What is Modular Kitchen Design Delhi

 

Homular Ideas modular kitchen Design this is a more than 10 year old company and we specialize in modular kitchens. we've also added modular are the furniture in to our kitty but at least our basic specialization is kitchens. I have been touched with lots of new interior designing  when they reach out to us they definitely have an intense knowledge about the basic interior designing. But it's in designing itself a different is section in itself. Which as a standard has been touched upon in their course but this is far more detailed sometimes people do ask me that. why do you would want to start a course for kitchen designing itself since it is one single room kitchen is the heart of the entire home your multitude of activities at a given time with multitude of family members are done hence any small error or any small defect which is left at the time of designing becomes an eyesore for the entire life I have designed experience of more than 10 years.

Designed more than thousand unique kitchens for different clients right from European people to Delhi, Indian people  to judge and people of different in the city  family is joint family is having different requirements hence I consider myself to be an expert and customized designing I've done some prestigious projects where we did a huge kitchen where all the dignitaries were supposed to and have their meals together. we have also done commercial kitchens we're cooking for more than hundred people is done at a certain time so requirements. They are absolutely different we've done kitchens for a general house we've done a kitchen in Delhi I have done. Even one kitchen amazingly in Leyla dark to be hard to RS kind or so he discovered the entire Korean territory. so to say van has gone to Nepal one has gone to London as well in the coming 40 minutes I would like to just touch upon certain details we will discuss a little about the functions of the kitchen then declines needs assessment from Bihar so the client's needs they to be taken into consideration because this is very individualistic designing will discuss the basic layouts and then I will touch upon the questions. You have given me very interesting questions I would like to answer some of them with regard to the functions kitchen is primarily considered a cooking zone.

But apart from cooking or to help to facilitate the cooking there are a number of other activities which are also conducted in this room. Itself they are are like storage refrigeration washing the preparation area and with nowadays the kitchens opening up into the living area open kitchens have come into wave. So even serving areas or the entertainment part also sometimes falls into these open kitchens cooking area as a standard in small kitchens and just to be a two feet table and cook-top and a chimney are necessities nowadays. With smaller households and less ventilation chimneys are a must because they take off take the fumes and all out of people making it more Airy cooking can be as elaborate as adding microwave ovens a piane plates deep fryers you can add inductions. So there is no limit to the elaboration elaborate cooking  as well this would again depend on the individualistic needs as well as the size of the kitchen which will allow us to fit all these appliances storage yes definitely storage any amount of storage people find it short the storage is like number one is for the utensils for the cooking utensils second there is your confectionery the pulses the food articles.

Which you store then comes your vegetable storage some vegetables like and tomatoes and all we can store them in wicker baskets you prove by it some space separate space for them it's yes utensil storage then your food storage then comes your this table storage then the refrigeration storage. The refrigeration can just be a refrigerator the freezer there are separate freezers which can be added there are separate or buy refrigerators which can be added in the further elaborate kitchens washing is also very interested at off the kitchen washing can in a small kitchen can be just a two feet sink or in an elaborate kitchens. we can add Shore shirts washing area also constitutes of your water purifiers the UVs or the arrows. which the family is planning to use your water users are also considered to park to be a part of the washing area nowadays people are opening up to taking dishwashers as well so a care needs to be taken to design this area. also in a precise manner sometimes if the kitchen sizes are a little big I try to give a separate wet area where all these Washington washing  and the dishwasher the geezers and all can be taken outside into a balcony or a shaft area. If the plan allows that and give just a sink into the main kitchen this keeps the main kitchen very tidy and all the clutter and the water part is taken outside of the kitchen very near in nearby I'll show you certain other pictures even in this picture if you see this is the separate area. which I has been separated by a wall there was a pillar so we extended this a little to segregate the water area from the main kitchen.

So the main kitchen remains much more then the preparation area is definitely required in small kitchens we try to leave at least two feet of space on both sides of the table because Indian cooking requires lots of chapati rolling and all you need space very near the on both side of the forum. so at least do two feet is mandatory on both sides of the hall and fortunately if the kitchen space allows a lots of preparation area separately can also be given in case you be are planning an island or a peninsula so this preparation table can be taken onto the backside onto the island. as well but more and more households opening to be mod open kitchen concepts with the studio apartment looks coming into style open kitchens are when the kitchen one or two walls of the kitchen are missing and the kitchen becomes a part of the huger lip ring area in itself hence. The kitchen area by giving a serving counter by giving a serving common like in this picture also. If you see this wall has been done away with and a serving counter has been added over here the top has also been differentiated with the look besides to this tile as well as the solving part is also considered sometimes there are we consider the kitchens to be primary kitchens as well as secondary kitchens in huge houses or farmhouses there are kitchens.

