Modular Kitchen Designers in Selaiyur
Selaiyur kitchens come in two broad types: closed kitchens with a window and back door in independent houses, and semi-open kitchens facing the dining area in newer apartments. Each needs a different plan for ventilation, storage and how much of the kitchen is on show, and a good modular design starts with that distinction.

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 Selaiyur
A residential suburb east of Tambaram with independent homes, villa layouts and new apartments.
- Closed kitchens in Selaiyur houses usually have an outer wall, so the chimney can duct straight outside with a short run, which improves suction.
- Semi-open apartment kitchens need shutters that look neat from the dining table, so many owners pick a richer finish on visible units and laminate inside the work area.
- Medium humidity here makes edge-banded shutters and BWP plywood carcasses near the sink a practical baseline rather than an upgrade.
- Families who grind batter at home need a sturdy counter section and a dedicated socket for the wet grinder, ideally away from the hob.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Finalise appliances first
Choose the hob, chimney, microwave and fridge models before cabinet drawings are signed so cut-outs and spaces fit exactly.
- 02
Prefer drawers under the hob
Deep drawers with tandem channels hold pressure cookers and kadais far better than hinged cabinets.
- 03
Choose the countertop before production
Quartz or granite must be decided before the factory starts so sink and hob cut-outs line up.
- 04
Plan the chimney duct route
Mark the duct path and outlet on the wall before tiling, keeping bends to a minimum.
- 05
Keep the triangle tight
Place hob, sink and fridge so you can move between them in a few steps without crossing a doorway.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
How do you design a kitchen that opens to the dining area?
We treat the visible side as furniture, with a cleaner shutter finish and concealed handles, and keep busy storage inside the work area. Good chimney suction matters more in open kitchens.
What does a modular kitchen cost in Selaiyur?
For a typical 2BHK, approximately ₹50K – ₹93K in Basic, ₹60K – ₹1.1L in Premium and ₹70K – ₹1.3L in Ultra Premium, pre-GST. Running length, finish and accessories decide the final figure.
Laminate, acrylic or PU: which should I choose?
Laminate is durable and budget-friendly, acrylic gives a high-gloss look, and PU offers a smooth painted finish at higher cost. Many Selaiyur families use laminate for base units and a premium finish on wall units.
Where should the wet grinder go?
On a sturdy counter section with its own socket, away from the hob and near the sink for easy cleaning. Some families prefer a pull-out shelf to store it below the counter.
How long does a modular kitchen take?
Factory production typically takes 15–20 working days after design approval. Installation follows once the countertop and site are ready.
