Innovative lighting, smart floor plans, stylish cabinets and modern appliances - bookmark these ideas for your kitchen remodelling plan
In a modular kitchen, the number and types of cabinets, the layout and the appliances – everything is planned to ensure the user’s comfort and convenience. However, this doesn’t mean that all such kitchens must look alike and lack a style bite. We bring you 10 modular kitchens that are not only gorgeous, efficient spaces but also have personalities of their own.
2. Glammed up
The marble breakfast table and the cluster of geometric pendant lights glam up the neutral-toned kitchen by Fulcrum Studio. The sleek and sophisticated style is kept intact by choosing marble of a rich, darker shade of the surrounding colour scheme, and not a contrasting colour, for the island. This also gives this modular kitchen a serene look. The dim lights add a cosy effect.

3. Old meets new
The wooden cabinets with traditional-style handles, the hexagonal patterns on the tiles – this modular kitchen by H.A. Kantikar & Co. has an old-world charm. Even the windows have wooden railings that were once popular in older houses. The blue tiles of the backsplash offset the brown, giving this space a vibrant look.

4. A different route
This U-shaped kitchen layout by Dovetail Design and Build is a bit different from most modular kitchens. The stove is placed in the middle, with floor cabinets on the two sides. The walls have been kept free of cabinets, making for a spacious volume at eye level. A large rectangular window in one wall accesses more open space, opening out a small area.

The stove island has an open shelf and drawers that provide storage space. The cutaway shelving ensures the kitchen island doesn’t look heavy the way most tend to do.
5. Industrial chic
Classic cabinets placed in a room with rugged bare brick walls and an exposed ceiling – this modular kitchen shows how to ace the industrial chic style. The ink-blue colour and the matte finish of the wall cabinets fit well with the overall space and help in holding back the white from creating a stark contrast. The rows of focus lights on the ceiling make up for the lack of natural light.

6. Sleek and futuristic
This futuristic kitchen by KNS Architects Pvt. Ltd. introduces breathing space in its all-white layout by inserting elements of various shapes and different materials. The use of a transparent table and chairs defines the dining area, though one end of the table is attached to the Z-shaped kitchen island. The variety of shapes – the rectangular cabinets, the conical chairs, the globe pendants – teamed with the 3D pattern on the backsplash and the pop of bright orange at certain places, build layered dimensions into the layout.

The floating cabinets attached to the walls and the metal legs of the island are great space savers, reducing the sense of weight in the kitchen, giving a sense, instead, of gravity-defying elements suspended in a cool space.
7. White power
This kitchen is a vision in white. The sleek cabinets, with slim chrome handles, run along two sides of the room while the stove island takes centrestage. The huge windows in the back wall are covered by translucent glass to keep the natural light in check and ambient lights line the false ceiling to give a warm glow to the space. This balance of lighting makes sure the kitchen is lit up just right.

8. With the flow
This well-put-together kitchen-cum-dining space by Savio & Rupa Interior Concepts utilises every corner of this L-shaped area. I like how, instead of keeping the stove in the corner, it’s placed at the spot where the kitchen opens to the dining area, thus providing enough space for cooking. The wine rack is strategically placed to hide the corner prep area.

The brown-and-white colour combination used in the cabinets continues to the dining table making the two setups look like one unit.
The kitchen opens out to a patio-like sitting space, separated by a sliding glass door, which can be used for breakfast or tea.
9. Smooth transition
In this open floor plan home, the living space seamlessly flows to the beautiful modular kitchen.

A raised platform in printed tiles subtly demarcates the kitchen space while the living room flooring covers the other half. The floating breakfast table attached to the island starts above the edge of the kitchen floor and runs above the dining area’s floor, a connecting bridge between the two areas. The brown floor-to-ceiling wooden unit with both open and closed racks plays off against the grey-and-white modular cabinets on the opposite side, creating visual drama in the area’s décor. The whole area is nicely illuminated as recessed lights are installed in abundance – even under the breakfast table.
10. Struck by lighting
The unusual ceiling and lighting are the highlights of this modular kitchen by SK Designs. The lights lining the coved ceiling cast warm ambient light upwards while casting bright light in the area below. The light bounces off the glossy finish of the cabinets and brightens up the kitchen, which lacks natural light. The play of contrasts between bright orange, stark white and subtle grey adds to the charm of the space.

This well-planned kitchen packs a punch in a small area. The cabinetry covers the largest wall while a two-seater breakfast nook doubles as an island. The glass-topped dining table preserves the sense of open space and the area does not end up looking crammed. Even the colour scheme is kept neutral with more white to make it look spacious.
The use of recessed lights gives the ceiling a clean look and thus enhances the expansive feel of the space. See how a pendant light above the table subtly demarcates the dining area?
