Help needed for my kitchen

7 years ago

Hi,

This is a pic of my kitchen.... we have gone for exposed terracotta bricks construction with almost no painted walls, and earthy colors rule the roost. Could you suggest how can I better the look of the kitchen. Since this photo was taken, we have moved in. I am looking for great suggestions. Thanks much in advance.

hi sowmya ,
well I think there are a lot of different colors in your kitchen , too many different shades of terracotta tiles to bind them you need to color your cabinets in white or grey to combine all colors together . check the color in my idea book

I usually put water purifiers under the sink cabinet with a small tap up on the counter so I guess that would be wall hung sort of. I like the clean look in our house we have a 3 stage one in the basement with the water line run up to the small tap.

Can you describe your kitchen? Where are the doors? The windows? Does it have built-in cabinets? Where is the sink for washing dishes? Is there one place for cooking and another for baking? Is there a refrigerator? How big is it? Do you want help deciding what colors to use on the walls? What kinds of things do you need in the kitchen? Do you need more storage space? Do you need a larger work table? A container for cooking utensils? A place to store spices?

Hello Shrikant, The layout of the kitchen with depend on the floor plan. If you can share that we can advise on the layout. I am with you on the options available for the final finish. Its really very confusing for a new home owner. The most commonly used for Indian houses are Laminates on ply OR Laminates on MDF. Then of-course there are many other options some of which you have already suggested. Final choice shall depend on your budget and preferences. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.

Thanks folks... I should have mentioned earlier. Terracota bricks are the red colored bricks at the top. The kitchen back splash is tiled with natural variegated stone slabs. I wanted to retain the natural finish of rubberwood cabinetry. Yes, what you say makes sense. Too many colors. I will see how best I can paint them grey/white. Do I need any paintings/accessories to make it more interesting? The walls are bare even now.

Well the main kitchen slab wall you cant put paintings etc as they will become oily or dark due to cooking activity . so idea is you can get colored ( red , orange or blue) kitchen set and display on top of your shelf these can be the ones you use rarely. Also you can store extra oil etc in glass bottles on top this will give you natural color

You need to bring in an bind all the elements together.The orange ceiling and scattered tile pattern as well as the cabinet colour are all random.Pls work on the cabinet colours to bring in elements of orange and the floor has to have some vinyl/faux wooden flooring of a grey shade.

Hi Sowmya, you can add some nice pots with planters over the cabinet and a big painting on the facing wall next to low height window. Also cover the black granite wall tile border with a wood ledge out of rubber wood with spot lights. That should do the trick.

Thanks @Rashmi Gupta, rubberwood ledge with spotlights is a very good design aspect. I will surely consider this .. I really liked one design (Ramakrishnan residence) in the website that you shared. It so much looks like my house. Thanks much.
