Accidental spills in the kitchen can stain the surface. Further, the oil particles and grease in the fumes start accumulating on various surfaces. If you do not clean them timely, the hygiene of your kitchen will be compromised and its aesthetic appeal will diminish. However, cleaning the kitchen time and again can be difficult and very tiring. Hence, it is always better to plan a kitchen design that is easy to clean. If you are not sure how to design your modular kitchen interiors so that they stay clean, here are a few tips:
01 of 06 The high gloss acrylic laminate sheets are great
Experts suggest installing glossy finishes in the kitchen because wiping them clean is easier than cleaning the matte ones. While cleaning matte finishes, you have to be more careful as there is a higher chance of them getting damaged. On the other, cleaning glossy finishes like acrylic is a piece of cake. Hence, people who prioritise cleanliness should opt for an acrylic kitchen.
02 of 06 Sufficient storage space to keep the countertop clean
In many modular kitchen interiors, you will notice the storage cabinets go all the way up to the ceiling. This is done to ensure that sufficient storage space is available to store all the materials. Often, many items are lying around on the kitchen countertop that make it appear cluttered. If you can store all the items and appliances at their designated places, you can avoid cluttering and ensure that the room appears clean and organised. Hence, one of the best ways to keep your kitchen clean is to ensure that sufficient storage space is available.
03 of 06 Install a storage unit with a shutter for your appliances
There are many kitchen appliances that you use every day like the grinder, toaster, etc. You must not store these items where you cannot access them easily. Keeping them in the high-cabinets or on the loft can make it very difficult to access them. Hence, experts suggest storing the frequently used items in a storage unit with a roller shutter that can help you to access the items whenever you want.
04 of 06 Lighting plays a crucial role in making your kitchen appear clean
While designing your kitchen interiors, you must never ignore the importance of lighting. Besides making your modular kitchen interiors aesthetically appealing and highly functional, adequate lighting helps to keep the kitchen interiors clean as well. You will only be able to get rid of the small black spots and stains once you see them. Without proper lighting in the kitchen, they might not be clearly visible to you. Hence, you might miss out on a few stains while cleaning. If you leave a stain on the surface for too long, it might get permanent.
05 of 06 Avoid grout lines with a backsplash
Although tiles are a great option for a kitchen, the grout line can be problematic as they make the kitchen appear dirty. Hence, it is better to opt for other options during your house renovation so that you do not have to waste an entire day cleaning them. Using seamless backsplashes is a modern designing technique that not only enhances the appeal of your kitchen but also helps to keep it clean. Also, you will find a wide range of options while choosing back-painted glass or stone backsplashes for your kitchen design. Choose a style that easily blends in with the rest of the kitchen design.
06 of 06 Avoid open shelves as much as possible
Many people prefer installing open shelves in the kitchen during house renovation because accessing items becomes much easier. However, it comes with a drawback as well. Compared to closed storage shelves, open shelves get grimier and dirtier. Hence, you have to put in more effort to keep the kitchen clean if you install open shelves as compared to closed storage shelves. To keep your kitchen completely clean, experts suggest opting for only closed shelves if possible. In case you need open shelves, make sure you only opt for the bare minimum.
