Design Ideas for a Low-Maintenance Modular Kitchen

Are you planning a new modular kitchen for your home? If yes, then you need to choose from an assortment of designs, patterns, and finishes.  There are a lot of dealers offering the best quality modular kitchens in Kochi. While some of the homeowners prefer style over utility, others pay attention to functionality. Modular kitchens in Ernakulam or any other locality are a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality. No matter the layout you choose, the main objective is to create a clean and tidy cooking space. Cleaning up the cooking area and making it look spotless is always a strenuous chore. Even though some enjoy cooking, they hate cleaning up the mess after it. That is why many of us wish for a kitchen that can be maintained with ease. This blog post discusses a few tips that will help you design a kitchen space that can be cleaned and maintained easily. 

Countertops: If you don’t want like scrubbing the dirty grout every often, then it is best to avoid picking the traditional 4-inch by 4-inch ceramic tile for countertops.  Grubby grout also tends to harbor mold and mildew thereby compromising on the health and safety of the family. Hence, go for stainless steel, quartz, Corian or laminates for your kitchen countertops as you don’t have to scrub or seal these surfaces. Granite is also a popular choice among the homeowners due to its ease of maintenance. If you can’t afford the laminates or stainless steel for your modular kitchen, then opt for porcelain tiles of larger size. 

Backsplashes: Installing backsplashes is the best way to enhance the overall appeal and style of your kitchen. However, there are different choices of backsplash materials available in the market which makes it trickier to make a pick. Protecting the kitchen walls from splashes and pills, backsplashes play a key role in maintaining the cleanliness of the kitchen. Back-painted glasses, quartz or stone slabs can be best material choices to consider as they are easy to clean. If you are looking for a cheaper option, then laminate is the best bet. 

Flooring: Your kitchen is the busiest area in your home and it is prone to spills and higher foot traffic. Hence, you need a flooring material that can stand the test of time and are easy to clean. Materials like Marmoleum, linoleum, hardwood or sheet vinyl can be cleaned with damp mopping. If you find it tough to afford these materials, then opt for large-format glazed tiles. 

Cabinets: When choosing a modular kitchen layout, you would be overwhelmed with the choices of cabinet styles available. It is always best to choose a simple cabinet style as it would be easier to clean and maintain. Even though decorative cabinetry is pleasing to eyes, it might be a strenuous task to clean around the nooks and crannies. 

We really hope some of these tips would prove beneficial to you while building or renovating the modular kitchen.
