Modular kitchen design trends lean towards sustainability, smart technology integration, minimalist aesthetics and multifunctional spaces, says Rajkumar Kumawat, Founder and Principal Architect, Rajkumar Architects.

“A shift towards warm minimalism, where clean lines are balanced with tactile finishes such as fluted wood, brushed metals and muted stone surfaces, is a noticeable trend,” says Harkaran Singh Boparai, Founder and Principal Architect, Harkaran Boparai Studio. “Also, matte lacquers in deep, earthy tones are replacing gloss finishes, bringing a sense of calm sophistication to the space. There’s also a growing preference for concealed, highly organised storage; modular insert systems from brands like Blum and Häfele are particularly sought after for their seamless integration and refined detailing.”

“We’re seeing a shift in modular kitchen design toward softer minimalism, clean lines paired with warm textures, matte finishes and earthy tones,” says Sharmin Wade, Cofounder & Design Principal, Studio SB. “It’s less about glossy perfection and more about tactile comfort.”
