Nanganallur · Modular kitchen
Modular kitchen cost in Nanganallur
Many Nanganallur kitchens still have the original cement shelves and granite platform from when the house or building was built, and families often cook traditional meals from scratch every day. A modular kitchen budget here usually covers converting that old layout into practical drawers while keeping space for a wet grinder, brass vessels and sometimes a small pooja shelf.

Planning interiors in Nanganallur
A traditional, temple-rich residential neighbourhood near the airport, with independent houses and family-run apartment buildings.
- Older Nanganallur kitchens commonly have a fixed granite platform and cement shelves underneath, which can sometimes be retained with new modular shutters.
- Traditional cooking with heavy brass and steel vessels needs stronger drawer channels and deeper base storage than lighter modern cookware.
- Some families prefer a small pooja shelf or lamp niche in the kitchen, which should be planned away from the hob and sink.
- With moderate humidity, BWP plywood is recommended near the sink, while other cabinets can use good-quality moisture-resistant boards.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Decide to keep or replace the platform
Ask the designer to assess your existing granite platform, since keeping a sound slab can save significantly.
- 02
Plan storage for heavy vessels
Use deep drawers with strong channels for brass and steel vessels rather than fixed shelves.
- 03
Give the grinder a home
Plan a sturdy base, a dedicated socket and an easy-clean zone for the wet grinder.
- 04
Keep the pooja shelf safe
Place any kitchen pooja shelf away from the hob and moisture, with a heat-safe surface for lamps.
- 05
Fix the chimney position early
Decide where the chimney and duct will go before cabinets are made, especially in older kitchens with limited outer walls.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can I keep my cement shelves and just add shutters?
Sometimes. If the shelves are level and dry, shutters can be fitted to them. Many families still prefer full modular units for better drawers and easier cleaning.
What is included in the ₹50K – ₹93K Basic range?
Base and wall cabinets for a typical 2BHK kitchen with laminate shutters and standard hardware. Accessories, tall units and appliances are priced separately.
Is a kitchen pooja shelf a good idea?
It can be, if placed away from heat and water. Your designer will suggest a safe spot with a heat-resistant surface and enough space for lamps.
How do I store large vessels used for festivals?
A tall unit, high wall cabinet or loft is ideal for vessels used only during festivals, keeping everyday drawers free.
How long does the kitchen take?
Production typically takes 15–20 working days after design approval. Installation follows once the countertop and site are ready.
