A practical modular kitchen plan for Indian homes

A good kitchen plan starts with movement: where groceries arrive, where food is washed and prepared, and how two people use the room without blocking each other.

Choose the layout the room can support

Parallel kitchens work well in narrow rooms, L-shaped layouts keep corners open, U-shaped plans add counter space, and islands suit wider open-plan homes. An island should never be added at the cost of comfortable circulation.

Plan around your actual inventory

List the pressure cookers, kadais and large vessels first.
Confirm refrigerator, hob, chimney, oven and dishwasher sizes before drawings are frozen.
Place everyday items between knee and eye level.
Keep cleaning supplies separate from food storage.
Reserve accessible space for waste segregation.

Resolve services before production

Service	Decision to freeze
Electrical	Appliance loads, socket positions and accessible isolators
Plumbing	Sink, purifier, dishwasher and drain locations
Ventilation	Chimney route, make-up air and utility ventilation
Lighting	Counter task lighting, ceiling light and separate switching

Inspect the details at handover

Shutters align and open without collision
Drawers run smoothly under load
Counter and backsplash joints are sealed
Sink cabinet remains accessible
Every appliance and light circuit is tested
