Easy to Achieve Luxury Kitchen Interior Ideas That Are Insta-Worthy
Instagram kitchens are not just inspirational but they are attainable as well. Here are 10 ways to up your kitchen quotient and make them luxurious and fit for Instagram:
1. Light and bright kitchens catch the eye
Light accentuates every design. Even the simplest kitchen interiors can look marvellous if it is well-lit. Open up windows to invite as much natural light as possible. If natural light is scanty, let artificial ones supplement it. Make use of multiple light fixtures, especially task lighting, so the kitchen remains dazzling all the time.
2. White echoes luxury
Cameras love white interiors. It makes a place look as if you are stepping into a piece of heaven. But we, Indians, have not been very receptive to white homes in the past, let alone kitchens. White kitchens with its high-risk of catching dirt and stains were a big no at least till a few years ago.
But modern paints don’t let stains stick around for long, allowing you the freedom to choose the colour of your wish, even whites. To complement the neutral tone, include glossy drawers and cabinets, and add a little drama through metallic accents or eye-catching backsplash or floor tiles. Now, you’re all set to go LIVE!
3. Elevate your kitchen’s look with luxury flooring
The right flooring can make or break the kitchen’s aesthetics. To make a statement, patterned cement tiles or mosaic are great options. Hardwood floors can lend a premium and luxurious appeal. Floors (and even countertops) carved from stones such as marble, granite, limestone, or slate are sure to attract appreciation from your guests.
Think of a flooring style that complements the décor of the kitchen. Either make the flooring the protagonist of the kitchen or use it as the supporting element. Whatever the case, choose a perfect flooring design that you and your camera will fall in love with.
4. Unique backsplash to add a splash of luxury
Invest in a luxurious backsplash and your kitchen’s entire look will change. Earlier only tiles were used for creating backsplashes, but today, there are many unique choices available. Glass and cobblestones are quickly rising the charts of popularity.
Owners of the most viral kitchens are also trying out innovative ideas. For example, fabric laminated with glass or metallic mirrored tiles add glamour to the kitchen. Chevron patterns, black and white tiles, mosaic patterns, Moroccan tiles, etc., are some breathtaking backsplash ideas to choose from.
5. Take your cue from copper
Utilising metals in creative ways can lend a luxurious appeal to your kitchen. Copper is a current favourite among designers and homeowners. A copper backsplash is perfect for a luxurious kitchen while a copper kitchen faucet adds warmth and arresting appeal. You can even bring in copper kitchen sinks to double the impact.
6. Colourful kitchens? Get ready for instant likes!
While white and neutrals are sophisticated choices, bold colour themes are still hot among modern kitchens owners.
Remember, too many colours can spoil the look, so keep things in moderation. Maybe go for a three-colour scheme. It will lend a neat and organised look to your kitchen which will look amazing in photographs.
A two-colour scheme also looks as resplendent as long as you choose the right combinations. Maroon and white, wooden and red, white and green, white and red, white and blue are some classic examples to try for a photographic kitchen.
7. Create your kitchen island
The Western kitchens are incomplete without a kitchen island. In India, kitchen islands weren’t popular until a few years ago, but today Indian kitchens have taken inspiration from their Western counterparts. Indian kitchens can benefit much from kitchen islands as there will be additional space for cooking and to bring the family together for a hot meal. This calls for a classic family photo, right?
8. Plants are effortless luxury
Plants are perfect additions to an appealing kitchen. Add a few succulents or a trailing vine to make your kitchen space camera-ready! Herbs planted in stylish containers go further to create the look your kitchen needs when it faces the world.
Aloe vera and spider plants are also popular kitchen plants. Apart from the design aspect, plants can make the air purer. No wonder, a vertical garden acting as a feature wall is a popular kitchen interior idea.
9. Bring the focus on the fascinating faucet
Why settle for a boring faucet and kitchen sink when you can choose from hundreds of options? While stainless steel leads in popularity, other kinds of finishes including bronze, copper, nickel, or brass are also in demand. Try an industrial design faucet for a dramatic effect or go for copper, brass or golden faucets for that hint of luxury.
10. The open layout lends an unlimited appeal
Indian kitchens are no longer secluded as the trend of open kitchens is catching up, especially in cities where space is a crucial factor. Cooking is not about smoke and sweat anymore. It’s being celebrated as art while having a fun time with family and friends. Open kitchen not only helps families come together, but it also can be stunning with sleek and clean designs.
In the end, true luxury is in the eyes of the beholder. Your kitchen is your pride. Make it come alive with unique elements and ensure it remains in the spotlight with sleek designs, stunning accessories, soothing appeal and drama. Pay attention to the small details and let it shine through your creativity and personality to create a kitchen that your Instagram followers will love!
