What is Modular Kitchen ?
Modular kitchen is term used for kitchens which consists of factory-made cabinet modules made of diversified materials to facilitate the effective usage of the spaces in the kitchen. It is an ideal solution for proper space utilisation with an elegant and chic look.
L-shaped Modular Kitchen
This type of kitchen has its counters spread over two adjacent walls aligned at the right angle, forming the shape of the alphabet “L”. This is the most common way of planning and it is suitable for almost any kitchen, big or small and can be placed even in corners. An added benefit of this kitchen is it has the most efficient working triangle that allows the cook to move easily between the sink, hob and refrigerator. With proper utilization of available space, its triangular layout can create ample space for storage even in the smallest of work areas
U-Shaped Modular Kitchen
In the U-shaped kitchen, the counter runs along the three walls of the room, taking the shape of the letter “U”. This type of layout is perfect for homes that can have a large area designated for its kitchen. Since it completely uses the three walls of the kitchen, this layout can offer an excellent field of activity to its cooks. With this kitchen, one can take various liberties like using one complete wall for cabinets, one wall for a large window and the other wall for appliances and sink, etc. And this kitchen works great for joint families with multiple cooks
Straight Modular Kitchen

This is the most compact and simplest of all kitchen layouts and hence works well for small-sized kitchens and also for studio apartments with open floor plans where one part of the room has a living area and the other is designated for cooking. Choosing a long wall can make the kitchen look more elegant and also allow scope for easy alterations and extensions.
