What Will The Post-Pandemic Kitchen Look Like?

 

Many experts are already talking about what will become important in terms of the design of a kitchen after the COVID-19 crisis is over. Apartments with large windows so that the sunlight and wind can circulate freely, buildings with fewer floors and whose elevators and doors can be operated through smartphones and houses with larger rooms and kitchens, are some of the features that can be expected in post coronavirus constructions. Modular wardrobe manufacturers in Pune as well as modular kitchen manufacturers in Pune have already observed these trends. In fact, industry leaders believe that from now on the kitchen will be the most important area of the house. They believe that kitchens have become “the heart of the home” and that it’s now a place that provides calm, stability and makes us feel good because it’s there where spend time with the family.

The pandemic has also changed how families are meeting with potential builders and how kitchen construction is taking place in homes. Here are some kitchen design trends that are becoming popular around the world:

Emphasis on storage

With the current situation, a lot of focus will be put on practical design with maximum storage. Modular pantry units can be openable, pull-out, or even sliding with a lot of shelves to house storage jars and dry goods. This also helps in keeping things organised while taking up a minimal amount of valuable space. Do make sure you take this into consideration when designing a modular kitchen in Pune.

Better internal storage within cabinets

Internal accessories can solve this problem, as it already has in the best kitchen designs in Pune. Cabinet storage is going to become more streamlined and organised with the right kind of accessories, like D-trays, LeMans corner, pull-outs, blind units and so on.

The second fridge

Another major addition to the future kitchen design is definitely going to a second fridge, to make space for extra food.

Kitchen larders

With the current situation, a lot of focus will be put on practical design with maximum storage. Larder units or pantry units can be openable, pull-out, or even sliding with a lot of shelves to house storage jars and dry goods. This also helps in keeping things organised while taking up a minimal amount of valuable space.

Hygiene dynamics

What are other things that will change in our kitchen after the pandemic?

•             Cleaning before and after cooking. If before the coronavirus crisis, the kitchen demanded constant cleaning, going forward the kitchen will be treated almost as an operating room. It’s common to read that among the current recommendations is the disinfection of surfaces before preparing meals and after doing so as well. It’s even suggested to use products with antibacterial properties and special soaps in this room of the home.

•             Choosing cooking utensils. While nothing can seem to replace a wooden spoon to cook, after the pandemic it’s very likely that this utensil will probably be forgotten since wood is a porous material that can easily store microorganisms.

•             The demand for dishwashers will increase. Thanks to its disinfection and drying functions, the dishwasher has started to become the most appreciated appliance in the house. Advantages such as water and energy savings will add to the possibility to prevent utensils, cutlery and dishes from being potentially contaminating.

We must say, be prepared for the new normal and make your kitchen and home a better place to live in. With these trends coming in, we now know what the future kitchen design looks like.