Where the primary cooking is done and there is another kitchen which is called the serving kitchen or the entertaining kitchen we're just the reheating and the serving part is done so hence that entertaining part also entertainment is also done through the secondary kitchen since. we are designing the very individualistic kitchen one of the main things a student know the client's needs of the kitchen. what do they want from the kitchen so we have an elaborate itching design form which all the activities which the family is planning to do in the kitchen right from the family size means their one thing they generally make their shopping habits the people who would be working in the kitchen is it a primary or is it a secondary kitchen and a list of appliances. which wants the kitchen to be fitted with again the appliances also state the existing appliances it declines sometimes they use their existing refrigerators or what are pewter fires they want to reuse into the new kitchen or there is also a section which states the new appliance if they are planning to buy a new appliance like microwave oven whichever they are comfortable. With they it is enumerated on this form and then we buy at the time of designing these things are considered but we need to act. two people are supposed to be working in a kitchen at a certain point of time but in case it's a joint family the cooking area the what area the storage and the preparation area need to be given at different places so that at a given moment three or four people are able to work comfortably in the kitchen without banging into each other so we need to know the family size with regard to the cuisines the height of our countertop also varies with the cuisines then we had time our kitchen for demolition they work with box the cooks use box and they they are they make new does or fried rice oil.

so the height of the countertop was taken way down so that the chef can peep into and work very well into the wall the big regard to the few scenes we'd accordingly would be adding the appliances also so we need to know the cuisines we had done a kitchen for an Austrian lady she had and added she had taken two ovens because in their culture they have one oven for meats and the second event is for desserts. so you need to know the cuisine of the family so that you can design it accordingly shopping habit would define the amount of storage which the kits which the kitchen requires a family which stacks up every can with a small pantry itself but the family who are who buy confectionery and all once in a month would be requiring big pantry is three feet or 4 feet pantry is air the entire stock can be stocked up in India. we are fortunate to have staff and help the maids and the cooks so we need me definitely ask the clients that who would be running the kitchen would be working in the kitchen mode in case it is more servants run kitchen it means they they were happy taking very high-end internal fittings very delicate like spicy Oreos. They were happy taking shelf lights because cooking itself was an experience for them we also need to define as I talked earlier whether it is a primary kitchen or a secondary kitchen primary kitchen is a heavy duty kitchen where we need to give large drawers where the maximum of the activities would be done so Kendra kitchens are just show kitchens where just think serving part is 1 so the serving cutlery the serving crockery that would go into the secondary kitchen secondary kitchen can also combine a bar unit along with it because that is more of an entertainment zone. primary kitchen is like the more heavy duty where the entire preparation and cooking is supposed to happen when we ask the clients for their requirements we definitely give them Kitchen appliances list is also given in the course which really we've already uploaded on Homular appliances again enumerate so that the client sets thinking over whether do I need this do and any new appliance or any existing appliance or so this set which are further used when we are designing the individual perfect kitchen for them.

