Cause a stir in your cookroom – we present our top trends to give your kitchen the contemporary makeover you’ve been longing for. Choose multiple materials and textures as accompaniments to whip up a sizzling setting, let exposed shelving units be your excuse to show off attractive serveware and extend your green thumb beyond your vegetables by tending to your organic indoor garden.
1. Go Green
Cabinets and counters come alive when healthy greens fill the spaces between them. For a fresh dose of flavour at hand, cultivate a bountiful herb garden right in your kitchen. Not only will it come handy as you cook your favorite recipes, but it will also energise your space with its air purifying qualities. You could also extend the trend to your cookware, serveware and kitchen in verdant hues and wood finishes.
2. Open House
Create a breathable sanctuary in your cookroom and free yourself from the strain of locked cabinets. Pick counters in diverse shapes and colours to put pots, pans and cutlery on proud display.
3. Mixed Matter
Isn’t many always better than one? Explore surfaces with different finishes in your eclectic cookroom to stand out from the crowd. Elevate your kitchen with a melting pot of materials to lend it a contemporary flair. For instance, juxtapose edgy metals with earthy timbers. We also recommend opting for appliances in diverse finishes to inject extra gleam.

The humble backsplash, which protects the wall from accidental splashes and splatterings of oil, water and food, is essential to a modern Indian kitchen, where curries and khao suey are prepared with equal ease. But no longer does a backsplash have to be a monotonous addition to your gallery. Today backsplashes come in many avatars, each with its pros and cons. What’s important is that it should not only complement the fixtures of the kitchen, but it also should be functional, and most importantly, easy to clean.
Here are six ideas to inspire you to decorate as well as protect your kitchen walls:
1. Banish the banal: You can opt for a wide variety of materials, such as delicate ceramic mosaic, colourful tiles, glass, granite, quartz, brick and stainless steel, etc. With the hearth the focal point of a home, you can make any material work. Be it a hardwood backsplash made from reclaimed wood in your open kitchen, a funky custom-made backsplash that acts like a photo wall, or even quaint, pounded tin tiles, you can add depth and texture to your kitchen with carefully chosen backsplashes.
2. “Steel” the wall: There are several options that you can pick, depending on your budget and requirements. One of the easiest to use is stainless steel that is long lasting and affordable, but is prone to scratches and loses its lustre over time.
3. Say it with tiles: Another favourite are tiles — think lovely patterns and motifs on ceramic and porcelain tiles to display art on walls. Not only are these easy to maintain, but these add beauty to your scullery.
4. Set it in stone: Why not try something different and use flooring as your experimental canvas? Try experimenting with stones, which are all the rage now. While granite and marble are costly and hard to maintain, they have for long protected many homes and are a good option for backsplash. But now, engineered stone is becoming popular, thanks to its durability and resistance to heat and stains.
5. Slather on solutions: Composites and laminates are cost effective solutions for a backsplash. But if you prefer shabby chic, why not slather some plaster and polish your wall? The nicks and stains will add character to the kitchen and your home.
6. From the market: Some of the best picks in the market today include Häfele’s Caesarstone. This stylish range is made from engineered stone, comprising 93 per cent pure quartz, with splashes of colourful pigments to the mix. The result is a stunning decorative and textured stone perfect for a backsplash, given that quartz is extremely scratch resistant, heat resistant, anti-bacterial and absorption free. For those seeking inbuilt kitchen solutions, H&R Johnson (India) has partnered with Germany’s Germany’s Nobilia, and has introduced new handle-less kitchens in the country. Christened the ‘LINE N’ kitchens, these come fitted with a backsplash, thus simplifying your work to select a separate backsplash.

Dare to step away from modular mode and revisit a kitchen with a small dining area that’s high on modesty and charm. Architect Pradeep Sachdeva’s home in Gurgaon is where you should look for ideas.Do away with grills and dividers to make a large window that will flood the room with energising natural light. Like Pradeep, take inspiration from Rajasthan and outline the window frames with a delightfully bright colour. Open up the space further with an easy yet ingenious design change. For the door, retain the main frame and replace portions with glass. It’s guaranteed to make a small space look large and a large space look expansive. Kota stone, whitewashed walls and natural wood should be enough for you to achieve this look. Should space permit, place a small dining table for four inside the cookroom to make an open plan kitchen to enjoy interactive meals.
