Egmore · Modular kitchen
Modular kitchen cost in Egmore
Kitchens in Egmore's older blocks are usually narrow and enclosed, sometimes with the only window facing a light well. Getting a modular kitchen right here means making a compact galley work: enough drawer storage, a chimney that can actually vent outside and cabinets that will not swell where old pipes run behind the wall.

Planning interiors in Egmore
A historic central neighbourhood with heritage buildings, older apartment blocks and a growing number of compact redevelopments near the railway hub.
- Many Egmore kitchens are galley or single-wall layouts, so tall units and corner solutions add more storage than extra counter length would.
- Venting a chimney can be tricky where the kitchen window opens onto a shared light well, and designers check the duct route before finalising cabinet positions.
- With medium moisture risk and older plumbing, BWP plywood under the sink and edge-banded shutters are important for long-lasting cabinets.
- Busy professionals here often prefer easy-clean laminates and fewer handles, since the kitchen needs to be quick to wipe down after weekday cooking.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Measure for a galley layout
In narrow kitchens, keep at least comfortable standing space between counters. The designer can suggest shallower wall units if needed.
- 02
Use the height of the room
Tall pantry units and wall cabinets up to the ceiling give a small kitchen much more storage.
- 03
Confirm the chimney exit
Check that the duct can vent outside, not into a closed shaft, before cabinets are fixed in place.
- 04
Choose a sink cabinet that can take water
Insist on BWP plywood and good edge banding near the sink, especially in older buildings.
- 05
Keep the counter clear
Plan appliance garages or a tall unit for the mixer, microwave and toaster so the small counter stays usable.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
What does a modular kitchen cost in an Egmore 3BHK?
For a 3BHK, it is approximately ₹69K – ₹1.3L in Basic, ₹83K – ₹1.5L in Premium and ₹97K – ₹1.8L in Ultra Premium, pre-GST, depending on size and fittings.
Can a small galley kitchen have enough storage?
Yes, with tall units, corner carousels and drawers instead of shelves. Going up to the ceiling with wall cabinets also helps a lot.
What if my kitchen window opens into a light well?
The designer will check whether a chimney can vent there or needs a different route. In some cases a recirculating chimney is considered.
Which countertop suits a compact kitchen?
Granite and quartz both work well. Lighter colours make a narrow kitchen feel brighter, and the choice should be made before production so cut-outs match.
How long does installation take?
Production typically takes 15–20 working days after design sign-off. On-site installation then takes a few days depending on preparation needed.