 There are many layouts which you can choose the layouts would primarily depend on the available space but if the clients are open to the idea and the in trust the site is at the infrastructure stay right about now you can definitely do some changes open up one wall or half wall like here the half wall has been removed and this said this area has been turned into an intermediate zone this is a hop over zone between the dining and the kitchen area. so this adds a little lightness this besides that design value also to the kitchen this wall you see this is hiding the cooking part so that the clutter is not visible but a little aesthetically this part looks beautiful there are different layouts which you can choose from this is a straight-flying kitchen in a straight line in kitchen the three zones broadly your refrigeration the cooking and the water fall on a single line hence it is called one straight line kitchen l-shaped kitchen l-shape is the most commonly available. which we do because the generally in medium-sized kitchen the third wall is occupied by the refrigerator this is an l-shaped kitchen this part we have added we have extended it into the living area just to show how the in an open format the kitchen can also be extended into the living area making a part of the living area itself in an l-shaped kitchen again your two walls have cabinetry and the water area of cooking and the refrigeration around adjusted on these two l-shaped walls this is a u-shaped kitchen in u-shaped kitchen three walls are used again and the work triangles are arranged on all these three walls care needs to be taken to give the deeper units like refrigerators or the pantries into the corners because if we give any deep unit in the middle it would break our countertop and the smooth functioning would stop so any deeper unit like your refrigerator the pantry units appliances units they need to be given on either corner. This is a G shaped kitchen G shaped kitchen is like it is again a u-shaped kitchen primarily a u-shaped kitchen and three or four feet area is added it can be added unless high or if it is a closed kitchen so then there can be a door here and it would be a completely shaped kitchen it looks a little claustrophobic and it requires at least a 12 feet by 12 feet space then only this GE shape would function well otherwise it would become very claustrophobic I had some of your questions how to design small space designs it is a challenge to fit all the requirements of a client into a small space what I generally recommend is take a small pantry a pantry just for 50 mm width it occupies only one and a half feet width of your countertop and since the depth is full depth is like two feet it adds a lots of volume to the kitchen it takes every only one and a half feet of your work. come and just into the refrigerator wherever you are giving the refrigerator along with that add of one and a half or two feets complete tall and unit we call them pantry units sometimes as a standard people also keep a microwave oven on to their countertops that takes away the counter space what we would I generally suggest is convert that to feed area into a pantry into a complete pantry and accommodate. The microwave into it so anyway your countertop had been taken away by just it's in the microwave over there now you've added a huge volume of storage there so pantry definitely serves the purpose of her country and lots a large amount of storage speak and go in there again when you are designing small kitchens sometimes there are little windows which are opening in three shafts the view is not actually too good but it but definitely we require the light and the ventilation if you want to add more oil cabinets so this you can close this window and our kitchens as a standard kitchens go up to seven feet height so you above seven feet you can open up that entire area into a ventilator kind of a thing you can increase the width up till 7 feet 8 feet however much the shaft area allows.

 so you would be I think it's similar volume of a condo for ventilation and light and you can add cabinet over here in case the window is having a pleasant view or or you can have a look at the main door or main gate from there then definitely the window needs to be kept I've just shared a design of a small kitchen like you can take the microwave instead of putting the microwave on the countertop it can be taken in a wall hanger manner or you can take it in as a complete pantry unit here. so there lots of storage can be added in this small in a small kitchen the work triangle also needs to be considered because it it need not be it should not be very close by sometimes because the size of the kitchen is small you tend to place the cooking cooking over here let us say and the sink over here so then the people cannot stand together and work so try make in a small size kitchens try making the work triangle as far as possible so that there is ample movement space for people to work add more number of drawers into these smaller kitchens because drawers provide you more accessibility especially in the rear cabinets the any objects which go into the low bottom most shelf become non accessible with drawers they are easily accessible and they add to your construct based in the wall cabinets try giving flexible shelves don't fix the shelves. they the shelves go and shelf supports systems and just like your refrigerator shelves you can adjust them so give two shells instead of one and give them adjustable so that if they have tiny mugs or tiny glasses so they can add more layers into that area hence providing you with more of smooth space we have different different accessories like your spy stereos like we already traced these are small these are small or small accessories which which functionally give you lots of space you can browse by stereos and cutlery trays so you get two more about and this is.

Yes the window can be taken above seven feet if the space allows that I also had a question with regard to how to treat the corners so this I'm talking about the base corners the under counter cabinets we call these corners this is a blind corner and the second one is an l-shape corner so in a blind corner the shutter opening is just the front part and because the odd the cabinetry next cabinetry start from here so this dead end is utilized from this shutter area optimum utilization of space is crucial if you give shelf the area from edge to edge can be utilized for storage. so maximum amount of storage can be kept though it becomes a little inaccessible to reach just to save that in accessibility different internal fittings are prevalent nowadays like elements like magic or worse these with the utilization of these accessories the back portion comes out for you and accessibility increases as a standard when we are planning the kitchens and there are two corners in a kitchen I generally suggest the clients to take accessory in one corner which would provide you. accessibility and take shelf or no shelf in the second corner because in Indian cooking be sometimes have la our utensils or sometimes nowadays gas cylinders are becoming a little obsolete otherwise this corner used to be utilized to put the gas cylinders as well the second corner is the L corner so here both these shutters. open simultaneously and the corner spaces entirely accessible to you here again you can take the shelf or if you want to store sometimes people do have big boxes of rice or oils. so you can they cannot make any shelf here otherwise different accessories available like the corner. so that the back part also comes out for you so you can also suggest accessories for this corner which would make the accessibility of this the corners also easier similar shape is used for the ball corners also if you are turning the corners of the wall units similar shapes are utilized there as well both no internal accessory goes into the wall cabinet because the depth of the wall cabinets is hardly 300 mm and you just you are able to place one single stack of utensils.

