Build your dream modular kitchen with a home loan from IDFC FIRST Bank 

What is the main reason why modular kitchens are so popular? Simple – they are trendy, durable, functional, and allow efficient space management. In a modular kitchen, various parts of the kitchen are integrated into a single system while keeping design and installation quality in mind. If you are planning a kitchen renovation, there are numerous modular kitchen ideas to choose from. And if you are short of money, you can avail of a top-up on an IDFC FIRST Bank home loan to finance everything you want in your kitchen. 

Let's get you started with some ideas: 

1. Decide the kitchen layout
 

If you have decided on a kitchen renovation and have a bare space, finalise the layout first. A three-walled U-shape is ideal for a spacious kitchen, and you can even throw in an island in the middle as a counter or breakfast table. A G-shape, a variation of the U-shape, brings extra counter and cabinet space to the kitchen. In a smaller kitchen, an L-shaped counter against the wall can help to free up space. 

2. Choose high-quality materials
 

Don't go for quantity over quality. Good quality materials last longer and need less maintenance. The wood and ply used should be termite-proof and water-resistant, with good screw-holding capability. The exteriors should be fingerprint-proof, anti-corrosion, and easy to clean. Similarly, don't compromise on the quality of adhesives, hydraulic sets, hinges, and other small parts when you go for a kitchen remodel.

3. Allot space for appliances
 

One overlooked kitchen renovation tip is setting the appliance placement early. Fridge, chimney, dishwasher, kitchen sink, oven, mixer grinder, coffee machine, rice cooker - one can go on. The point is that your kitchen should have a place for everything, with everything in its place. So, you should plan appliance positioning before the kitchen renovation.

4. Opt for intelligent lighting
 

From countertop lighting that complements your style to well-placed under-cabinet LEDs - accent lighting arrangements complete the look, brightening up any dark spots. Of course, nothing beats natural light when you are doing your daily chores! 

5. Don't ignore kitchen accessories

Your kitchen makeover ideas could come to nothing if you don't carefully consider the selection of accessories. Spice racks, utensil organisers, handles, knobs, etc., should be carefully selected to blend in with the décor after your kitchen renovation.

6. Pay heed to the overall aesthetics

By the time the carpentry and masonry of the kitchen are done, decide on the colour schemes, choice of tiles/wallpapers, and overall aesthetics. You could browse the internet for kitchen renovation ideas that catch your imagination.
