While specifics vary, every modular kitchen décor comprises a few elements, without which, it won’t be complete. If you’ve been planning for a luxury modern and modular kitchen design, you’ve come to the right place. This blog discusses the five elements that will complete your kitchen and help you derive more value from it.

5 Factors Every Luxury Modern Kitchen Design Should Have

1. Smart Appliances

Smart appliances have become integral to every modular kitchen design. They simplify kitchen operations and expedite the working pace.

Some smart & luxury kitchen appliances include microwaves, ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators, induction cooktops, and washing machines. These are programmed to work via a smartphone application and follow specific commands that the user gives. 

Thus, for example, you wouldn’t have to get up and switch off a particular appliance if you are attending to something important. Besides, you can set timers remotely and run an appliance without going near it. You can do so through a smartphone app remotely, thus saving time and energy.

2. Thoughtful Zoning with Five Zone Design Principles

However, many of you must be wondering what thoughtful zoning means. Zoning essential involves five design principles that help make cooking quicker and more convenient.

3. Lighting and Ventilation

Luxury modular kitchens have a range of lighting options. You can choose what suits your needs best. For instance, while ensuring abundant natural light, you can also introduce different types of artificial lighting options to enhance visibility and notch up the aesthetic appeal of your kitchen space. Some include ambient lighting, accent lighting, task lighting, and under-cabinet lighting. Each of these lighting options plays a distinct role in amping up the kitchen’s visual and functional value.


For example, ambient lighting includes recessed ceiling lights or pendant lights to create a pleasant atmosphere. On the other hand, under-cabinet lighting provides focused light on the countertop, increasing visibility while working, chopping, and cleaning.

Speaking of ventilation, ensuring natural and cross ventilation and setting up advanced exhausts and chimneys help keep the kitchen area fresh and odor-free. Modular kitchen designs incorporate these elements to contribute to a better cooking experience.

4. Pantry Area

In many cases, a messed-up or disorganized kitchen is often attributed to the absence of a well-organized and planned pantry area. Now, why should a modular kitchen have a pantry area? Pantries do not have a single use but many. They are multi-faceted areas that can serve various purposes. Some include providing ample storage for spices, dry goods, and condiments, ensuring optimal food preservation conditions, enhancing accessibility of kitchen items, serving as an appliance storage space, and providing a clear view of available ingredients to facilitate inventory planning.

5. Island

The concept of having an island space in the kitchen is growing by the day. Essentially, an island, as the name suggests, is a standalone counter or workspace placed in the kitchen. It serves multiple purposes. For example, you can use an island as an additional workspace, create built-in drawers and shelves to make it an extra storage unit, use it as a casual dining area to have quick meals and snacks or socialize while cooking, or also leverage it as a mini bar counter during parties or events.
