Top 7 Modular Kitchen Best Practices for Bangalore Apartments

Designing a modular kitchen in a Bangalore high-rise isn't just about looks—it's about technical precision and engineering longevity.

1. The Golden Triangle Rule

The distance between your Stove, Sink, and Refrigerator should form a triangle between 4 to 9 feet. This ensures maximum efficiency during high-speed cooking in busy Bangalore mornings.

2. BWP over Commercial Plywood

Never compromise on the base material. Use 710-grade Boiling Water Proof plywood for all under-counter cabinets to withstand spilled water and Bangalore's humidity.

3. Chimney Ducting & Placement

Always plan your chimney ducting before the false ceiling. Keep the duct length as short as possible with minimal bends for maximum suction power.

4. Smart Corner Storage

L-shaped kitchens often have "dead corners." Use accessories like S-Carousels or Magic Corners to transform unreachable space into useful storage.

5. Lighting: Task & Ambient

Overhead lights are not enough. Install Under-cabinet LED strips to illuminate your workspace directly without casting shadows while chopping.

6. Profile Handles vs Gola Profiles

For a sleek, handle-less look popular in Sarjapur and Whitefield modern apartments, opt for Gola Profiles. They are easier to clean and look incredibly premium.

7. Granite vs Quartz Countertops

While Granite is heat-resistant and natural, Quartz is non-porous and available in stunning white/marble patterns. Choose based on your cooking style (heavy spices = Granite).
