Modular Kitchen Designers in Mylapore
Kitchens in Mylapore homes carry the heaviest daily load of any room: filter coffee in the morning, tiffin and lunch boxes, and festival cooking for relatives. Elixir's modular kitchen designers plan layouts and hardware around heavy vessels, frequent grinding and the need to keep everything easy to wipe down.

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 Mylapore
Chennai's cultural heart, where traditional homes, temple-street apartments and premium redevelopments share narrow lanes close to the Marina.
- Many older Mylapore kitchens have a granite platform on brick supports. Our designers assess whether to retain it with modular units below or replace the whole setup.
- Heavy brass and steel vessels need drawers with higher-rated channels and BWP plywood carcasses, especially in the sink and hob zones.
- A grinder and mixer are used daily, so we plan dedicated sockets and a sturdy counter section rather than leaving appliances on open ledges.
- Coastal humidity reaches many Mylapore kitchens, so edge-banded shutters and coated hardware are standard recommendations here.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Choose appliances before cabinets
Pick your chimney, hob and fridge models first. Cabinets designed around actual dimensions fit better and avoid rework.
- 02
Prefer drawers to hinged shutters
Deep drawers make heavy vessels easier to access. Too many hinged shutters is a common kitchen mistake.
- 03
Plan the chimney duct
Confirm the exhaust route before carpentry, especially in older buildings where wall openings may be needed.
- 04
Fix the countertop before production
Decide on granite or quartz early so cut-outs for the sink and hob line up with the cabinets.
- 05
Plan tall storage for groceries
A tall pull-out unit keeps rice, dal and spices organised and accessible, saving counter space.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can you work with my existing platform?
If the platform is level and in good condition, we can fit modular base units and shutters below it. The designer checks this at the site visit.
Which hardware brands do you use?
We use branded hardware such as Hettich for hinges, channels and lift-ups. Higher-rated drawers are recommended for heavy vessel storage.
What shutter finish should I choose?
Laminate is durable and easy to clean, acrylic gives a smooth glossy look and PU suits premium kitchens. Edge sealing matters most in a coastal kitchen.
Is a tall unit worth the cost?
In most Mylapore kitchens, yes. A tall pull-out holds a large amount of dry storage in a small footprint and keeps items easy to see.
How long does a modular kitchen take?
Production typically takes 15–20 working days after design approval, followed by installation once any civil work is finished.