so no accessory is available for this area but the shape would remain similar for the wall corners also one of the questions was what color combinations should we take for the kitchens color combination there are no rules and regulations for color because like designing is a individualistic. so I generally tell that tell my students that you just learn the rules first then you can break the rules and come out filter so generally people have a tendency at the small the smaller kitchens should be done in lighter colors. so that it's in appears bigger because the lighter colors are receding colors as far as my my preference was I try to give the base cabinetry in a medium dark color because all this village and any splashes while mopping in all deep they happen on to the base cabinetry so try giving the base cabinetry in a medium dark color and the wall cabinets can be done in white of fives lighter tones I understand that some of you are having difficulties. so the color combinations sometimes people do to us follow was also since kitchen is considered to be the higher element so all the fire colors die like the yellows Orange they are preferred to be taken in the kitchen sometimes clients do follow us who till the last detail. so and I have done kitchens Mira we had given the countertop as lucky' red the entire kitchen was done cream and the countertop was taken as I read just because bus who says the top should be read otherwise primarily nowadays we are doing more of modern kitchens so modern kitchens can be done in single color tones or you can set two colors where the base color can be a little darker and the wall cabinet and tall cabinets can be taken in lighter colors you can add color with tiles the different class shutters with countertops with open boxes as well so for with it out of the color sky is the limit. you can take just a unique color kitchen and add just a second color with some open boxes or some artifacts or the same color can be echoed in the highlight of the tiles in the secondary kitchens or in case your kitchens are an open kitchen they are an extension of the living area then you know what. so opt for thematic kitchens you can pick up a theme it can be a modern theme it can be a marine theme I know you enter theme which would which would II equal right from the kitchen into the living area itself this theme can be echoed in your countertops in the finished color you can pick up a row or a get finished for the shutters in planning a rugged interior in case you are planning an oriental look. you can eat lots of open boxes into this kitchen and put artifacts of oriental theme. so that the entire thing matches in itself I had another question from your end with regard to the ergonomics of the kitchen is a place where you would be working or the client would be booked in for a long period of time so number one is the head space when you are working the counter spit the counter is 2 feet deep and the wall cabinet is is taken 1 foot. so that you have that Headroom when you are chopping when you are working some because clients want more and more storage and they do suggest that wha I don't we take the depth of the wall having it deeper. so that we have more storage but at no point of time do not give the wall cabinet more than fourteen inches there because it will hinder their working further down the line the height of the hyped cabinets height as a standard our pans to taken to be from 800 mm to 900 ml 900 mm is a European height for Indians we generally take 800 mm from the floor as the standard height though if the space allows and who can provide a separate kneading area the kneading area is six inches lower than the regular height then only you are able to work the dough properly the world cabinet heights generally starts from foreign feet from the floor and they are just as a standard we taped in two feet height or 700 mm height in case some clients want additional storage the wall cabinets can be extended till the roof also you can give separate loft area but loft area generally goes only for occasional storage because this cannot be readily reachable the different internal accessories like.

The drawers the bottle pull outs and all they also help with the posture of the client because it is a little cumbersome to bend down and bend into a base cabinet to pull out the things so the internal accessories are a big help for that as well we also try to give you pantry drawers. which are at eye level and very easily the things can be sorted out and they can be organized in a very smooth manner putting less burden on your back this is the large slide this is again one of the art projects which we had done here you can see there's a separate water area has been assigned a veggie sink just a tiny vegetable sink has been given on to this in and Sylla. so that they don't need to rush for the cooking water inside into the water area and the color combination has been taken as twin color this be a Jew with white and brown glasses have been taken the third wall.
