The last two years have seen a lot of changes in our lifestyle, which is reflected in the way interior design for homes, especially kitchens, is currently being approached. The hearth is the heart and soul of a home, and the importance of a happy kitchen cannot be stressed enough.
APPLIANCE AIDS
The year 2021 was a lot about incorporating technology into the hearth. That theme is likely to see a push in the new year where the functions of the appliances are upgraded. Devika Khosla, Creative Director, The Works Interiors, says, “Appliances will see a crucial upgrade, especially the refrigerator, which happens to be one of the most significant appliances of the kitchen whose style and utility is of utmost importance. The upcoming refrigerator will be integrated with automation affixed with handle-less glass door panels, shutters and auto-assist features. Through Bluetooth integration, we could sync state-of-the-art cooking ranges like ovens and microwaves to set timers and manage cooking.” Khushboo Shah & Meghna Shah, Partners, The Mark Décor add, “Wirelessly connected modern kitchen appliances will lead the revolution inside the kitchen. With Smartphone controlled features, people are now able to set the mood lighting of the kitchen, control the temperature of a refrigerator, monitor the timing and temperature of the oven, stove tops, and microwave - enjoy a seamless control of all your kitchen appliances.”
