Modular Kitchen Designers in Alwarpet
In many Alwarpet homes, the kitchen people see and the kitchen where cooking actually happens are two different rooms. Elixir's modular kitchen designers plan each for its role, with refined acrylic or lacquer shutters where guests can see them and robust laminate and BWP plywood where tadka, grinding and heavy vessels take over.

Our approach
How we handle modular kitchen projects
What we plan for
- Work triangle between hob, sink and fridge
- Appliance sizes and electrical points
- Tall unit and pantry pull-out planning
- Chimney, exhaust and ventilation
What drives the cost
- Running length of base and wall cabinets
- Shutter finish (laminate, acrylic, PU)
- Hardware such as tandem drawers, corner units and lift-ups
- Countertop and backsplash scope
Materials we recommend
- BWP plywood carcasses for wet zones near the sink
- Edge-banded shutters to resist Chennai humidity
- Soft-close hinges and channels from branded hardware makers
- Quartz or granite chosen before production so cut-outs line up
Mistakes to avoid
- Finalising cabinets before appliance models are chosen
- Too few drawers and too many hinged shutters
- Ignoring exhaust and chimney ducting
- Leaving the countertop decision until installation

Planning interiors in Alwarpet
A quiet, upscale enclave of luxury apartments and large independent homes along TTK Road and the Cathedral Road corridor.
- Open and semi-open kitchens facing the dining area are common in larger Alwarpet flats. Visible runs here often use acrylic or lacquer, which is one reason Ultra Premium is the most chosen tier.
- The wet kitchen or service area carries the daily cooking load. Laminate shutters on BWP plywood carcasses handle steam, oil and water better there than delicate finishes.
- Built-in ovens, microwaves, dishwashers and full-height fridges are frequent requests. Tall appliance towers and dedicated electrical points take up a large share of the kitchen budget.
- Kitchens in these homes are often large enough for an island or breakfast counter, which needs plumbing, power and clearance planned at the layout stage.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Choose built-in appliances before drawings
Built-in ovens and dishwashers need exact cut-out sizes. Finalise models so the tall units are drawn around them, not adjusted later.
- 02
Give the wet kitchen its own brief
List what happens in the service kitchen, such as grinding, deep frying or bulk cooking, so storage and ventilation there are planned properly.
- 03
Plan the island with services
If you want a hob or sink on the island, confirm plumbing and exhaust routes early. A prep-only island is simpler and cheaper.
- 04
Favour drawers in the work kitchen
Wide tandem drawers make heavy vessels easier to lift than deep hinged cabinets. Use hinged shutters for lighter items.
- 05
Fix stone before production
Select quartz or granite for both kitchens before cabinets go to the factory, so cut-outs and overhangs match exactly.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Should the show kitchen and wet kitchen use the same finish?
Not necessarily. Many Alwarpet owners use acrylic or lacquer in the visible kitchen and laminate in the wet kitchen. Matching the colour keeps them visually connected while saving cost.
How much does a kitchen cost in an Alwarpet 3BHK?
For a typical 3BHK, the modular kitchen is estimated at ₹69K – ₹1.3L in Basic, ₹83K – ₹1.5L in Premium and ₹97K – ₹1.8L in Ultra Premium, pre-GST.
What clearance does a kitchen island need?
The designer checks walkways around the island so drawers and the fridge can open comfortably. If clearance is tight, a breakfast counter along a wall may work better.
Which hardware is used in your kitchens?
We use branded hardware such as Hettich for hinges, channels, corner units and lift-ups. Load ratings are chosen for how heavy and frequently used each drawer will be.
How long does production take?
Factory production typically takes 15–20 working days after the design is approved. Installation follows once any plumbing or electrical changes on site are complete.
