Modular Kitchen Designers in Porur
In Porur's apartments, the kitchen is often the room where a busy household's routine either works or breaks down. A kitchen designer here is useful because they think about appliances, ventilation and storage together, rather than fitting cabinets first and dealing with the problems later.

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 Porur
A western residential and IT hub around the Porur junction and DLF IT park, with many new apartments and gated communities.
- Many Porur households cook twice a day despite long commutes, so a strong chimney, ample drawer storage and a dedicated spot for the mixer-grinder are common priorities.
- Kitchens in newer projects often have the sink near a window and the hob on an adjacent wall, which suits an L-shaped layout and a good work triangle.
- Lake-side humidity in parts of Porur makes BWP plywood for the sink area and edge-banded shutters a practical requirement rather than an extra.
- Builder-installed granite is common in new flats here, and the designer will check whether it can be reused before planning a new countertop.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Choose appliances first
Decide on the hob, chimney, fridge and microwave before the design is drawn, so cabinets are sized correctly.
- 02
Prefer drawers over shelves in base units
Drawers make pots and pans easy to reach, and they use space better than shelves behind shutters.
- 03
Plan chimney ducting
Find out where the exhaust will go before installation. In apartments, the duct route can affect cabinet placement.
- 04
Decide the countertop before production
Quartz or granite should be chosen early so sink and hob cut-outs line up with the cabinets.
- 05
Add enough electrical points
List every appliance you plan to use and make sure there is a socket for each, away from the sink.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
What is the work triangle?
It is the path between the hob, sink and fridge. Keeping these three close but not cramped makes cooking quicker and less tiring.
Can I get a dishwasher in a small kitchen?
Often yes, if it is planned early. The designer will find a spot near the sink with the right plumbing and electrical connections.
Which shutter finish is easiest to clean?
Laminates and acrylic are both easy to wipe. Matte laminates hide fingerprints better, while acrylic offers a glossier look.
Do you use branded hardware?
Yes, Elixir works with partner brands like Hettich for hinges and channels. The exact hardware depends on the package chosen.
How soon can a modular kitchen be installed?
After design approval, production typically takes 15–20 working days, followed by installation on site.
