Answers from designers who publish their work on InterioKeys.
For Indian apartments, a kitchen between 120-200 sq ft works well for most families, with a minimum of 8-10 ft width for comfortable movement. The most practical layouts are L-shaped or parallel designs that maximize counter space while keeping the work triangle (sink, stove, refrigerator) efficient. In smaller homes under 600 sq ft, even 80-100 sq ft kitchens can function well with smart storage and compact appliances.
Budget typically ranges from ₹2-5 lakhs for a basic modular kitchen, ₹5-10 lakhs for mid-range with quality materials, and ₹10+ lakhs for premium finishes and appliances. Costs vary by city, material choice (plywood vs particle board), and whether you include electrical work and plumbing. Always allocate 10-15% extra for contingencies and hidden repairs.
Combine overhead LED panels (4000K-5000K daylight) for task lighting with under-cabinet strip lights for counter visibility and ambient lighting for ambiance. In Indian homes with limited natural light, layered lighting prevents shadows while cooking and reduces eye strain. Motion-sensor lights near the entrance and dimmer switches offer convenience and energy savings.
Quartz and granite countertops are popular in India for durability and heat resistance, though engineered quartz requires less sealing. For cabinets, plywood with PU or acrylic finish resists moisture better than particle board in humid Indian climates. Stainless steel or aluminum handles and hinges prevent rust, and matte finishes hide fingerprints better than glossy ones in high-traffic kitchens.
According to Vastu, the kitchen should ideally be in the southeast corner, with the cooking platform facing east for positive energy. The sink and stove should not be adjacent, and the refrigerator is best placed in the southeast or west. While Vastu is traditional guidance, prioritize functionality, natural light, and ventilation—these practical elements also align with modern kitchen design principles.
