Bored of traditional kitchen design? If you’re dreaming of a beautiful and timeless modern kitchen design, why not add an Asian touch to your kitchen? Cosy and warm, oriental design is perfect for families and homeowners that like to gather and celebrate with friends. Creating an Asian-inspired kitchen is also easier than you might think…
You may not associate kitchen design with floral patterns, but that’s what sets the Asian kitchen apart from traditional design. It’s easier than you might think to add florals to your kitchen. Opt for floral curtains or blinds or enhance your kitchen space with beautiful cherry blossom artwork. Fresh flowers, in strong, bold colours, are also a must.
A bold colour palette is crucial in Asian kitchen design. Colours like red, royal blue and zesty orange all work well and can be teamed with a monochrome palette. When incorporating bolder colours like red, we recommend using them as an accent colour. For example, opt for a red backsplash or red worktop doors. You could also accessorise with red pots and pans and bold red crockery.
For that Zen-like atmosphere, natural materials are key. Think stone floors and light wooden furnishings for a look that’s natural and chic. If you’re a fan of the metallic trend, why not incorporate warmer metallics, such as copper, into your kitchen design too?
A family-oriented kitchen is important in many Asian cultures – so it’s important to have a sociable dining space. Kit out your kitchen with a large dining table for family and friends and make use of other sociable dining areas, like a breakfast bar.
Simplicity is essential in any kitchen design and even more so in Asian kitchens. To keep things simple, we recommend using the kitchen work triangle as the foundation of your kitchen design. This will ensure an efficient layout, allowing all primary tasks to be completed with ease. The kitchen work triangle is also very much synonymous with minimalist principles – which are a big thing in Asian cultures.
Comfort is key in oriental design – and that includes the comfort of the cook. To make the task of food preparation easy, ensure task lighting is available under-cupboards. You’ll also want to make dining areas comfortable too by using mood lighting to create the perfect ambience.
Intricate details, like oriental accessories, antiques and pictures, help to enhance an Asian kitchen space. You can also experiment with oriental plants too – like a bonsai or Chinese money tree.

The Kitchen Design Centre Barrowford is a stunning showroom that occupies three shops on the high street - 4, 5, and 6 Gladstone Terrace.
Mr and Mrs Lowcock recently visited the showroom when they were considering a new kitchen for their busy family home. Mr Lowcock has fond memories of visiting his father’s plumbing shop in 4 Gladstone Terrace, which made the visit quite nostalgic!
The couple chose a Hacker Ravenna Pearl Grey kitchen with bespoke Artista Grey Corian worktops. The main focus of the design was to brighten up the space by using better lighting and natural colors. The addition of practical appliances, including a Quooker boiling tap, made it easy for the multi-generational family to use the kitchen.

There are a variety of ways that black can be worked into the kitchen to maintain balance, such as introducing a light marble to create a classic monochrome look. For something more bold and dramatic, black work surfaces and splashbacks will be paired with other black elements, such as stained or painted cabinetry or lighting for a wow-factor and opulent result.
