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 Tambaram
A major southern suburb and rail hub on GST Road, with independent houses, villa communities and plenty of new apartments.
- Villa kitchens in Tambaram often have a separate store room, and shelving there can reduce how many kitchen cabinets are actually needed.
- Basic is the most popular kitchen package here, usually with upgraded tandem drawers and soft-close hinges for heavier daily use.
- Medium humidity makes BWP plywood under the sink and edge-banded shutters a practical baseline for kitchens expected to last.
- Older independent houses may have a cement slab with tiled shelves below, which needs assessing before modular cabinets are planned around it.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Use the store room first
If your home has a separate store, plan open shelving there for bulk provisions and keep kitchen cabinets for daily items.
- 02
Put heavy items in drawers
Tandem drawers handle pressure cookers and large vessels better than shelves behind hinged shutters, and they are easier to reach.
- 03
Protect the sink base
BWP plywood under the sink prevents the swelling that often appears first in humid Tambaram kitchens.
- 04
Plan the chimney duct route
Confirm where the exhaust will exit before installation. In villas, a short, straight duct gives noticeably better smoke removal.
- 05
Choose the countertop early
Decide on granite or quartz before production so the sink and hob cut-outs line up with the cabinets below.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Is a large villa kitchen much more expensive?
It depends on the running length of cabinets and accessories. Using a store room for bulk items can keep a large kitchen's cost sensible.
Can I reuse my existing granite?
If it is level, uncracked and suits the new layout, yes. The designer checks this during the site visit and reflects it in the estimate.
Which shutter finish lasts longest?
Good laminates are durable and easy to clean, which suits long-term family kitchens in Tambaram. Acrylic and PU give a glossier look at a higher cost.
Do you use branded hardware?
Yes. Elixir works with partner brands like Hettich for hinges and channels, with the hardware grade depending on the package chosen.
How long does a modular kitchen take?
After design approval, factory production typically takes 15–20 working days, followed by installation on site.
