In most homes these days, the modular kitchen has almost completely replaced the traditional kitchen. People who are new buyers automatically opt for it, and those who choose to remodel their homes also seem to prefer it over older versions. This is because modular kitchen designs incorporate various elements such as aesthetic appeal, current trends, and efficiency. With real estate prices skyrocketing, optimal space utilization is one of the biggest factors influencing clients to favor one layout over the other. In addition, a modular kitchen is also designed to increase the pace of kitchen tasks. Here are some of the most popular ways to ensure maximum space utilization in your modular kitchen:

• Use of vertical spaces: A modular kitchen embodies the concept of making use of all the vertical space in the room in addition to the usual horizontal space. This includes places like walls and even ceilings.
• Overhead Wall Racks – Many designs include a sturdy wall rack mounted at a height to hang your pots and pans. This frees up a lot of storage space below, which in turn can be used for other items.
• Circular tables: Remember the little kitchen table you used to sit at while your mom made hot rotis? Well, the kitchen table is now often circular in shape so that it can be better utilized by eliminating wasted space in the corners.
• Folding chairs – If your family likes to use the kitchen for a quick chat, consider folding chairs. By storing them away when not in use, your modular kitchen can remain uncluttered and spacious.
• Optimum Number of Cabinets – Keep the number of appliances, utensils, and accessories at an optimal level to determine the correct number of kitchen drawers and cabinets you need to build and install. Efficient furniture is really the differentiating element in a large modular kitchen.
• High Shelves: Keeping a stock for upper shelves and shelves for infrequently used items is a good way to utilize the rest of the space.
• Sink Location: The sink has a place of great importance in any kitchen. It is the area that safeguards the maintenance of hygiene and sanitation while washing your vegetables and meats. Since many apartments do not have a separate area for washing utensils, the sink often serves this purpose as well. Corner sinks work great, because they make efficient use of space that would otherwise go to waste.
• Sliding doors – Traditional swing doors take up space when opened inside the kitchen. Opting for a sliding door or partition can be not only a smart space saver, but also a very elegant and visually pleasing look.
• Ridge Over Stove: A multi-slot or ridge provision adjacent to the top of your gas stove is a great way to save required storage space for small items like spice bottles. It also looks neat and even adds color!
