Modular Kitchen Designers in Nungambakkam
Many Nungambakkam kitchens are run day to day by household staff while the family uses them on weekends or for entertaining. That shared use shapes the design, and Elixir's kitchen designers plan clear storage zones, durable working surfaces and a cleaner front for kitchens that open onto the dining area.

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 Nungambakkam
A central, high-value address mixing heritage residences, embassy-belt apartments and compact luxury towers close to the city's commercial core.
- Kitchens used by staff and family need storage that anyone can find quickly, so drawers with organisers and clearly separated zones work better than deep hinged cabinets.
- Open or semi-open kitchens in newer towers are visible from the dining table, which pushes owners towards acrylic or PU shutters and integrated appliances.
- Older apartments may have limited electrical points and dated plumbing, which often need upgrading before a modern kitchen with built-in appliances is fitted.
- Ultra Premium is the most popular kitchen tier in the locality, reflecting a preference for premium shutters, hardware and countertops.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Separate prep from display
If the kitchen is open, keep heavy cooking and washing in a rear section or wet kitchen and a clean counter facing the dining area.
- 02
Label zones for shared use
Drawers for spices, vessels and dry stores in fixed places help staff and family work in the same kitchen easily.
- 03
Fix built-in appliance models first
Built-in ovens, microwaves and refrigerators need exact cabinet cut-outs. Choose models before drawings are finalised.
- 04
Confirm the chimney duct route
In older buildings with few external walls, check how the duct will exit before planning overhead cabinets.
- 05
Choose countertops before production
Settle on granite or quartz early so hob and sink cut-outs align precisely with the cabinets.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Is a separate wet kitchen worth it?
If space allows, yes. It keeps heavy cooking, grinding and washing out of the main kitchen, which stays presentable for guests.
Which shutters suit an open kitchen?
Acrylic and PU give a smooth, premium look for visible areas, while laminate is more forgiving in heavy-use sections handled by staff.
Do built-in appliances increase the kitchen cost?
The cabinetry around built-ins is more precise and can cost more. Appliances themselves are usually bought separately.
Where is BWP plywood most important?
Near the sink and other wet zones. Using it there protects the carcass from water damage, even in a low-moisture locality.
How long does production take?
After design and finishes are approved, factory production typically takes 15–20 working days, followed by installation.
