like your cooking range, prep area and the kitchen sink.
• Ambiance lighting.
