Most importantly, when planning the overall layout of your kitchen, it should be planned such that you can smoothly move about without any obstruction. This is very important, just as important as storage. 

So without further adieu, here are ten smart ideas for your kitchen that every interior decorator knows.

1. The Stow Away Kitchen

Now it’s fixed! Storage is where people who cook like to stow all their culinary possibilities. Of course, if you like to experiment with the culinary arts, then you’re going to need a wide amount of space to stock groceries.

Voila! This kitchen is now a much more welcoming space. Here’s another really common type of kitchen that did the trick. With a large sink and platform that adjoins it, this kitchen lets you easily clean vegetables, and gives you more room while doing the dishes. 

For this kitchen, you can use the space under your sink to store kitchen supplies. You can also create a modular sink unit, so that you can easily store organic or wet waste if you recycle. 

If the kitchen platform is not wide enough, you can put brackets on your wall to keep your microwave or toaster. 

Once again, kitchens like these have the bonus of being more spacious with ground level storage for you to keep larger, heavier kitchenware with grains or rice.

3. Studio Modular Kitchen

This kitchen is small and without much oomph. Such a studio kitchen would have a lot of use in a small RK apartment or 1 BHK home that is short of space.

Kitchens that are modular should have adequate lighting incorporated into design, so there are no shadowed corners on the platform or cooking area.

4. Semi-Modular Kitchens

This kitchen looks antique now, but soon it can be a delightful and modern kitchen. There’s nothing wrong with the space itself, there’s adequate room and also extra storage, but the utilities are in an upheaval and need replacement.
