What Are Some Tips for Designing and Installing a Modular Kitchen?
Below are some tips that can help you in your modular kitchen design and crafting:
- The Golden Triangle
One modular kitchen design tip is honouring the golden triangle. It has three elements: the cooktop, sink, and refrigerator. This is where most of the cooking happens. Ideally, the sum of the distance between these three elements must not exceed 26 feet. It is a good idea to ensure a distance of 4 to 9 feet between each point while designing your ideal modular kitchen.
- Lighting
A kitchen with good lighting helps in convenient cooking. Make sure to have lights directed towards key work areas such as the cooking and cleaning areas. Additionally, always add lighting under your cabinets as they obstruct ceiling lights.
- Budgeting
It is a good practice to have a budget laid down before the modular kitchen creation process. The estimated price may be as low as INR 50,000. But decide if you wish to go for additional features or premium materials that may cost more. After making a clear budget, you can go through different modular kitchen payment plans and funding options.
