Modular Kitchen Designers in Chetpet
Kitchen design in Chetpet often covers two rooms: a polished show kitchen that is part of the home's look and a wet kitchen or utility for heavy cooking. The designer's job is to plan both together, so finishes match, appliances sit in the right room and the main kitchen stays clean.

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 Chetpet
A green, low-density central neighbourhood around the Chetpet lake, with spacious older homes and boutique premium apartments.
- Many Chetpet kitchens are large enough for L-shaped, U-shaped or even island layouts, which changes how the work triangle is planned.
- Wet kitchens and utilities are common here, and each needs its own storage, sink and appliance points.
- PU and acrylic shutters are popular for their smooth, polished finish, which suits the neighbourhood's understated taste.
- Low moisture risk helps premium finishes last, while BWP plywood is still used for sink cabinets and the wet kitchen.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Plan the show and wet kitchen together
Design both spaces at once so storage, finishes and appliance locations make sense as one system rather than two separate jobs.
- 02
Choose appliances before cabinets
Fix the hob, chimney, fridge, oven and dishwasher models first so cut-outs and points are placed correctly.
- 03
Pick the countertop with the shutters
Select quartz or granite alongside PU or acrylic samples, and before production, so the colours work and cut-outs line up.
- 04
Confirm the chimney duct route
In older Chetpet homes the duct may need a new wall opening. Confirm the route before cabinets are produced.
- 05
Use BWP plywood near water
Insist on BWP plywood for sink cabinets in both kitchens, with edge-banded shutters to resist water splashes.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can my Chetpet kitchen have an island?
Many kitchens here are large enough. The designer checks clearances around the island so appliance doors open fully and movement stays comfortable.
What does a modular kitchen cost in a Chetpet 3BHK?
Approximately ₹69K – ₹1.3L in Basic, ₹83K – ₹1.5L in Premium and ₹97K – ₹1.8L in Ultra Premium, pre-GST, depending on length, shutters and hardware.
Is PU a sensible finish for a kitchen?
Yes, with a good chimney and gentle cleaning. PU gives a smooth, seamless look, though heavy-duty areas like the wet kitchen often use laminate.
Do I really need a separate wet kitchen?
It helps if you cook elaborate meals often, as it keeps oil and steam away from the show kitchen. Smaller households may manage with one well-ventilated kitchen.
How long does a kitchen project take?
Production typically takes 15–20 working days after design approval, followed by a few days of installation, depending on site preparation.
