8 ideas to design the perfect L-shaped modular kitchen

Tip #2 Play with Colour

An L shaped kitchen design goes perfectly well with modular kitchen design ideas and lends itself to a multitude of colour scheme options:

1. One of the most common ideas is using three different colours for your modern L shaped kitchen–for the countertop, cabinets and the wall. Two of these shades can be in contrast. For example, you can use grey for your cabinets and shelves, white for the countertop and a glossy pink for the wall against your stove.

Tip #3 Break The Layout

More often than not, you will end up using a fridge or a full-sized cabinet to mark the end of the L shaped layout in your kitchen. But if you want to utilise these two corners for say, storage or keeping the mess hidden from guests, you can break your L shaped layout into two separate counters.

Keep in mind what you want to do with your space, apart from cooking. Do you wish to entertain guests, use it as a working area, or dine there too? Choose your kitchen layout accordingly; but keep the working triangle in mind.

1. Since L shaped kitchen layouts are designed to reflect light, a simple set of minimalist LEDs would be enough to highlight your working space. You can also use a glowing cut-through light beneath the high cabinets to spotlight your counter.

2. You will often find using your open high cabinetry to showcase china or glassware, which, when highlighted using faint golden light, can give your kitchen a rich, classy vibe.

3. When sprucing up your kitchen’s lighting, don’t forget to consider your kitchen island and your dining area. Adding two or three pendant lights over it will really bring the space together.

Tip #7 Create a Dining Space

If you’re not sure about having an island in your L shape kitchen and think it might disturb your workflow, consider using this countertop as a dining space instead. Consider this idea seriously if you have a large kitchen or an open concept floor.

This way, you can steer your cooking and kitchen chores into the L shaped space and give the island over to your friends and family for entertainment and socialising.

Again, the colour scheme of the dining space in your kitchen should match the countertop and cabinets of your L shape cabinet design and worktop design. The chairs, however, can be in contrast with these shades to make the area stand out.

Tip #8 Use the Corners

When you’re living in a condo or a studio apartment, every inch counts. Use the corners above your modular kitchen design L shape to install open shelves for your oils and spices, or mugs and plates.

You can also fix a rail below the bottom shelf to hold the spoons, knives and ladles. This will work especially well when installed next to your sink or the stove.
